In today’s digitally-based world, face-to-face interactions are becoming less frequent. Businesses from California to Massachusetts are searching for impactful ways to provide services to their customers through automation and improved customer experiences.
That’s why Housing Authorities across the country are investing in self-service kiosks like the Documentation Kiosk, including Quincy, MA, Orange County, FL, and Olmsted County, MN.
What is the Self-Service Documentation Kiosk?
The Documentation Kiosk is an all-in-one solution that offers an alternative avenue to providing the public with most of the same services provided in a traditional office setting. Complete with hardware such as laser printer, full metal keyboard, card readers, and our ADA compliant cutting edge full page document scanner. This self-service kiosk can accomplish many low level tasks required to fulfill the needs of any Housing Authority. For interactions where privacy is a concern addition of a privacy screen and VOIP handset with switching technology are must haves.
- Paying rent
- Scanning and printing documents
- Applying for housing
- Retrieving documents
- Requesting maintenance
Self-Service Kiosks That Provide Solutions During Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated many of the issues that decision-makers in the Housing Authorities industry face, including:
- Long wait times
- Quality of services
- Overcrowded lobbies and the possibility of germ spreading
- Inconvenient business hours
- Teller availability
Much of their client base consists of demographics that are most at risk of severe health complications from COVID, including the elderly, disabled, and people of color. To eliminate risk while also planning for the industry’s future landscape, Housing Authorities from Maine to Washington turn to self-service kiosk solutions.
Housing Authorities are a great example of where self-service provides a fresh outlook. Many of their services do not require personal interaction. A large portion of their day-to-day operations can be automated and streamlined by introducing self-service-based solutions where human interaction is minimal.
The Documentation Kiosk addresses all of those concerns and then some by shortening wait times and providing consistent, reliable service at all hours. Germ-spreading is also a nonfactor, as the kiosk is easily sanitized and is even durable enough to handle a drink spill.
