Adding More Functionality to an Already Successful Solution
CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Source Technologies, a leading provider of transactional and interactive self-service kiosks, announced an exciting new layaway addition to its existing bill payment kiosk solution. This new functionality allows retail shoppers to browse available products including those that may not be in inventory at their current store location, select an item, place the item on layaway and make payments toward the layaway item all from the convenience of a single kiosk located within the retail store. This layaway kiosk eliminates the need for shoppers to search the aisles for product or wait in line to make a deposit or payment toward their layaway selections. It also allows retailers to accommodate layaway shoppers’ product selections while reserving inventory items for purchasers, freeing up valuable retail floor space and giving retailers an advantageous forecasting tool.
“Our bill payment kiosks are readily accepted by consumers as a quick, convenient way to pay their bills. Expanding the solution to include a layaway option gives the shopper and the retailer more options to engage, ultimately converting more shoppers into purchasers”
With thousands of bill payment kiosks installed that currently process more than ten million transactions, representing an excess of one billion dollars annually, Source Technologies’ bill payment kiosk solutions have already revolutionized consumer bill payment at retail locations throughout the United States. Now, this award-winning bill payment solution is the platform of choice for the resurging popularity of layaway payment options at retail locations worldwide. “Our bill payment kiosks are readily accepted by consumers as a quick, convenient way to pay their bills. Expanding the solution to include a layaway option gives the shopper and the retailer more options to engage, ultimately converting more shoppers into purchasers,” offered Sarah Burkhart, Director of Product Marketing. “Empowered shoppers can place select items for layaway or make payments toward layaway items while employees are free to focus on more complex transactions or ring up today’s purchasers.”
