Signifi Announces Managed Services to Help Owner operators Succeed with Entertainment Kiosks.

Oct. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Toronto, ON. – Signifi Solutions Inc. (“Signifi”) today announced the launch of a Managed Services division to accompany their best in class home entertainment kiosks.  The team of experts will help ensure their clients succeed in the highly competitive entertainment kiosk industry.  With nearly 40 years of experience in home entertainment and kiosks, the team will add tremendous value to clients purchasing Signifi built machines – the fastest and highest capacity kiosks available in the industry today.  

“Our phones have been ringing off the hook as awareness has grown of the benefits of our machine”, said Tom Hall, VP of Sales at Signifi.  “A number of clients from around the globe have access to great venues for entertainment kiosks, but don't really understand the nuances of the business.  Our Managed Services team will help address this need”.  With expertise in strategic and financial planning, purchasing, marketing and deployment, the team will be able to help clients get their business off to a strong start, then either help clients build and train their own teams or continue to work side by side with them as their business grows.  

Signifi understands that, unlike other kiosk-based businesses, entertainment kiosks require a much higher level of planning, and systems and procedures need to be highly tuned before the kiosk is activated for customers.  Pricing, marketing, purchasing and location strategies are absolutely critical success factors.  The recent growth of BluRay and games has only added to this complexity.  

While Signifi's hardware and software are proven best in class performers, new entrants in the kiosk industry also need these areas perfected to help ensure success.  “It's really about getting the whole package right”, said Greg Waring former VP of Marketing at redbox.  “Many people think they can simply buy and install a machine, stock it with movies, and wait for the profits to start rolling in.  As simple as the business seems from a customer perspective, every new entrant needs to spend time tailoring and thinking about the specific needs of their machines in this very competitive market”.  

The Signifi solution is end-to-end, it includes a web based backend, inventory and customer, management tools; as well as Esprida's sophisticated enterprise remote management platform. The solution is further enhanced with a full digital signage management system that controls the dedicated advertising LCD screen.
