Independent news, technical research, and market intelligence covering self-service kiosks, digital signage, unattended retail, payment systems, POS, and ADA/EAA accessibility standards. Todays Thought — Technology works best when it strengthens a service strategy—not when it is asked to replace service. The goal is customer choice: a fast self-service option when people want it, and capable human help when they need it. Customers come in all flavors (so do employees). One size does not fit all.
