Retailers can use RBM to centrally manage their Kodak Picture Kiosk network to maximize equipment availability, increase profitability, and enhance the consumer experience.
Kodak, the world's largest retail photo kiosk provider, has more than 80,000 Picture Kiosks installed at retail locations worldwide. The Picture Kiosks provide self-service lab quality prints in seconds.
Key retailers around the world who own and operate Kodak equipment are already installing and benefiting from Esprida software.
