How fast does a kiosk pay for itself?

Put in your own store numbers. Every figure below is an editable example, not a measured result.

Built on standard business cases. If your planned use of the kiosks is different, get in touch with our enterprise specialists, who can help you model it.

We will email you a PDF business case and a slide deck: how each value driver works with your numbers, what happens if the kiosks work better or worse than planned, and a pilot plan to test it before a full rollout.

How it works: the first screen in a store delivers the sales and staff time entered above. Each extra screen delivers the drop-off percentage less than the one before it, so with a 20% drop-off, screen two does 80% and screen three 64%. Every screen carries its own kiosk and servicing cost; software is billed per store. Gains are gross margin, not sales, and staff time saved is shown in hours, on top of the margin gain. In the rollout plan, stores go live at the start of the month they are installed, hardware is paid at install, and the store earns from that month. Daily figures apply to trading days only; payback is counted in calendar days.
