VSM is a multi-faceted business tool ideal for any organization with retail sales operations.
Every aspect of a retail environment can benefit from the implementation of Virtual Site Manager. The software 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.
