Interactive trade-show kiosks that let visitors explore, not just read

The challenge

At a busy trade show, every booth competes for the same visitors. One exhibitor wanted more from its booth than static banners and brochures could give. Instead of having people read about the company, it wanted visitors to discover it for themselves: its projects, its expertise and its story.

The exhibitor is a client of a kiosk manufacturer that works with Castit, and the plan became a booth built around interactive digital kiosks. That raised the bar for the software. The whole experience depended on well-structured content, so the manufacturer needed a platform that was intuitive, stable and easy to manage, before the show and during it.

What they run

The kiosk manufacturer placed several of its digital kiosks on the booth, each one acting as an interactive window into the exhibitor's projects and expertise. Visitors could browse through visuals, dive into project details and explore the company's story at their own pace, rather than wait for someone on the stand to walk them through it.

Behind the kiosks is the same Castit platform that runs ordinary screens. When the screen is a touchscreen, Castit runs interactive kiosk applications on that same platform.

How it is managed

The kiosk manufacturer built the full content setup in Castit and could adjust it quickly, thanks to an interface it calls user-friendly. The exhibitor could make last-minute changes itself, without any technical support. The integration between Castit and the manufacturer's hardware went flawlessly, and everything ran smoothly for the entire event.

The result

• A booth people remember. Letting visitors explore at their own pace immediately made the booth more engaging and more memorable.
• Experience, not just information. The booth didn't only show what the company does; it let people experience it.
• Control up to the last minute. The exhibitor changed content when it needed to, without waiting for technical support.
• Smooth from start to finish. Hardware and software ran without problems for the whole event.

As the manufacturer puts it, the result was a booth powered by reliable hardware and a CMS that made the whole process effortless.

Kiosks as a project

Kiosk projects are one of the things Castit's certified partners deliver, alongside multi-site fleets and mixed hardware. The kiosks then run on the same platform as the rest of your screens, so one team can manage both from the same dashboard.
