KIS gets go-ahead for 300 more USPS HR kiosks

February 23, 2004

LOUISVILLE, Colo. -- Kiosk Information Systems (KIS) will produce and support additional human resources information kiosks for the U.S. Postal Service's "Personnel Central Kiosks (PCK)" initiative under a follow-up contract recently completed.

In the first phase of the project completed in 2003, KIS produced 310 KT-125 kiosks, which were deployed in postal distribution centers nationwide. The new contract calls for 300 more units, according to a news release.

Postal Service employees without computer access in their work environments use the kiosks to perform basic human resources tasks, including keeping track of benefits and viewing paycheck stubs. A privacy filter on the monitor enables workers to securely access personal information, the release stated.

KIS partner Netkey Inc. provides software support for the project, which includes an integrated collaborative database developed specifically for the U.S. Postal Service by KIS. Netkey's software allows for management and updating of kiosks from a single desktop.

"The PCK project with the USPS demonstrates the important contribution kiosks make to the efficient delivery of human resources services to large workforces," said KIS President Rick Malone. "Kiosks are the preferred solution for companies seeking to extend HR services to dispersed employee populations."
