How JML secures telephone card payments and achieves PCI DSS compliance across their contact centre with Vidicode UK's Apresa recording solution
Founded in 1986 by John Mills and now a global operation, JML was once a small family company that developed through consumer exhibitions with exciting live demonstrations of innovative products. Over the last two decades, the company has grown into a household name, one of the nation’s favourite brands and a world leader in retail screen promotions and TV home shopping.
With ambitious plans for further rapid growth, JML’s diverse range of products can be found on virtually every high street and in many of the biggest retailers throughout the UK and Ireland. The company’s international distribution is expanding rapidly with a presence in over 70 countries worldwide.
JML required a PCI DSS compliant call recorder for their contact centre, which handles customer service and inbound sales calls processing telephone card payments.
The Vidicode UK Apresa recording solution proved to be the optimal choice after months of reviewing possible products. The company needed a solution that was easy to configure, where agents could mute calls when reaching a “Payment Page”, ensuring no card details were ever recorded.
Additionally, JML required the ability to use DTMF codes to manually “unmute” the recording option in real-time whilst staying on the call, providing flexibility for agents during complex customer interactions.

Vidicode UK implemented the Apresa call recording system with integrated PCI DSS compliance features, enabling JML agents to pause recording automatically when processing card payments whilst maintaining complete call records for customer service quality.
The solution provides flexible mute/unmute functionality through DTMF codes, ensuring no cardholder data is captured whilst allowing agents to resume recording seamlessly during the same call for complete customer interaction documentation.
