ZIVELO AND OAK LABS MERGE TO REDEFINE PUBLIC COMPUTING
The two companies join forces to pave the path for the future of interactive technology
This acquisition positions ZIVELO as the first interactive experience provider to now offer a comprehensive suite of powerful software development tools on top of its proven hardware product line and services offering. Healey Cypher, co-founder & CEO of Oak Labs, will be the new CEO of ZIVELO and Ziver Birg, founder & CEO of ZIVELO, will serve as Executive Chairman.
“People don’t realize how frequently they use kiosks,” said Cypher. “Public-computing is becoming ubiquitous as customers demand easy, self-service experiences that don’t require downloading an app. However, historically building and deploying kiosk programs has been way too hard. The new ZIVELO introduces the first kiosk software developer kit on top of our beautiful product line. Building a kiosk experience has never been easier.”
Credence Research recently reported that the kiosk market is a $6B+ industry, and is poised to grow past $30B by 2025 as self-service technology adoption continues to grow across key verticals globally. Well documented business cases tie kiosks to 30% basket-lift, increased efficiency, enhanced data collection, and higher productivity per associates.
“With this acquisition, we will now offer advanced software solutions which, combined with our wide range of products, has the potential to transform how this industry operates. We can now solve our customers’ largest kiosk program challenges and better deliver the business results they seek,” said Birg. “As a veteran of this industry, I have never been so excited about where we are headed.”
