Below is a preview of just a few of the features that will be available in Video Vision Plus version 5.2 due out on general release during June 2003.
Note: the purchase price of Video Vision Plus includes 12 months of free upgrades - any customers purchasing between now and the release of version 5.2 will be entitled to upgrade from version 5.1 to 5.2 when it becomes available.
- Customer Wishlists - Video Vision Plus
allows customer 'wishlists' of titles the customer would like to see
to be maintained. This allows quick viewing of availability for any
titles the customer is interested in when they initially enter the store.
This feature will be most powerful when Video Vision Plus is used in
conjunction with Video Vision InStore or Video Vision Online which allow
the customer to view and maintain their own wishlist.
- Cash Drawer Reconciliation - One of the most requested features for version 5.2 - Video Vision Plus now allows cash drawer sessions to be created and maintained flexibly throughout the day. Features include cash float drops, cash pickups, session close reconciliation summary, full reporting of all sessions from the past week, and reporting of all users active during a given session along with the percentage of total session activity attributable to each user.
- Fraud Checks - On entering a new customer
in Video Vision Plus all the key details are compared against those
held for other customers and if any matches are found an alert is given
with full details of the matches found, allowing further checks to made
before the customer is accepted. This feature is designed to detect
customers with large amounts outstanding late fees who try to simply
re-join the store with slightly different details instead of paying
the account balance.
- Matrix Pricing - rental pricing is not restricted to a single time and rental price - a matrix may be configured for each Rental Category which allows different prices to be set for different rental periods. When an item is rented a quick to use rental time dialog is presented to allow selection of the appropriate price band for the rental in question.
- New Release Emails - The latest addition
to the Video Vision Email functionality is the most impressive yet.
The program allows you to design and send an impressive New Release
mail shot email promoting the titles of your choice to all customers
who have email addresses specified in their details with the minimum
of effort.

- Stock Reorder Levels - Video Vision Plus further lifts the burden of stock management by allowing reorder levels to be specified for each saleable product in your database - when stock inventory hits the reorder level Video Vision Plus automatically gives a reorder needed alert removing the need for time consuming manual stock checks.
- Prepaid Store Credits - this feature extends the prepaid Rental functionality to allow a specified amount of store credit to be given for a prepaid price - for instance $40 of store rental credit can be given for a prepaid price of $30. When a customer with a prepaid credit makes a transaction, a prompt is given asking if it should be redeemed against the prepaid balance. If accepted, the prepaid credits balance is automatically reduced by the rental price of the item.
- Early Return Credits - Video Vision Plus allows the configuration of Early Return Credits which award either Frequent Rental Points or an account credit to be awarded if an item is returned early by a specified amount of time - for instance a credit of $1 can automatically be applied to a customer's account if a New Release which would normally be rented for 2 days is returned a day early.
- Refunds - If the user has the appropriate user privileges, refunds of individual rentals or sales can be made for defective products, damaged movies, etc.
- Custom Toolbar Setup - The main Video Vision Plus toolbar can now be configured by user - this allows any buttons not used by a given staff member to be removed from view, simplifying program use yet further.
- Approved Renter Membership Cards - Membership cards can not only be printed for the main member but can also be printed for Approved Renters. As well as showing the approved renter's name and the main customer's name, these cards may show the approved renter's photo if required.
- And much, much more besides!...
