Phoenix Kiosk has just added the VIGIX retail solution to its product line. The kiosks feature proprietary, no-moving-parts dispensing technology and simple resupply via common carriers, including UPS and FedEx, according to a press release. They can sell physical goods ranging from 24 cell-phone sized boxes to DVD-sized envelopes, as well as wireless downloads of music, movies and information.
The VIGIX kiosks need only 2 square feet of floor space, about the same as a standing person, and can go against a wall or in the middle of a room.
According to Phoenix, the kiosks cost less than half as much as competitive equipment, and operating costs are significantly lower due to elimination of labor, lower rent and almost zero shrinkage.
From a central location, the VIGIX web-based control system provides real-time sales and inventory reporting. Changes in pricing, product assortment, and all user interface content can be deployed remotely from the control system.
