ObloLIFE
ObloLIFE software is an innovative hybrid system that combines a retailer web-site with a customer desk-top
application. ObloLIFE , the “kiosk-at-home” software solution, is a fully customizable desktop client application that enables consumers to order prints, photo-books and photo-calendars directly from home, as if they were in the store. When the order is ready, with a simple click of the mouse the job is securely transferred via Internet to the store or central lab for production and delivery.

The workflow and GUI interface of ObloLIFE , although optimized for the PC environment, is the same kiosk Oblò interface internationally praised for its usability and elegance.

This software, specifically designed for retailers, allows total flexibility in terms of products selection, pricing, printing fulfilment and statistics of use.
ObloLIFE is for retailers an easy and convenient way of incrementing printing orders while staying always in-touch with their customers.

NIKInformer
NIKInformer is a standalone retail information kiosk, commissioned to Oblò by Nital Spa, Italy’s exclusive distributor for Nikon, as a way of promoting the entire camera company’s photographic line of products in more than 100 photo retail stores. The Oblò info-kiosk software combines a touch-screen kiosk application, a Web server application and a Web database. The workflow and GUI interface of the kiosk are based on the latest technologies, to grant a unique and appealing customer experience.

Everything is based around a database allowing retailers to easily update and manage personalized content. Using Oblò’s InTouch 24/7 software, a complete remote management and monitoring system is possible. Oblò info-kiosk software is specifically designed for retail environment, allowing retailers total flexibility in terms of products description, pricing, cross-features suggestion and statistics of use.
Even though NIKInformer was specifically designed to help sell photo systems, Oblò info-kiosks could be used to promote any kind of product.

Plano, with its revolutionary, compact architecture is perfect for creating multi-kiosk configurations in store.
