Digital signage software developed by Concord, ON based Omnivex is being used to manage photo kiosks located in hotels and at tourist attractions across the United States.
Omnivex’s software platform provides the touch screen interface and backbone management of a new system being rolled out that let customers send user generated content, like photos and text messages, to friends, family and co-workers. Revenue for system operators and host outlets can be generated through the sale of on-screen ad space and by charging users a fee for creating customized postcards.
The Send A Message (SAM) kiosk is a multi-purpose digital media kiosk that allows users to quickly upload photos from their digital cameras, create customized postcards and print them on high quality photo paper.
All of the functionality of the kiosk can be managed remotely through Omnivex digital signage software. Fujifilm North America installs and maintains these units for Send A Message, Inc.
“Our digital media photo kiosk packages a stunning technology design with a simple to use application that enables guests to create unique photo postcards with their personal media in just minutes,” says Kristen Tsitoukis, president & CEO of Send A Message, Inc. “Omnivex software has enabled us to provide a more all encompassing system to our customers,” said Tsitoukis.
The system has recently been deployed at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown and the Renaissance Orlando at Sea World. Omnivex value added reseller, Digisplay, brought all of the different aspects of the project together to combine the strengths of each of the companies involved into one unified solution.
“Omnivex software was invaluable for the success of this system because it allowed us to incorporate advertising space along with a touch screen interface and the ability to print the postcards,” said Jim McNeal, president, Digisplay, LLC. “As this system is rolled out to more locations, the network management functionality will be of paramount importance, as we plan to manage this system for Send A Message, Inc.’s hotel customers,” he added.
