Kiosk Innovations on Custom Kiosk Design
When it comes to kiosk deployment, one of the first strategic decisions companies face is whether to choose an off the shelf model or invest in a custom built design . The short answer is simple. If you’re deploying only a few units or kiosks play a smaller role in your business, a standard model may be suitable. But for medium or large scale deployers where brand identity, differentiation, and exclusive functionality matter, a custom kiosk design can be a major competitive advantage.
Brand Identity Belongs to Your Business
For many deployers, especially those reselling a kiosk solution as part of their product, brand identity is everything. In many industries, a kiosk is one of the few tangible touchpoints a customer interacts with, making it an extension of your brand.
Companies invest heavily in brand equity, visual design, user experience, and the value connected to their product. A standard kiosk in the market can cause:
-
Competitors to appear identical
-
Your brand investment becomes diluted
-
You may find yourself showcasing the same kiosk as your competitors at tradeshows or customer sites
A custom design ensures your kiosk reflects your brand, your colors, your architecture, and user experience rather than blending in with the rest of the market.
Differentiation
One of the strongest arguments for a custom kiosk is differentiation. When multiple companies use an off the shelf kiosk, the product experience often becomes a commodity, leaving price as the only point of distinction. That’s a losing battle.
A custom kiosk enables differentiation that actually matters to your customers, such as:
-
Usability, which reduces error for users, increases ROI, and lowers stress on staff
-
Aesthetics, which increase brand credibility and drive higher engagement with the kiosk
-
Smaller or more refined footprint
-
Faster and more intuitive user experience
-
Improved serviceability and maintenance
When customers can instantly recognize your kiosk, you’re not competing on cost, you’re competing on value, innovation, and user experience.
Purpose Built Solutions
Standard kiosks serve many use cases, industries, and environments which means they’re general, but general rarely equals optimal. Your deployment may require specific components like durability, accessibility, and security features that a standard unit can’t fully support.
Custom engineering provides:
-
A kiosk sized, shaped, and designed for your environments
-
Component sets organized for maximum performance
-
Hardware designed around how your users interact with the product
-
A refined, integrated solution
If you want the best product in your category, purpose built design is almost always the path that gets you there.
