360COMMERCE EMBEDS ACCESSVIA SIGN AND LABEL PRINTING IN RETAIL APPLICATIONS
Customers win with easy access to sign and label printing within store operation tasks
SEATTLE, August 2, 2005 – AccessVia®, the leading provider of automated sign printing solutions and electronic display technologies for retailers, today announced that 360Commerce, the leading provider of Java store and workforce optimization solutions, will integrate the AccessVia Print sign and label printing technology with its own retail software solutions. By embedding the printing capabilities into their applications, 360Commerce will offer its customers the power to seamlessly produce signs and labels from within their Back Office application.
AccessVia Print is the leading software solution for in-store publishing, enabling individual stores to create and print corporate-branded shelf-edge signs and labels. The signs and labels are composed using real-time corporate item data combined with predesigned templates. This architecture ensures speed, accuracy, and ease of use. As part of the 360Commerce retail management modules, the task of printing signs and labels will be related to such inventory events as price changes, new product introduction, and special promotions—keeping store operations streamlined and efficient.
Retailers need only an ordinary desktop printer to print signs and labels using the AccessVia technology. This made the AccessVia solution particularly attractive to 360Commerce, as they serve retailers from every sector and with a variety of technology configurations.
“Our software provides robust and flexible management of large retailers’ store operations,” said Tom Fornoff, vice president of business development for 360Commerce. “Partnering with AccessVia lets our customers readily add best-of-breed sign and label printing to their stores. Our customers have been looking for ways to consistently and easily produce great-looking signage, and now we’re able to provide that capability.”
“The decision by 360Commerce to go with AccessVia Print for their sign and label printing demonstrates the flexibility of this technology,” says Dean A. Sleeper, AccessVia CEO. “By integrating readily with other solutions and connecting seamlessly to nearly any store platform, the superior compatibility and performance of AccessVia Print attracts industry leaders like 360 Commerce.”
The AccessVia Print solution includes both Web dSignShop and dSIGN to provide clients with accurate and attractive signs, shelf-edge labels, fact tags, coupons, and more. Web dSignShop is designed for retailers who want to use the Internet, an intranet, or an extranet to publish signs using a Web browser without installing or maintaining in-store software. dSIGN is built for classic client/server implementations and offers advanced product data delivery and unmatched integration with legacy systems. AccessVia also offers a solution for automated electronic displays, including customer-facing POS displays, self-service terminals, and kiosk applications for price verification, assisted shopping, endless aisle services, and gift registry.
AccessVia customers include Linen’s ‘n Things, Kroger, LCBO, Petco, Safeway, Staples, SUPERVALU, Target, and Walgreens.
