SIMPLE QUICK AND FUN!
PrintPod Limited is small enough to attend to the needs of our customers. Yet, with the help of its sister companies we have the resources of a major IT player.
Using the resources of our sister companies, we have an excellent understanding and awareness of new IT technologies. Not only do we have our own in house software development team, but we have access to a wide range of developer resources through our sister companies. We have leading edge expertise in payment systems (chip and pin for retail transactions, 3D Secure and .NET for web transactions).
We have our own help desk, service engineers and parts logistics….these are not outsourced in the UK!
PrintPod Limited's management team has a strong background in the imaging business. We have a deep understanding of how to sell prints to consumers. We have been working with photo printing kiosks for over 15 years. We have worked with the imaging category across a wide range of retail and mail order channels.
Our approach is to make the experience simple, quick and fun. Our mission is to offer outstanding ease of use for consumers and retailers.
Our PrintPod kiosks look and feel friendly….they don’t look like computer terminals……they have been designed to be accessible to all. They require minimal involvement from staff, they even collect the payment and give change. This helps keep queuing and shrinkage to a minimum, and helps serve consumers quickly and efficiently.
We have built our Print Pod kiosks with the future in mind. We have specified components, so that our customers are “hardware ready” for a whole host of new business opportunities that will emerge over the coming months.
So please read on about the next retail revolution.
