Hospitality
Technology is not only aiding the re-opening of establishments, but will ensure that they stay open. Visitor management and self-service kiosk solutions are at the forefront of technology in hospitality.
Interactive kiosk solutions dramatically improve and aid visitor management, efficient check-ins, ordering food and drinks, adhering to track and trace requirements and can collect invaluable data and feedback from customers.
Events
The events industry has been hit hard by the coronavirus and, since events are a proven vehicle for spreading the virus, the future of the industry was uncertain but now show clear signs of re-opening, eventually to full capacity.
Kiosks are incredibly beneficial in high-risk environments. Interactive kiosk technology can lower the risk and increase the efficiency in travel, visitor management, staff clocking in, registration and digital signage.
Travel
Global travel will return, but the way we travel will be considerably different to what we are used to. Technology allows us to adapt to a ‘new normal’, with frictionless and health conscious devices at every step of the way.
Currently, interactive kiosks are at the forefront of the changes at airports and docks, border control, arrivals and departures and during flights. Going forward, we predict a surge in biometric enrolment, prior to the day of travel. This technological development is already well under way and applied in various scenarios.
Retail
Our expertly designed kiosks solutions help reduce the inevitable anxiety, ensuring both, shoppers and staff, feel confident and protected. Bonus: the kiosks also drive-forward businesses by increasing efficiency and encouraging more sales.
Kiosk technology can assist and improve multiple steps in the retail user journey, such as visitor management, self-service and contactless payments, efficient click & collect and socially distanced terminals.
Education
Interactive Kiosk Solutions improve efficiency, safety and engagement in education settings, from primary school classrooms to university libraries.
Not only do kiosks propel business and aid effective learning, they also safeguard the institution with various health and safety measures, which has never been more important than returning to the classroom after lockdown.
Examples of kiosk users are producing photo IDs on the spot for visitors, supporting administration with accurate data, engaging students in learning and digital signage.
Visitor Management & Access Control
Access management will play a major role in business and society, today and going forward. Implementing effective access control will help stop the spread of viruses, increase security and enhance the efficiency of businesses.
It’s overwhelmingly apparent that we need greater and more advanced control systems and we are dedicated to designing products that empower business agility and security.
