WATFORD ELECTRONICS GROUP DEVELOPS BREAKTHROUGH PHOTO PRINTING KIOSK
Watford Electronics Group Announces the PrintPod Kiosk and Its Entry To The Marketplace.
Luton, Beds, June 1st - At the upcoming Retail Solutions Show at the NEC, Watford Electronics will demonstrate its new internet connected, self service PrintPod Kiosk. This enables retailers to capitalise on the massive category growth opportunity of prints from digital without the need for counter staff to attend transactions or collect payments, which minimises queues and shrinkage.
Many believe that photo printing kiosks are the NEXT BIG THING in retailing. Prints fulfilled through them are enjoying phenomenal growth.
PrintPod Kiosks allow consumers to make prints from pictures taken by their mobile phones and digital cameras. No intervention by counter staff is required, removing labour costs, and eliminating queues. PrintPod Kiosks even automatically collects payment from the consumer, via notes and coins (issuing change) or credit and debit cards with chip and pin.
PrintPod Kiosks provide consumers with stunningly fast service, while providing retailers with a valuable source of extra revenue and profit. Their appeal is across all ages and in all retail channels. PrintPod kiosks drive extra profit AND additional footfall.
Shiraz Jessa, Group Managing Director, Watford Electronics Group comments: “Our mission has been consistent: to make IT technology accessible to all, through all channels. Clearly, this philosophy has been embodied in the PrintPod Kiosk. Its unique shape, and its simple to use software do not intimidate, but pass the ‘grandma test’ with flying colours. We believe that this product has the widest consumer appeal of all photo printing kiosks currently available”.
The PrintPod kiosk works in less than 3ft2 of space. Regular PrintPod kiosks carry “Print by Sony” branding to signal the quality and consistency of output. The kiosk can also be adapted to carry a retailer’s individual livery.
Print Pod Limited will be showcasing their latest Print Pod unit at Retail Solutions 2005, (June 7/8/9) at the NEC in partnership with Trintech, providers of the Print Pod’s robust and secure chip and PIN payment infrastructure. The product is available now. Retailers requiring more details can visit www.printpod.co.uk or contact Print Pod Limited on 0871 855 0100.
