Kiosks to help renters find and lease apartments
January 31, 2008
TEMPE, Ariz. — The days of filling out paper rental applications and visiting countless apartments to find an acceptable floor plan are nearing an end. Sequoia Equities Inc., using hardware designed and provided Phoenix Kiosk Inc., has completed a statewide deployment of self-service kiosks to its various communities throughout California. The kiosks enable apartment hunters to view area information (including school ratings), utilize interactive floor plans and a 3-D community map, and electronically reserve an apartment home while in the leasing center. Current residents can fill out a service request, provide online feedback and pay rent online using the new kiosks. "Combining the ability to fill out a leasing application and review the floor plans of units available in a rental property save both the renter and the Sequoia staff member valuable time," said L. Alan Work, CEO of Phoenix Kiosk Inc. "The units also hold printed marketing materials and business cards, making them both a powerful interactive marketing tool and a great time-saver."
