Client Need: Miromar Outlets in Southwest Florida is a busy outdoor shopping and tourist destination for people from all over the world that visit the gulf coast and parts of the Florida east coast. Serving their thousands of customers a day with large printed wall maps and a handful of human direction givers was overwhelming and not very efficient. The goal was to provide a self-service interactive search-and-find experience to guide visitors to their shop of choice within a few touches. Safety, ease of us, and durability were critical to this project working as desired. Providing the wide range of international tourists and Sunshine State visitors two interactive, self-service, touch-screen kiosks that can provide directional assistance upon demand was the ultimate objective. The kiosk technology had to meet the environmental concerns associated with the hot, humid climate of south Florida and the wide variety of multicultural visitors that would use the kiosks on a daily basis.
Project Backstory: To bring this project to life, SSI Outdoor Kiosks were chosen with integrated PROFoil touch-screens and climate control systems. SSI also designed and deployed a manageable, multi-location interactive wayfinding software to guide users to their destination quickly and efficiently. With Miromar Outlets also being a developer in luxury real estate, WindowAgent Software was incorporated into the mix as well.
