Sports Betting Whizz Design

Having work in field of self service kiosk hardware manufacturing for 14 years you learn a thing or two in this time,  in 2012 we were asked by a new start up to develop an exciting design thus was borne our first foray into sports betting but this spurned our passion for desire to improve and then in 2014 we launched our first Whizz design.
Whizz encompasses several important features that are incumbent to a self service design,  but one of the core characteristics of the design is its ease to gain access for simple tasks like replacing ticket rolls and also emptying cash from the safe by means of the complete front of the Whizz range opens up easily and more importantly allows access to all areas inside of the terminal and with its gas springs that hoist the top front door upwards it also makes it very user friendly to work on terminal.

The Whizz had its first successful venture when in 2016 KT signed a contract to supply close to 3000 SSBT into a large well known brand in Europe this spurned our design and engineering team to enhance range thus the Mini Whizz and also the Whizz Mac range were developed over next couple of years spurring on more projects and opportunities.

The Whizz range comes in a palatte of touch monitor sizes ranging from 22" inch and up to 32", it can come in various configurations suitable for both sports betting and now also with new Whizz Mac within QSR food sector. 

Custom Kiosk Designs a service on rise

Self service has enjoyed a growing expansion internationally to extent that industry business corporations have evolved to expand its product offerings, as costs are offset by demand price structures from early days to now have made it increasingly affordable to businesses to invest and thus more small to mid sized businesses are launching their products, services and solutions by means of a self service kiosk.
One such sector that we have seen a rise and demand is in custom styled kiosks,  like many manufacturers of hardware they want to offer a self styled touch to its finished product and be that in a customisations of an existing product or otherwise a complete new design just for that client more manufacturers are seeing a rise and meeting the demand.  But what does it take to create a truly successful custom kiosk sadly the majority lack the vision or experience to realise.
Design is in fact second tier before a design can be created the partners normally the client and the manufacturer should ascertain the technical, user, environment and other relevant data that need to be considered and plotted into the finished design,  then once that data is assembled next step is to identify a designer that is able due to background or education use this data together with their design experience and expertise to create some original sketches that once completed will act as a guide to a finished project.   @KT Group 14 years we have been creating and manufacturing kiosks of all types and sorts and for past 7 years our services niched into providing custom designs we have partnered with one of the youngest talented designers and together working with many well known international clients created more than 60 to date successful launchments and simply said we have a track pedigree in taking a concept to reality and beyond the samples and pilots but true to a manufacturer we have produced many thousands of machines that now today fulfill their roles in perfect synchronisation with its original requirements that set mark.

Product Client Design Development

In any business relationship between manufacturer and client,  it may be consumer (case example with Apple or Samsung continually developing its range of products annually and relaunching new and improved versions) it is same to be said with business to business clients that we as manufacturer’s listen to their needs based on real life data usage that is collated then assimilated and market research is fed back to us and this data is then converted into design, performance enhancements to physical solutions so that our clientele can reap maximum returns from their investments.

KT has collaborated with host of clients one such specific customer began its operations back in 2012 launching a new service that focussed its business statement in wanting travellers to deposit their leftover foreign change into its terminals,  initially we proposed one of our standard enclosures which could encompass the requirement of paying in cash and coins,  and provide dual screens in which interaction on primary touch monitor coupled with informational advertising for its service via secondary screen. 

The initial 5 terminals installed as a pilot proved to client the service it provides was initially deemed a success to further deploy more units, but with data collected client then altered its requirements which then was handed to us and our design team created a version 2 that embodied those needs and a further 25 machines we purchased for expansion.  Fast forward to present day we are now manufacturing a version 4 which has transitioned into a solution that has seen it assist the client achieve further VC investment and expand its locations to half dozen new locations and client is fast on track to reach its goals and targets a true success story that KT Group has a reputation in not only providing a manufacturing service,  or that we are able to attract businesses to invest in our product designs but more importantly for customer we can selectively turn data into design and innovation that surpasses and supports the customer needs to attract key primary need to attract users to the terminal and then make it simple for not only consumer to use but also for technical support

KT Group has its manufacturing operations in China, but our team of employees each one brings experience to process and provides invaluable insight to the full turnkey solution we provide in from start to finish in a business relationship with our clients who most are long term prospects that continually engage us to think new solutions to their demand requirements from all important key factor that the success is driven to expand the project returns clients investors expect.

Custom Medical Kiosk Case

KT Group has for several years focussed on providing a service for clients interested in developing a terminal that is designed to suit the concept,  a reference case of ours that successful launch 18 months ago in conjunction with an established Middle Eastern pharmaceutical distributor KT pitched its design services,  engineering ability combined with resources that allow us to manufacture high volume orders via our metal production plant to jointly with the clients vision to prepare a medical kiosk that although simple in functionality can provide basic elements to a medical kiosk.

The model now referenced as i5 primary services are to provide precise weight readings in kilos, measure the height of the individual, and if user decides they also want to receive blood pressure and fat content accurate readings the premium upgrade allows for this as well.  The unit was built to be used within a pharmacy or hospital environment,  many users may not be educated in interacting with a touchscreen based operation due to lack of knowledge, experience or age so the terminal is operated by a simple button operation that provides simple easy to use steps for each service machine can deliver and the locations are able to use the additional informational digital monitor to run messages including multimedia and audio files on the screen that can inform passers-by of services the terminal offers at a quick glance a final request from our customer was to provide a traditional print post area that KT designed into main cabinet and we added LED lighting to brighten up poster frame.

The solution is now already expanded with first 270 terminals installed in specific client locations in Middle East, and customers’ expectations for forthcoming 12 months is to increase the number by doubling its numbers due to popularity in use that as customer explains is due to KT experience in providing a design that encompasses all requirements in a design that can entice the user to terminal to trial it.
