Instituto Politécnico de Viana do Castelo innovates spaces with the installation of self-service kiosks from PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS

Interactive solutions are an increasingly strong investment by the Social Services of educational institutions, like universities and schools. In addition to providing unparalleled access to information and announcements, they are a way for institutions to communicate with the student body, faculty, alumni and visitors.

Proof of this is Instituto Politécnico de Viana do Castelo (IPVC), which used PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS services for the installation of self-service kiosks in several places of the institution.

To this end, and in order to ensure the provision of high quality services that make a difference with the students, Instituto Politécnico de Viana do Castelo has chosen PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS' self-service kiosks MEDIA QSR, precisely so that these can serve as support for students and teachers.

This way, and besides having an optimized queue management, students (and teachers as well) can, through these kiosks, buy tickets for the bar, buy tickets for the canteen, buy tickets for the Academic Bus, register for accommodation and manage bicycles (available for use by the academic community in the various spaces of the institute).

These self-service kiosks offer a number of advantages, both for students and teachers and for the educational institution:

Reduced queuing;
High consumption experience;
Increased speed in shipping meals;
Increased order accuracy;
Increased sales volume;
Increased productivity;
Different means of payment such as VISA, MBWay, etc.

Luís Ceia, administrator of the Social Services of Instituto Politécnico de Viana do Castelo, believes that there was “a qualitative leap in what is the availability of services that the Social Services have and not only in the food domain”. Besides having increased “the productivity” of the institute, the kiosks “answer to the desire and expectations that the academic population has and that are legitimate”, says Luís Ceia, underlining “the innovative look" of the equipments.

As we can see, digital equipment in Social Services is starting to play a fundamental and indispensable role. The functions that can be performed in a self-service multimedia kiosk by staff, students, teachers and parents are already part of the daily life of these institutions. “They represent everything that a student needs to support his or her teaching activity within the polytechnic institute”, explains Luís Ceia.

MEDIA QSR is a modern and contemporary kiosk that guarantees high performance and reliability. These characteristics, combined with interactive technology and self-service, give the kiosk an unusual capacity to provide information autonomously to its customers.

We are passionate about what we do and we want to share that with the world! It is this motivation that makes PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS the best possible partner in the production of any digital or interactive equipment, namely for the Education and Teaching sector.
