J&J Ventures in conjunction with System Development Services has spent two years developing, testing and utilizing a powerful new amusement route management software called Amusement SMART (Service Management & Amusement Route Tracking). We initially debuted this product at the 2012 Amusement Expo and it has been well received by all that have viewed the demonstration. Operator input from the expo led to many of the advancements in version 3.5 which includes prize percentage alerts for all your merchandising and redemption games as well as many other features.

Our  reasons for taking on this endeavor were:

• None of the existing products offered did an adequate job of handling collections in a manner that reflects the way our industry has evolved. This includes non-cashbox revenue that comes from mobile, player account or credit card income or the multiple fees associated with our equipment in today’s market. Amusement SMART handles this by using templates that exactly reflect what the collector will see on the machine’s bookkeeping screen and applies the various splits to each item independently based on machine or location.  

• Better handling of your own company, location or machine specific fees. You can create your own programs for various items such as broadband, licenses, or special items such as fees for support equipment, etc. The flexibility is endless as these items can be set with start/stop dates, maximum cap limits, time based by time intervals of your choice as well as where these fees go such as operator, location or third party. This feature alone has allowed us to recapture funds in areas where we felt we had previously been paying more than our share.

• No proprietary equipment required. We are not trying to resell hardware. You can use any Windows based laptops or tablets for your collections. Hardware savings alone are as much as 60% even when buying all new equipment. Think of the savings if you already have Windows based laptops or tablets. Need a replacement and you simply head down to the local computer outlet and pick one up.

• No user or network fees. We don’t charge extra software fees when you have or add multiple offices, staff, collectors or devices to your system. In fact multiple offices can be viewed in real time and your only additional expense would be firewall hardware or software to keep your network secure if you don’t already have this.

• Minimal learning curve. Some systems I have used required extensive training at both the office staff and the collector level. This has made it difficult when vacations or unexpected absences occur. Amusement SMART is intuitive at all user levels.

• Remote sync capabilities for your collectors. No proprietary docking equipment needed. Your collectors can sync data from home or anywhere they have an Internet connection by accessing the system through your office firewall. If a collector should need to update their data while on the road they can simply go to any location with Internet access, including McDonalds and sync up within minutes.

• There are many more features such as service call tracking, sales contact tracking and much, much more.

We are currently testing an optional module for Amusement SMART called SMART Rewards. This will allow you to develop and manage your own player or location rewards program. You can use this function to promote player involvement in leagues and tournaments, mobile jukebox play, setting up player accounts in various programs and more. At the location level you can reward locations for juke box mobile nights, league participation, placement of operator signage or whatever ideas you may have.

I can’t tell you how many times I have struggled to get a slightly better operator deal for various items only to have a collector forget to apply the appropriate program which in many cases forced me to lose the better deal that I worked so hard to sell. License fees and other fee items have always been an issue that brings up the locations ire and even in some cases has them looking for another operator. Let me show you how we have alleviated this problem and are collecting more revenue at the same time.  In short: Get your money. Keep your money. Keep your locations.

I would love the opportunity to show you how this system truly will generate more revenue for your business in addition to just making your collections and administrative tasks easier. CALL SAM WESTGATE TODAY at 618-384-9453 to set up your own private web  demo.
