In the latest episode of the Rising Stars Podcast, “Kiosk Solutions and Future-Proofing Technology with Frank Olea,” host Kate Orara takes listeners into the world of self-service kiosks. Tune in to discover how to maximize the potential of your kiosk solutions and prepare for the future of this fast-growing technology.
We aim to assist channel partners in every way we can and provide innovative benefits to many retail verticals. We’ve launched many modern point-of-sale (POS) and self-service solutions since the last VARTECH conference, and it’s not stopping now!
The same rules apply to unattended retail and contactless payments, including “just walk out,” buy-online-pickup-in-store ( BOPIS), self-order kiosks, self-scan kiosks, and in-store mobile, along with the rest of your traditional in-person or online payment journeys. It's A Big Eco-System.
Since the pandemic began, value-added resellers (VARs) and technology providers (ISVs, ISOs) in the point-of-sale space have been going through one of the most rewarding and challenging macro environments of their lives.

These devices can now feature more compact designs, portability, and increased storage capabilities, expanding their utility beyond traditional settings to encompass a wide range of retail applications. Omnichannel retailers use barcodes to locate in-stock items and “buy online, pick up in-store” (BOPIS) orders quickly.
