When deploying and managing multiple kiosks, especially kiosks over a broad range of geographic locations, remote kiosk management is an essential tool for maximizing your resources. Some features of kiosk management software include usage statistics, remote monitoring of kiosk health, managing kiosk content, and kiosk grouping.
Reporting on Kiosk Data – Big Data for Kiosks
KioWare makes reporting easy. Share your kiosk data using KioWare’s standard reports or create custom reports with only the data you want to share. For instance, reports can be shared with the relevant departments to improve user conversions by analyzing user paths (the most common paths being taken by users.
Monitoring your Kiosks Remotely
Given the importance of kiosk availability, remote monitoring via KioWare Server can be an essential tool for ensuring kiosk uptime. KioWare Server sends email notifications when kiosks miss heartbeats or experience a status change (depending on your settings and the severity of the event), allowing you to quickly ascertain the device’s issue. You can view the health (via kiosk heartbeats) of all of your kiosks via a status overview page, enabling you to have a bird’s eye view of all of your kiosks with one dashboard. This provides peace of mind with one quick glance and allows you to minimize downtime and efficiently tend to temporary kiosk health issues without an on-site visit.
Group Kiosks for Easy Remote Kiosk Management
Group management of kiosks allows you to manage kiosk settings, stats, and content by categories/groups of your creation. You can group the kiosks by region, performance, or other segmenting that you determine necessary. This allows you to customize content and settings to optimize conversions and satisfaction amongst users.
