AccessVia Managed Print Services for the Shelf-Edge offers an extremely low-cost entry point for retailers looking to improve shelf-edge merchandising. With this solution, there is no need to purchase printers, buy servers, install and configure software.

AccessVia Managed Print Services for the Shelf-Edge include a complete package of software, services, and printers needed to operate an enterprise-wide shelf-edge signage system.

• AccessVia Web dSignShop SaaS is ready to run. Retailers can go from decision to implementation in a matter of weeks.
• No up-front investment in computer hardware, software, printers, or ink/toner.
• Choose printers and printer services from a number of manufacturers.
• Full-color printers eliminate the need for pre-printed sign stock.
• Proactive printer supplies management and in-store printer maintenance improve up-time and operational efficiencies.

The bundled software-plus-printer package is offered in an affordable pay-per-use model. Retailers pay just pennies for each page printed – there are no separate software fees, toner replacement costs, or up-front printer acquisition costs.

Retailers can choose the best printing solution from an AccessVia print partner, including the latest printers from Xerox®, OKI Data Corporation, and HP.

Key to the AccessVia Managed Print Services offering is Web dSignShop SaaS. This scalable sign printing solution is delivered on the AccessVia Enterprise Cloud Platform and is designed for retailers who want to outsource implementation, maintenance and support activities. Using data from a central source, Web dSignShop SaaS seamlessly and dynamically delivers print and digital promotions to stores for immediate availability and high-speed production via the Internet. The smart technologies of Web dSignShop SaaS deliver signs that are always accurate, never out-of-date, and perfectly in sync with point-of-sale and backend retail systems.

Web dSignShop SaaS is one of the many powerful tools in the AccessVia Publishing Platform. The AccessVia Publishing Platform gives retailers control over all aspects of designing, publishing, and managing shelf-edge product merchandising. The AccessVia Publishing Platform seamlessly delivers print and digital promotions to stores for immediate availability or to central print service providers for high-speed production. Stores can re-print from centrally produced batches. The same system publishes to digital signs and ESLs — ensuring consistency across all customer touch points. To measure the success of promotions and understand store activity, the Platform also delivers analysis and reports of store activity and provides intelligence on how promotions impact sales.
