Retail Revolution

for iPads in business, apps are the real driver

Bouncepad produces a range of enclosures that allow businesses to install tablet computers in public spaces in a secure, smart and playful way.

Just the Job

Kiosks to Help People Back to Work

In the wake of the recession, unemployment is still a major issue, for the UK as for many other European countries. But the economy is picking up, albeit gradually, and a new scheme has been set up to help the long-term unemployed re-enter the job market. This scheme takes advantage of bespoke kiosk technology which match job-seekers to vacancies.
 
New kiosks have been developed as part of a collaboration between two UK companies, and are being deployed as part of the UK Government’s Welfare to Work programme.

A Spoonful of Sugar

Following quickly on the heels of consumer excitement, more and more companies are looking for ways to integrate tablets, such as the extremely successful iPad, into their business as a way of increasing efficiency and enhancing the customer experience.

Is self-service a challenge to service quality?

Markus Dierkes examines the relationship between service quality and self-service solutions.
 
If your customers perceive that the service they are receiving is good, your turnover will increase. Satisfied customers remain loyal, purchase more, return more frequently and, above all, recommend a company to others. There’s no better form of advertising.
 

What the Doctor Ordered

Many media outlets called 2011 'the year of the tablet.' Having experienced the dramatic rise of tablets for personal use, what role might tablets play in the future of the kiosk industry? Will there be a market for Public Access Tablets?
