Source Technologies Launches Multi-Function Interactive Kiosks for Retailers

CHARLOTTE, N.C., December 13, 2007 -Source Technologies, a leading provider of integrated solutions that help companies manage secure, real-time information and transactions, announced the availability of its first device in a line of interactive kiosks designed to accommodate retailers' unique self-service needs. The kiosks can perform such services as price checking, digital signage, guided selling, product locator, store mapping, customer check-in, computer-based training and many other functions.

Source Technologies' interactive kiosks feature an open, Windows® Embedded operating system that supports an unlimited number of applications, maximizing the value and usability for retailers. Its compact, modular design and field-installable components allow retailers to expand the device's capabilities within the field. As organizations grow and their business needs change, the kiosk's flexible design allows them to add other functions quickly and easily.

"Traditionally, retailers have been limited to single-function kiosks that perform price checking only," said Bryan Jorett, Vice President Integrated Products Division, Source Technologies. "Our interactive kiosks are distinctive in that they are the first to offer retailers a flexible device that performs multiple services for self-service beyond simple price checking. Retailers appreciate the multi-functionality of the kiosks because this allows them to maximize their investment and provides many new options for servicing their in-store customers."

In addition to its Windows Embedded operating system and field-installable components, Source Technologies' interactive kiosk features a significantly larger screen than traditional price checkers. Consumers benefit from a well-designed screen that is more attractive, easier to read and provides simpler navigation. Though the screen view area is 400 percent larger than other kiosks, the overall size of the kiosk is still compact and can be installed in very confined areas.

Source Technologies will debut the interactive kiosk at the National Retail Federation (NRF) show, held in New York City from Jan. 13-15, 2008. Additional information can be found at www.kiosks.sourcetech.com.
