Tolga Kusdemir, Kiosk Project Manager

As announced during the roadshow in autumn 2014, our plan was to deliver 100 Kiosks throughout Germany by the end of 2014. Now is time to take stock of the situation and it is clear that we have even surpassed our own ambitious goal: at present, more than 120 Kiosks are already in use!

HERE is an overview of the stores where a Kiosk is already being used. Interested retailers are welcome to visit these stores for advice and to experience the Kiosk live.

Advantages of brodos.net Kiosk for specialist retailers:

1. Extensive product portfolio without capital lock-up: The Kiosk makes it possible for a huge range of products to be delivered without having to be kept in stock in the store. In addition to goods stocked by Brodos, many other products from numerous specialist suppliers can be ordered via the Marketplace. With a wider range of merchandise available, more customers can be attracted and more turnover generated.

2. Cross-Selling: The Kiosk can be used by sales staff to make purchases together with the customer, offering the perfect opportunity for boosting turnover with cross-selling. When looking for items together, the Kiosk automatically suggests suitable accessories or shows other colour options.

3. Plug & Play – get started straightaway: Once the Kiosk has been connected, the retailer doesn’t need to take any further action. The product catalogue and prices are kept up to date on a daily basis entirely automatically. There is no need to tediously enter thousands of items into the system or spend hours calculating prices, leaving more time for providing advice and actually selling products.

Advantages of brodos.net Kiosk for end customers:

1. The shopping experience of the internet in brick and mortar stores: The Kiosk combines the advantages of online and offline shopping. All prices are shown clearly and can easily be compared. In addition, the specialist retailer is on hand to provide a personal consultation, the likes of which cannot be found online. The Kiosk does not only offer the typically restricted product range offered by specialist retailers, but rather a huge product range with different models and colour options.

2. Service: a personal contact is available to clarify any issues or to deal with any problems or questions which may arise.

3. Fair prices: Price comparisons with reputable online suppliers ensure that product prices in the Kiosk remain competitive with online prices.
