Description
NEW: Prodep Diligence is now offered in a COACHING version.
More affordable and less demanding, the COACHING version is ideal for retailers who are too busy to implement the method on their own but aware that they must improve their operations at all costs to prevent the sale of tobacco to minors and avoid hefty fines.
Here’s how it works:
- In the regular version, the retailer orders the Prodep kit, learns how to use it and applies the method in his store.
- In the COACHING version, the retailer follows the step-by-step instructions of a Coach to implement the method in-store.
- The Coach provides the retailer with only one task to complete at a time and when done, at the retailer’s pace, he goes on to the next step until the method is fully implemented and this, over a maximum period of time of one year.
- The retailer does not receive a binder, forms or any other papers but electronic files as and when it is needed. It is up to him to print the documents if necessary.
- The Coaching is valid for one year after which the retailer should be able to easily operate the system alone. He can always renew the agreement if necessary.
About the Prodep method:
Prodep Diligence is the first complete solution aimed at helping retailers to avoid fines stemming from the sale of tobacco, alcohol, lottery and other 18+ products to minors by reducing the risk of conviction in case of an offense and improving the age verification management process.
According to Section 14 of the Quebec Tobacco Act, “no penalty may be imposed on a defendant who shows that a reasonable effort was made to verify the age of the person.”
To this end, Prodep Diligence offers a complete range of tools to install a near than perfect age verification in-store procedure and in an equally important way, to accumulate evidence of such high-quality management in case of a trial following an offense.
Contrary to the current industry practices of using some or a few different procedures, Prodep Diligence combines all aspects of due diligence into a simplified, comprehensive and integrated approach.
The operator is thus in greater control, less monopolized and better protected.
A completely redesigned approach
To prevent the sale to minors, the innovative concept of Prodep Diligence operates at 7 different levels and proposes 12 safeguards that are easy to implement thanks to the tools offered. In the event of an offense, the retailer will benefit from an abundance of evidence that demonstrate a superior and advanced due diligence process which should help secure an acquittal verdict.
