German real estate center deploys NCR kiosks for property searches

December 19, 2013

The Volksbank Jever real estate center in Germany has recently deployed a hardware, software and services solution by NCR Corporation that aims to simplify the property search process, according to a news release.

The solution consists of the NCR SelfServ 85 kiosk with a large touchscreen and newly developed custom software by the NCR team in Germany. The software is specifically tailored to the online databases of cooperative, savings and private banks, and can be activated for display on the NCR kiosk.

The NCR kiosk replaces previous paper advertisements and provides customers with an interactive tool that enables them to discover property offers, select town districts on a map, zoom in on images, scan QR codes and save object details on their mobile devices. Additionally they can leave their contact details for further information or for a personal consultation.

"Previously, our real estate section used to take up the whole room, meaning that we had no space left for consulting. Likewise it was a real challenge for customers to get an overview of current offers," said Holger Eden, marketing manager responsible for the Volksbank property center. "The NCR kiosk solution makes it a lot easier for our customers to go about their real estate searches. Offers are clearly displayed on the touchscreen and it is intuitive to use. At the same time, it has a truly modern appearance and enables a better advisory experience."
