LabImages Software, a leading e-commerce provider serving more than 2,500 professional photographers and photo labs, announced its system will be integrated with SoftWorks System Inc.’s Remote Order Entry System (ROES). ROES is the most popular and seamless method for professional photo labs to receive professional photographer and/or consumer orders over the Internet. LabImages is a division of MorePhotos.
Combined with LabImages, ROES will provide professional photo labs a fully transactional, branded Internet storefront from which to accept online orders directly from photographers and consumers with no apparent middlemen. Photo labs using the new LabImages/ROES system enjoy complete control over all aspects of the online operation, including proofing options, uploading, maintenance and pricing. The end result is that photo labs provide greater convenience and faster service to their valuable customers.
“Digital became a leap forward in streamlining the photography process,” said Michael Connor, president and CEO of LabImages and MorePhotos. “However, many photographers still waste valuable time traveling to and from photo labs for image manipulations and printing. It’s our job at LabImages to offer options such as ROES to streamline the progression from snap to print.”
With LabImages and ROES behind the scenes, photo lab customers begin with online proofing of their photos, crop and edit if needed, select size and quantities of prints, and submit print orders with payment via the Internet. The software is designed so that the entire process is quick and easy, and customers experience high satisfaction rates with the photo lab.
To meet the needs of varying types of photo lab businesses, LabImages offers three types of software. Two types of software are offered to photo labs as add-ons to existing web sites. A third type is proprietary software developed by SoftWorks System, Inc. for photo labs with more unique requirements. The system operates on both Windows and Macs.
SoftWorks Systems Inc. has found remarkable success with ROES’ ability to reduce the amount of effort needed to fulfill photography orders. In 2004, ROES was voted favorite online ordering system in a poll of readers of Photographic Processing Magazine.
