Network Management System

Play N Trade partnered with Teamwork Retail founder and CEO Michael Mauerer – also founder and architect of Retail Pro and original leader of QuickBooks POS at Intuit Corp. - in order to be on a competitive technological footing with any retailer in the world.

Play N Trade’s proprietary network management system is designed to include such features as point-of-sale, retail merchandising, inventory forecasting, marketing, real-time sales reporting, and customer relationship management. The programs work seamlessly together both for Play N Trade corporate as well as for the single or multiunit franchise owner.

Among other features the system also allows our product team to stream up-to-the-minute pricing recommendations for used and new games as well as trade-ins. The POS has numerous titles listed with suggested trade-in and resale pricing that is constantly updated. The technology also allows us to merge advanced Web functions with standard programs.

Digital Signage

Displayed behind every Play N Trade checkout counter, our Digital Advertising system is a combination of amazing game trailers, National Tournament Ads, Pre-Order reminders, and local promotions.  Franchisees can also create custom made slides with local specials and advertisements to target their walk in customers.  Play N Trade’s marketing and graphic art departments create visually stimulating ads and editable templates that drive sales and create a consistent shopping experience in every Play N Trade location.

Franchisee Website

The purpose of Play N Trade’s retail website at www.playntrade.com is to drive customers back to their local store.  Each Play N Trade location manages their own customizable page, creating blog entries, tournament announcements, deals, and promotions.  Customers set their store of preference and can stay in constant communication with their local Play N Trade.

Resource Tools

Online content Management

We provide our franchisees an extensive online library of both digital creative assets and tools. Franchisees are able to modify, download, and print professionally designed graphics for promotion of their business. Collateral pieces include fliers, door-hangers, postcards, bag-stuffers, and mailers. Tools available include guides, HR resources, forms, walk-through videos, and preferred vender contacts.

Buyback Module

We provide a web-based consumer electronic buyback module for both consumers and our franchisees. The consumer-facing site allows the customer to value their asset, and then drives them into the store to redeem store credit and make purchases at the store. The franchisee-facing site allows franchisees to sell their  consumer electronic trade-ins back to the PNT Support center for more than they bought them from their customer for, handling the entire transaction through the web portal.
