CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Source Technologies, provider of integrated solutions for managing financial transactions and other secure business processes, announced in a news release the debut of the CONCOURSE 3-Series kiosk platform. The 3-Series is the first kiosk featuring Source Technologies' modular "head and shoulders" design.
The 3-Series is deployable in a variety of configurations; as a wall-mount kiosk using just the head module, as a tabletop by adding the shoulders, or free-standing with the base module. This allows companies to use the same kiosk for a variety of applications and environments. "A modular platform gives banks and retailers greater flexibility, especially where floor space is at a premium," said Bill Lynch, vice president of self service for Source Technologies. "It also lowers ownership costs because devices, components, even CPUs are standardized."
Modularity also dramatically cuts deployment and service costs. Each module can ship via UPS and be assembled with limited technical skill. In addition, a module can be easily replaced or upgraded in the field without the usual complexity.
