Panasonic integrates video surveillance and POS solutions
February 5, 2008
SECAUCUS, N.J. — Panasonic System Solutions has unveiled an integrated solution that combines control and management capabilities of the company's video surveillance and point of sale systems onto a single seamless platform. The new software-driven solution called Virtual Site Manager was developed in cooperation with Compass Group, one of the world's largest food service companies.
"Panasonic's Virtual Site Manager provides a highly sought-after business solution that integrates previously disparate video surveillance and POS systems operations," said Frank DeFina, president of Panasonic System Solutions. "Panasonic's video surveillance and POS systems are highly recognized systems solutions in their respective core industries. By providing a seamless integration platform for these two systems, we are extending their combined functionalities to deliver a much broader business solution for the enterprise."
Virtual Site Manager pairs POS workstation data with recorded video to provide a comprehensive record of transactions and cashiers' interactions with customers. In addition to supplementing core POS and video surveillance operations, Panasonic's VSM provides a wealth of information for various related business operations including senior management, purchasing, human resources and finance.
A complete Panasonic branded solution, VSM allows users to perform data searches for terms like "void", "coupons" or "no sale" to identify any incidents that have occurred and to deter dishonesty among employees. Additional functionality includes the ability to track and monitor employee attendance, behavior, appearance and more, from anywhere in the world via an Internet connection.
VSM is also a valuable marketing tool that provides analytics of promotional campaigns, product placement and sales activities. While keeping a pulse on daily retail activities from any remote location, users can test and activate marketing and product placement programs at multiple store locations, as well as edit appropriate PLUs, coupons, product prices and taxes.
