Kiosk Management Tools to Manage Your Devices
Managing your kiosks can be time consuming and logistically challenging. Utilize KioWare Kiosk Management solutions to keep track of your kiosk health, deploy content to all or some of your kiosks, and monitor kiosk usage stats.
Kiosk Management consists of two components: the client side kiosk software and the browser-based server console. The client side kiosk software (KioWare Full for Windows or KioWare Full for Android) runs locally on the machine to secure the device, and the server console (KioCloud, KioWare Server, or KioWare Server ASP) is used to interact with and provide reports for the secured devices.
Select a Kiosk Management Option
KioWare Server is a self-hosted solution installed within your network environment, configured in conjunction with a SQL Server or MySQL database. KioWare Server provides you with flexible kiosk management options. Available via a perpetual license. Supports one site.
With KioCloud, we manage the technical kiosk server hosting for you, allowing you to get started quickly and focus on managing your kiosks, not your kiosk server. A subscription is required, offering flexibility of a quarterly or annual billing schedule. Supports one site per subscription.
