We have commenced work on major software changes for newsagents to meet new standards which have been determined for several newsagent product categories.  We will be the first software company to deliver access to these changes to newsagents - in part because we own several newsagencies ourselves and in part because we have more newsagents using our software than all other newsagent software suppliers combined.

The changes to be delivered in 2009 are the most significant I have seen in the last five years since the introduction of EDI.  I say this because they cover several product categories whereas XchangeIT covered one.  They will be essential to newsagents who want to grow their businesses this year.

Our commitment to Tower Newsagents is that we will deliver all enhancements necessary to comply with industry changes and to keep Tower Newsagents competitive.
