Signifi wants to shake-up self-service with The Gamer

May 3, 2013

The automated retail technology company Signifi Solutions today announced a product that it says will shake up the self-service industry – the Gamer Spot Shop.

The Gamer is a vending kiosk specifically for the video game market. The Gamer's touchscreen enables users to flip through titles, check out and collect their games in seconds, the announcement said. Users can also pre-pay and reserve online, guaranteeing priority pick-up at the Gamer for new releases.

The kiosk also collects analytical data, giving deployers instant sales figures and trends, telling them when they need to stock, what titles are particularly popular and which ones are losing traction, according to the announcement.

"This creates a rich information bank that will let you know what kind of games you should buy for any particular kiosk, in any location you might have," said Signifi's VP of Business Development, Tom Hall, on the benefits of analytics. "You are able to track all kinds of movement in shifts in the gaming realm. You can't put a dollar figure on the value of that kind of data. It gives a significant edge in the market."
