Photo Solution Targets Resellers and Retailers with Award-Winning Software
Sacramento, Calif. – February 26, 2006 – WebRaiser Technologies, Inc., the leader in software for the self-service economy, launched VendiPix at PMA 2006, the world’s largest photo imaging trade show. VendiPix™ combines WebRaiser’s award-winning VendiSoft™ self-service software with best-in-class Image2Print™ photo processing software. VendiPix is a unique photo and digital signage network designed to meet the demand of resellers and retailers for a store-branded solution that maintains the highest levels of uptime performance. PMA 2006, which is the 82nd annual convention of Photo Marketing Association International, is being held in Orlando, Florida from February 26th to March 1st. VendiPix demonstrations will be available at the Build your own Kiosk Pavilion in Booth# 4372-12.
WebRaiser’s VendiSoft software development environment is at the heart of VendiPix. The software includes an advanced kiosk operating system and remote device management that automatically triggers restocking of paper and toner. VendiPix kiosks are networked together so that a regional or national retailer can have centralized control of all of their devices. Each VendiPix unit also includes a secondary digital signage screen that narrowcasts custom advertising and product messages to consumers.
"For years photo companies have tried to conquer self-service, and kiosk companies have tried to be photo experts, both resulting in limited success. With VendiPix you get the best of both worlds," said Gary De Blaquiere. WebRaiser’s co-founder and Vice President of Business Development, "We designed VendiPix to set new standards in the digital photo space by combining our unmatched self-service architecture with superior photo imaging software."
WebRaiser has integrated Beaufort Solutions' Image2Print imaging software engine. Image2Print makes it possible to customize the look and feel with the ability to easily adapt branding, splash screens, colors, languages, and product output offerings, With Image2Print, VendiPix can be tailored to fit any reseller's market niche.
"We also designed VendiPix as a custom-branded photo kiosk for resellers and retailers who want to control their brand and marketing strategy," added De Blaquiere. "VendiPix is the first photo kiosk that includes a second screen for digital signage and POS advertising as a standard feature. With VendiPix, we made sure that we built a marketing machine, not just a new photo kiosk."
