Interactive Late Movie List
A new interactive system has been developed to help you with your
late movie list. This automated system builds a list of customers
with late movies (outstanding) and organizes them on a grid. Your
clerk could then make the calls to these customers reminding them of
their late movies. What’s unique about this system is that it
allows you to maintain notes about the customer and the information
regarding the last contact.
This removes the headache of calling the same customer day after
day when no call is necessary. For instance, when the customer tells
your clerk he will bring in the movies on Thursday (3 days from
now). This will help prevent subsequent calls and annoying the
customer.
The grid offers a hot button to the customer’s late item
information that shows the titles, date checked out, due dates, and
days late. An email icon is available for each customer with valid
email address that will start an email to the customer.
Subscription Plans
A new system has been developed for retailers that wish to engage
in subscription pricing. This system allows for multiple
subscription plans and is configurable for the types of rental
products (genre, category, so on), maximum units out at a time, tax
rate, and selling price.
These plans are sold right at the transaction screen and rentals
may be applied at the same time as the subscription plan purchase. A
new “Mode” has been created to identify the rentals going out on
a subscription plan “Subs”. The End of Day report will indicate
the number of subscription plans sold and the number of rentals on
subscription plans for the day.
Two new reports were created for this system: a renewal report
and a utilizations report. The renewal report will provide you a
list of customers whose subscription plan expires for a given range.
This will be used for the monthly renewal type of subscription
plans. The utilization report will provide information on how each
subscription plan is performing over a given time frame.
To list the full integration of this feature into Phoenix is
beyond the scope of this document and more information can be
obtained through your representative.
Secure Terminal (Cash Drawer)
This new feature adds another layer of security on your cash
drawers. When turned on, this feature will only allow the clerk that
opened a cash drawer to utilize that station and will prevent clerk
“A” from using clerk “B”’s work station. A new employee
privilege has been added for your managers to override this setting
enabling them to work on any station [Override Secure Terminal].
New Customer Editor Buttons
Two new buttons have been added to the customer editor screen:
view rented inventory and view customer AR. Now when you are
reviewing a customer, at the editor, you have the full range of
information to make your decisions.
Game Ratings
The ESRB ratings have been added to the rating table and the
minimum rating age checking systems.
("E"/"Every*" = 6+,
"T"/"TEEN*" = 13+,
"M"/"Mature*" = 17+,
"A"/"AO"/"Adult*" = 18+).
Rental Sales Tax Code
A new sales tax code has been added for your rental product
during a sale. This will accommodate the regions that have a
different rental and sales tax on rental product. Now you will be
able to sell your rental product without moving it to the
merchandise database.
Void and Void No Penalty Privilege
This release of Phoenix has modified the Void and Void No Penalty
functions during the return of a late rental item and looks at the
privilege “Transaction – Delete ADR Fee” to allow or deny the
function. In addition, a Manager Override login screen has been
added so that a manager, with the privilege, can quickly login (in
stream) to delete the ADR. The AR delete feature has been
modified to require only the delete ADR flag to perform the delete.
Previously the global delete privilege was required in addition to
the delete ADR flag.
Package Price Function Key
A new assignable function key, at transactions, has been added
for the Package Pricing feature.
Additional Customer Info Transactions
The customer life number and life dollars spent at your store is
now displayed when the customer is scanned at the transaction
screen.
Audit History ADR Delete
The description line for ADR deletes, in the audit history area,
has been modified to include customer name and ID number.
Reservations
A new column for the rental product format has been added to the
reservation section. Also, you now may edit the notes that are
placed on a reservation.
Inventory Out Screen
A new function to copy the displayed list of rented items to the
Windows clipboard is now available.
ADR Labeling
Changed the labeling on the batch check-in screen to
“Automatically assign ADR fee”.
Station Number Assignment
The user can now assign the station number by setting a value in
the operational control section.
Employee E-mail Function
A new employee (interoffice) email system has been created to
allow communication to other employees within the Phoenix system.
This is in-office email only.
These features are available through our upgrade program. Contact
your representative today to put these powerful tools to work for
you (800) 922-4556.
