Top to Toe

What Top to Toe does

Top to Toe is a UK-based software provider of specialist EPOS and stock management systems designed exclusively for clothing and footwear retailers. Founded in 1986 by Michael Bloom after identifying a gap for a variant-aware retail system, the company operates under the legal entity T2T Consumables Ltd and is headquartered in London. It is a family-led business with 20+ full-time staff serving thousands of independent SMB retailers across the UK and Ireland, and reports reinvesting over 25% of turnover into its development team.

The core product is a modular EPOS platform differentiated by a proprietary matrix-based architecture for managing product variants. Where general-purpose EPOS systems typically treat each size and colour combination as a separate SKU, the matrix grid consolidates variants into a unified view, which the company claims enables up to 30x faster product creation, stock entry and till lookup. The platform is delivered through tiered subscriptions (Ignite at £19.95/week, Momentum at £29.95/week) plus £15/week add-ons per till or eCommerce channel, with tiered till hardware available for rental (Tablet Till at £7/week, Pro Till at £10/week, Elite Designer Till at £13/week). Modules extend the system into eCommerce integration, CRM and loyalty, multi-store management, card-terminal integration and accounting export (Xero, Sage, QuickBooks).

The go-to-market is direct: personalised demos via the website, an inside sales team producing bespoke quotations, and phone-led support from a London base, with no channel partners or resellers. Integrated partnerships with Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, eBay, Magento, BigCommerce, Visualsoft, EKM, Adobe Commerce, Dojo, Takepayments, Paymentsense and Verifone extend the platform without third-party middleware. The company claims a 4.9/5 client rating and 98% satisfaction, and reports 99.5% retention across its install base. Recent AI features (predictive stock forecasting, AI personal stylist, generative product descriptions, visual search) have been layered into the existing system without disrupting the underlying matrix architecture.

Broad incumbents

• Clover: POS and business management platform from Fiserv serving small businesses. Comparable subscription model with hardware bundles, competing at SMB level across multiple verticals with a strong payments-led value proposition.
• Zettle (by PayPal): POS and payment solution from PayPal serving small businesses. Competes at the SMB end of the market with simplified hardware/software bundles, though with less apparel-specific feature depth.
• Lightspeed: Cloud-based POS and commerce platform serving retailers and restaurants globally, including apparel and footwear. Comparable in offering multi-channel EPOS with eCommerce integration, but operates at much larger scale and across broader verticals.
• Shopify POS: Integrated POS offering from Shopify for retail stores with deep eCommerce integration. A direct integration partner of Top to Toe but also a competitor for retailers choosing an end-to-end commerce platform over a specialist EPOS.
• Square: Broad POS platform from Block serving small businesses across many verticals. While less specialized in clothing variant handling, its ecosystem, hardware bundles, and pricing pressure make it a credible competitor in Top to Toe's SMB retail segment.
• TouchBistro: POS system primarily for hospitality but expanding into retail. Comparable subscription model and SMB focus with iPad-based hardware, though predominantly focused on food service rather than apparel retail.

Direct peers

• Kounta (Lightspeed Kounta): Cloud POS platform (now part of Lightspeed) serving hospitality and retail with iPad-based hardware. Comparable subscription model and SMB focus, with multi-channel capabilities overlapping Top to Toe's offering.
• Epos Now: UK-based EPOS provider serving small and medium retailers with subscription-based POS software and hardware bundles. Direct competitor targeting similar UK SMB retail customers, including clothing and footwear, with a comparable modular pricing approach.
• Vend (Lightspeed Retail): Cloud POS system (now part of Lightspeed) specializing in retail with inventory, customer management, and integrations. Closely comparable on multi-store retail management and cloud delivery, though targeting a broader set of retail verticals.

Regional players

• Visualsoft: UK eCommerce platform specializing in fashion and apparel retail. A direct integration partner for Top to Toe and a complementary software provider serving the same UK independent clothing retailer customer base.
