concourse Software Platform

Application development and maintenance are often the hidden costs of self-service kiosk deployment. That is why Source Technologies developed the concourse Software Platform (CSP), an n-tier development environment that includes tools for user interface (UI) design, plus off-the-shelf software for application logic and services, device control, and system monitoring.  CSP is the only software development tool engineered specifically for kiosk applications from the bottom up:

• CSP Device Manager - Typical kiosk deployments require the customer or developer to write custom interfaces to control the kiosk devices. The Device Manager module eliminates custom coding by providing off-the-shelf device interfacing and control as part of a complete concourse solution.

• CSP Application Manager - Self-service solutions are complex, requiring management of kiosk applications and devices, external business systems and data, and other automation in a retail environment. Application Manager provides real-time control and orchestration of all these pieces. In addition to running both custom and standard applications, Application Manager provides APIs for building external services that integrate with other business systems, such as POS, authentication, merchandising, CRM, and cash settlement.
