Self Service Benefits – The Benefits and Markets

Self Service Benefits

Good article by Elo on How to Meet Consumer Demand using Self Service. Includes an ROI calculator. Lays out the markets and the benefits for self service.

Excerpt:  Many businesses have discovered that enabling self-service solutions for simple tasks can result in faster, more efficient, and more streamlined processes. Today’s digital-first consumers have come to the same conclusion. Self-service options give consumers autonomy, allowing them to access information and complete routine tasks on their own. The self-service demand stems from consumers who want to take care of business themselves and get on their way more quickly.

From Kiosk History Trivia — did you know Elo (or Elographics) sold its first touchscreen in 1971? Over 50 years ago.
