A new IBM Web-enabled kiosk allows retailers to use the power of the Internet to give shoppers more choices and convenience. Solutions built on the new IBM NetVista Kiosk platform will provide added convenience by allowing consumers to buy catalog merchandise, Web-only products or other goods and services at one location. Shoppers will be able to browse gift registries, configure products or services such as home entertainment centers, learn about new products and compare alternatives at the kiosk before making a merchandise selection. In addition, they can sample products such as CDs, movies and video games before making a purchase.
Retailers can use in-store kiosks to increase the choices of merchandise they offer.
We understand that consumers want a fast, convenient alternative for self-service shopping.
