Discover how LottoShield seamlessly integrates with PDI Enterprise to automate lottery tracking, invoicing, and reconciliation.
Lottery isn’t just a business. It’s a retail powerhouse that drives repeat visits, attracts foot traffic, and boosts margins. But without the right tools, it can quickly become a burden. Managers get stuck in paperwork, manual entries, and outdated audits that eat away at productivity.
Spending entire afternoons balancing numbers from lottery cases and vending machines isn’t just time-consuming. Each manual step increases the chances of error and opens the door for theft to go unnoticed. That’s real money lost–and a risk no retailer can afford.
This is where PDI and LottoShield come together. By combining PDI’s enterprise-grade POS and store management software with LottoShield’s advanced lottery tracking platform, retailers can operate more efficiently and protect their lottery operations with greater confidence.
With the new LottoShield’s and PDI partnership, retailers can streamline operations, strengthen oversight, and maximize profits.
Trusted by thousands of stores across the United States, LottoShield integrates directly with state lottery reporting systems and Point of Sale (POS) platforms. It delivers unmatched visibility and control while fitting seamlessly into existing workflows–reducing shrink and cutting hours of manual reconciliation.
LottoShield was designed to tackle the toughest challenges of lottery management. Here’s what you gain when you integrate it with PDI Enterprise:
LottoShield connects directly to state lottery systems, automatically importing activations, returns, and daily sales into PDI through SIIMPS profiles. This ensures accurate and consistent data flow across all stores.
LottoShield fits into PDI Enterprise like a missing puzzle piece. The system plugs in without the need for store-level training. Setup takes only a few hours, with no workflow disruption or lengthy transition period. With more than 200 multi-site rollouts completed in under two weeks, the process is proven, fast, and hassle-free.
Time-consuming tasks like printing reports and manually entering data into spreadsheets are eliminated. LottoShield auto-fills activations, returns, and daily sales into PDI’s DR forms, saving managers 30 minutes or more each shift while reducing errors and minimizing theft risk.
What once required six hours a week now takes just five minutes. LottoShield automates the entire invoice lifecycle, from weekly reconciliations to price book updates. It verifies state charges against activations and settlements, keeping financial data clean, consistent, and always audit-ready.
Lottery vending machines are often a blind spot. LottoShield closes that gap by giving managers full visibility into vending machine activity. It matches reported sales with cash deposits, flags discrepancies instantly, and prevents manipulation. Managers can snap a photo of the vending machine report and LottoShield parses the data automatically. The system also monitors activity down to the shift and game level, including cash removed from the machine.
LottoShield’s cloud-based investigation portal flags shortages within 24 hours. Managers can see exactly when and how an issue occurred. A built-in audit tool tracks every pack with searchable sales, activations, and audits–reducing investigation time by over 90 percent. Irregularities are flagged immediately so they can be resolved quickly.
LottoShield’s integration with PDI Enterprise is straightforward, backed by a support team of industry veterans who understand PDI systems, compliance quirks, and operational challenges. With SIIMPS profile integration, implementation is quick–often just a few hours per site.
Lottery is a revenue stream that thrives on accuracy, automation, and visibility–not guesswork. With LottoShield connected to PDI Enterprise, retailers gain the highest standard of control and efficiency while safeguarding their bottom line.
The setup is quick, adoption is simple, and the payoff is immediate. Built for the realities of large-scale lottery retail, LottoShield and PDI together make lottery management smarter, safer, and more profitable.
