Four Winds Interactive offers kiosk management

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use the Four Winds Interactive "Content Manager Desktop" to manage the kiosk in our building. This kiosk is available to visitors at our building and contains building maps, information about our organization, and a rotating selection of slides to advertise our events and programs. The Content Manager Desktop enables me to update the kiosk, arrange slides, etc.

Pros

  • You can create an elaborate kiosk design with a variety of features
  • Allows us to be connected to the larger university kiosk system
  • I can update the kiosk from my desktop without going downstairs to the actual kiosk

Cons

  • There is a big learning curve - the program is complex and not the easiest to learn
  • Works great once you know what you're doing, but can be tricky to operate

Return on Investment

  • Works better than our old kiosk system
  • Helped us modernize the look of our kiosk

Other Software Used

Trello, Wrike

Four Winds Interactive is the most capable, adaptable solution I have used - it's the only one that could handle ALL of our needs.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Four Winds Interactive is being used to power our nationwide network of screens that entertain, educate and help process queues of people in captive waiting environments. It addresses the problem of frustrated consumers who may need or want more information about the venue or their transaction, and with the help of our partners, organizes and processes transactions with visual cues on screen.

Pros

  • The FWi platform handles very complex or unique situations better than other signage solutions. They support every standard type of data and web service, and through a supplemental Integration Framework product they can support almost anything out there... or things that aren't even out there yet.
  • Their support and assistance has gotten very good over the years; I'd say it is now excellent. Their team of sign builders and engineers have advanced knowledge of the product and how it can be used; you won't get a "did you try restarting it?" when dealing with them.

Cons

  • The documentation for their products is lacking. I'm a fairly capable IT professional, so often times I just need something to point me in the right direction. Unfortunately, for their flagship software products, the documentation is very basic, and sometimes non-existent for more advanced capabilities.

Return on Investment

  • It has provided us with a reliable and capable platform to build our business model on. Advertising revenue is our main source of revenue, and FWi has provided us the only solution that can accommodate both the needs of our sponsors AND the needs of our venues. The successful ROI of FWI cannot be overstated.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have a 1200+ player unit display system that is used to display advertising, marketing, slot progressives, restaurant menus, convention center door displays, and event readerboards. It is also been customized to perform a variety of live marketing events such as drawings and special bonuses for gaming players. Our system spans 20 different properties which each will have its own unique advertising, marketing, and gaming content. Our prior display system was all custom and Four Winds has enabled us to eliminate almost all the custom applications because the functionality needed is built into the FWI software infrastructure.

Pros

  • The FWI player Hot Swap is great. If a player under warranty fails, I simply contact them to send me a replacement and the display is back up in no time.
  • FWI Technical support is very informed and will escalate to the highest possible technical level to get an issue resolved. As a well-informed user of the FWI system I have requested and received immediate escalation.
  • The FWI team is very friendly and cordial in every communication. It shows the passion they have for doing a great job.

Cons

  • When working with a large installation the amount of mouse clicking and dragging and setting of settings and make your hand a bit sore but the modular component setup of this software demands a lot of settings.
  • As a custom software designer myself I would like to see more group effective operations so I could effect a change at a property level instead of an individual player level.
  • Upgrading to a new version of the software I have left to the experts at FWI because it is rather complex. They state they are working on better ways to perform large upgrades.

Return on Investment

  • The FWI display system has allowed us to create some very unique and one of a kind promotions that help us maintain a leading role in the Las Vegas locals market.
  • The savings from not printing posters and other collateral have nearly paid for the display system in a very short time.
  • The display system also allows us to promote many different things in a single location, unlike print.
  • We can also advertise to different demographics based on location within a property such as gaming floor, floor perimeter, and non-gaming areas.
