Bill Payment Kiosks Cash & Contactless Kioskterminals

Self service is a broad sector were we as citizens of world can interact with machines for a purpose,  one sector that creates immediate satisfication and interest is ability to pay for a service or a product and KT Group has been for past 6 years since we launched our very first foray into payment terminals created a full range of terminals that are designed for payment,  a quick reference link to some of the latest models. 

SFI was the very first terminal we entered into market for payment kiosks,  designed by award winning kiosk designer Jerry Sweikart and since sold to several private commercial enterprises both in Europe and North America the unit shown below was created for a German enterpise back in 2010.

The following machine design KT manufactured labelled VFS was a slightly less bold design due to clients requirement for a cheap inexpensive box but none the less many hundreds were shipped in period of 2011 to the client based in Vietnam.

The VFS model proved a successful design for many other business engagements throughout 2011, 2012 and 2013 with further clients having invested in Malaysia, Mexico, Czech Republic, UK.  

In 2013 KT Group changed its designer to a new fresh talent based in Slovenia our new designer began with changing our stance on design to bring fresh new ideas to the design portfolio of KT Group.  We have in past 3 years launched our current range of payment kiosks which you will see on our product page linked here and also a few custom designs we have prepared for special one off projects such as D8TB terminal shown below and are installed into airports.

Other noteable designs include latest machine designs CUSP1 and CUSB1 which are launching 2015 and are exclusive to KT Group customers.

Product Spotlight Apollo Betting Terminal

Mother Teresa was quoted to have said "Be Faithful In Small Things Because It Is Them That Your Strength Lies" and in world of terminals the Apollo was designed to have a small compact foot print so as to fit into small locations but deliver a complete solution as a one stop source for betting.

As retail space costs spiral upwards and sports betting is on rise the market is primed for a compact terminal designed to facilitate payment by cash or coin and provide receipt and betting slip and is able to read bar code labels the 15 inch touch monitor provides a complete solution.

Price of a full solution is far more competitive than its free standing alternatives and price has always been a important defacto for retailers of any sorts and it is no different for betting companies.

 Designed by KT Group the Apollo is engineered so that it can easily be serviced as well as having ease of removing stored coins and cash inside making this an ideal compact workhouse for any establishment with cramped space availability.  Earn more and spend less a winning combination.

Model Spotlight VFS Cost Effective Kiosk

KT Group specializes in design, engineering, manufacturing of custom payment kiosk terminals that can be utilized for host of different concepts but one primary key is the vend of a product that requires a machine to accept payment.

Back in 2011 a new customer based in Vietnam contacted us for exactly this purpose that it was searching for a vendor that could supply a payment kiosk terminal that could accept bill cash notes and vend a ticket which on it would allow the consumer to enact a transaction to top up their mobile prepaid time subscription with the local mobile telecommunications providers such as Viettel Mobile, Mobifone, Vinaphone, Vietnamobile, Gmobile.   The management was very clear in its instructions of what they were searching for from a vendor that at KT management we appreciate in that they gave us some specific targets.  We could list them as

1. A terminal that could be purchased for $1500 dollars complete
2. A terminal manufactured with security to protect the cash stored inside
3. A terminal that was easy to service in the field by the clients own service technicians
4. A terminal that due to volume was able to effectively be manufactured efficiently as they were after a company with ability to mass manufactured 100 plus per order
5. A terminal that could be branded so it was distinguished in retail outlets

The challenge was set quite high,   with each point we had to think through our process but points 2 through 5 were relatively simple but on point 1 it was a massive challenge as any veteran familiar to self service kiosk manufacturing is aware the budget even when producing 100 machines per order is not much while still turning a profit which any business must.

Our design and engineering team worked collectively to tackle our customer Paylink wishes and we finally evolved the model we called The VFS.  First renderings below were submitted for approval together with a indicated price.

Their did not go much time in between submission and we received the response,  the reply received was please immediately come to Ho Chi Minh City for further discussion, and a flight was booked for our then Managing Director and as well our Manufacturing Director to Vietnam, we met with the three Directors of Paylink and after a long lunch a contract was signed to begin production.

Production of the sample began and shortly afterwards the units were inspected at KT Group manufacturing facility in Shenzhen by then Technical Director and was approved on site that same day and an order of first 100 machines were enacted.

The VFS was borne like so many other of #KTKiosks from a demand and that proved a very profitable terminal for the company over next few years were several other customers of KT.

The overall reaction is of VFS model it is simplistic in design which is why from production scale it can be more cost efficient than many of KT Groups other payment kiosk terminals,  but it has ability to combine several salient features that are commonly requested, whether it is coin systems, bar code scanners or advertising monitors.

APP Payment Kiosk Spotlight

KT has a wide range of models,  its in our capacity as kiosk manufacturers that we engage and continually expand our product range,  back in 2011 we worked with a gentlemen who in fact was a client of ours and he very nicely helped us create what we now still see as one of the best terminals for job.
We ended up calling the new design,  the APP but others have called it Mini Kiosk or Omnivend kiosk but the unit design has become a flagship cornerstone for several of KT clients.

Version 1 which you see below in the images was built as a sample unit back in 2011.

The development of the APP continued in 2012 with our client and we then received our first medium sized order of 25 fully kitted payment terminals.

These now currently reside in Germany in several small to medium sized municipality buildings were they offer citizens the ease of paying their monthly utilities to local government institutions.  A second client in 2012 approached us and after we built them a custom sample of the APP the project expanded to encompass well over 150 units in less than 6 months period,  these were installed into nationwide deployment in Tesco Ireland.

The APP is popular due to a few underlying factors that our client initially told us,  first the curved front aperture of the design is appealing.   Secondly versatility of being able to customize the solution and then finally ease of serviceability.  All these points were integrated into the solution

The person who we like to thank was Edward Kogan who sadly is no longer with us,  but we hope your proud as we are of the design you spurned us to create.
