A VMS alternative can help ecommerce sellers address rising per-video costs, short retention periods or desktop installation problems. Sellers usually start looking for a VMS alternative for one of four reasons: the per-video bill keeps growing, videos are deleted before a dispute arrives, desktop software gets blocked by IT or antivirus, or they do not want customer data on someone else’s cloud. If any of those sound familiar, here is a practical way to switch while keeping packing operations running. Sellers usually start looking for a VMS alternative for one of four reasons: the per-video bill keeps growing, videos are deleted before a dispute arrives, the desktop software keeps getting blocked by IT or antivirus, or they don’t want customer data on someone else’s cloud. If any of those sound familiar, here is how to switch without missing a single order.
Signs it’s time to switch
- Your VMS invoice rises every sale season
- You’ve lost a claim because the video had already expired
- Recording stops when credits run out
- Only one PC can record because the licence is tied to it
- Your IT team won’t approve the installer on new machines
Switching to ClaimVMS in one day
- Book a demo and get your login the same day
- Open ClaimVMS in a browser on each packing PC — nothing to install
- Choose a storage folder or drive on your system for videos
- Run both tools for a few days if you want overlap, then stop the old one
- Export or download old videos you still need from your previous VMS before its plan ends
- Brief packers on the scan-pack-seal routine (it takes minutes)
What changes after you switch
Before (typical per-video VMS) | After (ClaimVMS) |
Bill rises with orders | One flat yearly price, from ₹5,000 |
Videos deleted after plan days | You keep videos as long as you like |
Footage on vendor cloud | Footage on your own system |
Desktop install per PC | Browser on any PC + Android app |
Credits to monitor | Unlimited videos |
Don’t forget your old footage
Before you cancel any previous VMS, download the videos for recent orders that could still be disputed. Once a cloud plan ends, those files may be deleted.
