AccessVia Announces Xerox Joins AccessVia Managed Print Services for the Shelf-Edge

Retailers Pay Just Pennies-per-Page for Full-Color Sign and Label Printing Solution with AccessVia Web dSignShop SaaS and Xerox Color Printers

SEATTLE January 13, 2012 -- AccessVia and Xerox are offering a simple one-stop solution for retail shelf-edge sign printing with a unique pay-per-use financial model. Retailers can print full-color shelf-edge signs and labels from AccessVia Web dSignShop SaaS to a range of Xerox color printers in stores.

The bundled software-plus-printer package is offered in an affordable pay-per-use model with retailers paying pennies for each page printed instead of separate software fees, toner replacement expenses, and up‑front printer acquisition costs.

The AccessVia Managed Print Services for the Shelf-Edge program developed by AccessVia and Xerox offers an extremely low-cost entry point for retailers looking to improve their shelf-edge merchandising. There is no need to buy servers, install and configure software, or set up printers. In addition, the time and costs associated with the purchase, management, and storage of replacement supplies is eliminated. AccessVia and Xerox provide a complete package of software, services, and printers needed to operate an enterprise-wide shelf-edge signage system.

AccessVia Managed Print Services for the Shelf-Edge includes:

  • AccessVia Web dSignShop SaaS for in-store printing of shelf-edge signs and labels.
  • An in-store network-enabled color printer configured to meet performance and productivity requirements.
  • Cloud-based software providing proactive printer supplies management for genuine Xerox® consumables, and full support and in-store maintenance of the Xerox® printer

Retailers can choose the best Xerox® printing solution from a broad portfolio of high performance desktop Solid Ink and Laser color printers and MFPs. An ideal example is the new Xerox® ColorQube 8870, which allows retailers to produce stylish, attention grabbing in-store signage—even on recycled paper—at a surprisingly low cost per page. And because it uses solid ink, you can be sure it’s much kinder to the environment, too. Less waste, intelligent energy use and the latest green technology—all in a fast, efficient color printer.

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.
