Is there a way of validating the capability of LossPrevention before we commit to an outright purchase?
PCMS does not believe that data exercises alone add any real value in evaluating the value of a data mining solution or provide any support to a business case. Our approach would be to engage with you to deliver and use our solution so you are able to fully validate our solution's capability, usability, fit to your business and real value returned. We are confident that our expertise and our solution will allow us to deliver this approach on a cost neutral or cost positive basis.
How much does LossPrevention cost?
LossPrevention can be purchased on a one off perpetual licence basis or on a fully managed service basis both of which will vary from retailer to retailer depending upon the scope of each individual implementation. PCMS would be pleased to offer a quotation specified to your business and your requirements.
Do PCMS offer LossPrevention as a 'Software as a Service' option?
LossPrevention is available on a SaaS basis for retailers who want to take advantage of PCMS's ability to manage all aspects of the implementation and management of the solution, as well as take advantage of spreading the cost over an agreed period. Managing IT services for retailers is a core function of the PCMS business and we are happy to discuss the SaaS option to meet you individual requirements.
How long will it take to get LossPrevention installed & working in my business?
PCMS have a tried and trusted implementation methodology which delivers a quick to market capability for our customers. However, the specific timescales will always be individual to the retailer based on the individual PoS type, access to data feeds and specific business requirements and implementation plans. PCMS always aim to achieve a maximum 12 week implementation period for client hosted contracts. The Software as a Service implementation option is typically achieved in shorter timescales.
What EPoS systems will LossPrevention integrate to?
PCMS LossPrevention will integrate to any PoS solution and the task of integration to individual PoS types is a fundamental element of our implementation process. LossPrevention will easily take into account the variability of individual PoS feeds, content and structure. We are happy to discuss this further to address any concerns you might have.
Will LossPrevention integrate with other store and back office systems?
LossPrevention has been designed with this in mind. Our data module approach alongside the core Loss Prevention capabilities allows data to be integrated from other sources, such as RFID, cash management, stock movement, HR, EAS and CCTV to provide you with complete visibility of the bigger picture.
