Once the product selection has been fully defined, the Select Service screen displays the available fulfillment options. You can configure the APM to provide up to three fulfillment options. Each fulfillment can provide different products, prices, and features based on the capabilities of your lab and your business objectives. The options and text within the buttons can be customized in the Setup Wizard (See Chapter 6).
**Note: If the product selected is only configured under one service type, then this screen will be skipped and you will be taken directly to the thumbnail screen to begin selecting images for the selected product.
The three fulfillments in the software were originally designed around three standard types of order pickup options. However, you can configure your APM based on the printing capabilities offered by your facility, and you are not restricted to using these fulfillments in the way in which they are presented here. For more information on fulfillment configuration, please see Chapter 6.
Select Service Screen
Fulfillment #1 (Express): Designed to offer prints of one or two commons sizes (e.g. 4x6 and 5x7), printed to an express/dye-sublimation printer while the customer waits.
Fulfillment #2 (Pickup): Designed for prints and creative products that are available for next day pick-up by the customer. Using this option, you can have customers return to the store or to another remote location to pick up their photos.
Fulfillment #3 (Mail Delivery): Design for prints and creative products that may be processed at your photo lab, an associated remote lab, or at a central fulfillment lab that is part of Lucidiom’s network. To choose a fulfillment option, simply press the panel for the service desired. This will take you to the ordering options for the product you have selected, or the thumbnail screen to choose images for the product you wish to create.
**Note: Once you choose the fulfillment option, certain workflows may no longer be available after placing the item in the shopping cart. This is due to the fact that the products in a different workflow may not be configured for the selected fulfillment.
