Why RedyRef Makes Building an Interactive Kiosk Easy



Why RedyRef Makes Building an Interactive Kiosk Easy

Freestanding Tablet Custom KioskAt RedyRef, we know that building a successful interactive kiosk requires the consideration of many factors, including kiosk size, design, and software. This can make the process of planning and overseeing the construction of an interactive kiosk seem somewhat overwhelming; however, at RedyRef we've taken care to ensure that building an interactive kiosk is supremely simple for our customers. We know that when a kiosk can be easily customized, branded, and fitted to specific uses, both companies and their customers are more highly satisfied.

Customized Kiosks

Interactive kiosk customization is one of the primary ways we've made the building process easier for customers. RedyRef interactive kiosk design features can be customized in a number of ways to better meet customer objectives; these features include monitors, security cameras, printers, dispensers, speakers, card readers, and signature pads. Our customers can also customize their kiosks to be wireless, accept currency, include biometric scanners, and feature dual monitors. With such a variety of advanced customizable features, our kiosks are able to offer customers exactly what they're looking for. Additionally, we can work one-on-one with customers to make recommendations, review features, and guarantee kiosks are properly customized. Find additional ways to customize your RedyRef kiosk here.

Effective branding is an integral component for the success of any business, and that's why we've made it easier for our customers to increase their brand recognition with custom exterior designs. Our enGAGE kiosks are available with skins that can be custom-designed to reflect your company's name, logo, and corporate colors to ensure that your kiosk markets your brand more effectively. Our enGAGE line of kiosks can also enhance aesthetic through its ability to modify standard structural design to best suit a particular environment; kiosks can stand alone, be mounted on walls and desks, or be custom mounted to other surfaces. Our kiosks can also be customized to any desired size.

Comprehensive Service

Redy Ref Engage Custom Wall Kiosk Creating a kiosk is also made easier with comprehensive service. When customers have a knowledgeable partner to walk them through the building process step by step, the end result is a product that optimally fits their needs. At RedyRef, our experts work with customers to plan out initial concept details, discuss and select specific design features, and create a realistic rendering via CAD software. After we receive your approval, we'll then develop a prototype in our own facilities, which allows both RedyRef and our customers to make final adjustments and troubleshoot any construction issues. All prototypes can be thoroughly tested by our customers, who have the ability to make further adjustments. From there, we'll construct, ship, and professionally install all of your kiosks and their interactive software. In short, with comprehensive service, customers receive professional guidance from start to finish.




Kiosk Creation for Specific Venues

Turnkey Kiosk Design Process

With any project, you need a place to start! With the enGAGE line of standard kiosks you can build off of an existing foundation to create something that not only meets your needs, but will exceed your vision. This go-to-market design strategy holds true when designing kiosks as the enGAGE platform is designed to meet manufacturing norms and in-field standards so that when the kiosk gets to the field it is well suited for the environment in which it is deployed.

The enGAGE line was designed to meet the foundational requirements of many vertical markets within the kiosk ecosystem, as kiosks provide a wide variety of services from helping shoppers navigate a mall to directing business people in a building to checking in at a hotel. Finally, because the enGAGE platform has already laid the groundwork of a standard kiosk it serves as an industrial design that gives you more than a concept to start with, but it shortens time to market and lowers the engineering costs involved with conceptual design phases normally associated with a from scratch kiosk design. We all know, kiosks serve many different purposes and starting from a base and working up to build something that is unique and can fit your needs is exactly what RedyRef does every day!

 RedyRef engineers work with clients to build around a standard kiosk that turns into a functional and unique kiosk for their business. This means the design, capabilities and functions are all suited to your specific needs. If you want turnkey operation, than RedyRef is the kiosk manufacturer for your business because you can choose a design and adapt it to your vision. Choosing a manufacturer that can integrate an array of component options to your kiosk is key because you want something that can perform exactly how you want it.


Take for instance the option of fitting your kiosk with screen sizes that vary from 15 inches to 60 inches with touchscreen functions and even outdoor readability application. Perhaps you want to integrate advanced safety features like biometric securities that cover fingerprints, iris and facial scanners. The options are truly limitless because the engineers at RedyRef can give you recommendations based on your needs and explain to you all the component functions available.

Will your kiosk need a printer port…keyboard…card reader…currency acceptance? If so, RedyRef can integrate one or all of these features into your kiosk to fit your needs. Things like speakers, document scanners, phone handsets, vinyl decals, pin pads, proximity sensors and much more can all be added for your convenience! If you need a turnkey kiosk solution, rely on RedyRef to be your kiosk manufacturer!

Top Kiosks & Designed Products by RedyRef


For more than a century, the RedyRef team has been the leading creator of custom kiosks, touch screen directories, and telephone enclosures for use in your professional location. Due to our thoroughly trained expert technicians and 70,000 square-foot manufacturing facility, we are capable of quickly producing products and assisting our customers on a daily basis. Our personal success has led to the shared success of those we assist, helping RedyRef to become a well-known name in the kiosk industry.

Our customers have often claimed that our products are the only units that can meet with their everyday demands, while simultaneously offering increased convenience and easy-of-use. Recently, we interviewed our most frequent clients and asked which kiosks or other products we have designed were their favorite. Below is a list of the most frequently mentioned items and how they've helped many successful businesses maintain smooth daily operations.






With it's large 26-inch LCD monitor that displays in rich, vibrant color, it's easy to recognize why this unit stands out amongst the crowd. The sleek and simple design leaves no room for confusion, allowing users to determine the easiest method of use as soon as they approach. For owners, the kiosk also offers a base that can be mounted to the floor for reinforced stability.





This kiosk was originally designed for the New Jersey Transit Authority, as its simple and noticeable design made it easy for passengers to notice announcements during busy days. Allowing for messages to be displayed across further distances, the Goal Post has become widely popular amongst industries that need to provide information to large groups. Accessibility is made easier than ever with an access panel and locking mechanism to easily reach the 42-inch monitor.





Several of our customers require a kiosk that can withstand the elements, as they must be displayed outdoors or in potential dangerous areas. To meet with their needs we created the Bolt, a kiosk with a back chassis created from ¼” steel and a front panel of 16ga stainless steel. Installed within is a 17-inch monitor, webcam, keyboard, card reader, and computer, all thoroughly protected from harm. Furthermore, we've installed a mechanism which captures and removes water that may spill onto the device.




Are you one of RedyRef's pleased customers? If so, has your favorite kiosk made the list or are have you created a custom kiosk you think is even better? Let us know!
