Kodak Moments updates retail software with 60 features

Kodak Moments released a new version of its photo printing software, Kodak Moments Retail Software version 23.2, delivering 60 new features and upgrades designed to keep retailers on the leading edge of innovation, while making it easier for store clerks to manage and fulfill print orders. The new software is compatible with a wide range of photo printing solutions including Kodak Moments Kiosks, Kodak Moments Self-Service Print Stations, and the Kodak Moments Adaptive Picture Exchange (APEX) dry lab solution.

“Our software is the engine that drives our award-winning photo printing solutions and delivers value to retailers,” said Steve Turberg, Director of Current Retail Solutions for Kodak Moments. “Hundreds of thousands of consumers use Kodak Moments touchpoints each day. We’re committed to keeping our retail partners up to date and ahead of the curve by constantly innovating and finding new ways to improve our software. This is one of the best ways to help retailers grow revenue, meet consumer demand, and deliver a superior experience.”

Kodak Moments says Kodak Moments Retail Software v23.2 “gives retailers greater control over order fulfillment and allows store clerks to modify a print order on the APEX dry lab.” The software also offers a power-saving feature: Thermal printers can now go into “sleep mode” when not in use. This capability is available on Kodak Moments Kiosks, Self-Service Print Stations, and APEX dry lab systems.

With the new software from Kodak Moments, retailers can offer several new premium-quality photo products for same-day delivery. Consumers can design and purchase these personalized products by creating online and printing in-store or ordering directly from a Kodak Moments Kiosk or Self-Service Print Station. Store clerks can also print the expanded line of products using the APEX dry lab solution.

Among the new products:

• The Kodak Moments Custom Cover Journal is a personalized notebook featuring the consumer’s favorite photos plus a logo, design, or custom text on a hardcover. It has 100 lined pages that lay flat.
• Retailers now have access to an expanded drinkware module, which gives consumers more Photo Mug colors to choose from. The popular drinkware products are now available in white and four two-tone color options: white with black, pink, red, or blue.
• The Coin Bank can be customized with designs that feature consumers’ favorite photos and text. This product is in limited distribution and will be fully rolled out later this year.

A new Direct Transfer feature streamlines photo uploads in-store to make it easier for consumers to connect their phones to kiosks in three steps. Unlike traditional tethering, Direct Transfer allows users to quickly print photos stored in Google, Apple, and other cloud-based services.

“Our latest version of Kodak Moments Retail Software gives consumers the tools and technology they need to turn their special moments into premium quality photo products,” said Turberg. “We continue to make it easy for consumers to connect, create, order, and print from their phones. And by enabling same-day service, we are helping retailers deepen relationships with their customers for long-term success.”
