The company launched in Vancouver, B.C. in 2001, taking on Walmart Canada as their first major photo site client in 2002. From 2003-2007, the company also provided its software platform for photo sites for Costco Canada, Blacks, Chapters, Loblaws and others.
PNI then expanded into the US marketplace by licensing its software platform to CVS Health (then CVS/pharmacy), Costco and Sam’s Club, among other retailers.
As of February 2017, PNI also licenses its software platform to retailers such as Staples, Staples Canada, Tesco, FedEx Office and Quill.
History
PNI Digital Media was formerly known as PhotoChannel Networks Inc., and the name was officially changed in June 2009.

Commencing July 14, 2015, the online photo centres for Walmart Canada, CVS, Costco, and Rite Aid, all operated by PNI, were probing credit card breaches. After being down for several weeks, the photo sites began to be re-launched in September 2015, rebuilt with enhanced security measures.
