October 9, 2006
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – KODAK Remote Business Manager software, powered by Esprida Enterprise, is now available for KODAK Picture Kiosks. Retailers can use RBM to centrally manage their Kodak Picture Kiosk networks to maximize equipment availability, increase profitability, and enhance the consumer experience.
KODAK, the world's largest retail-photo kiosk provider, has more than 80,000 Picture Kiosks installed at retail locations worldwide. The Picture Kiosks provide self-service-lab quality prints in seconds.
Key retailers around the world who own and operate KODAK photo kiosks are installing Esprida software. Automated functionality makes managing various marketing, sales and advertising programs, including event-related pricing and the frequency of in-store promotions, both easy and efficient. RBM collects and delivers production data, generates reports on sales volumes on single stores, groups of stores or an entire chain, anytime, anywhere.
To minimize equipment downtime and staff intervention, the system proactively monitors and controls in-store equipment to ensure consumables are replenished in a timely manner. It automatically detects diagnoses and self-repairs based on pre-determined business rules.
"We are committed to supporting KODAK and its retailers with software that improves the operation and viability of the vast network of KODAK Picture Kiosks around the globe," said Anila Jobanputra, president of Esprida Corp.
