Tisak plus d.o.o., a member of the Fortenova Group, is the largest retail kiosk chain in Croatia with more than 550 points of sale. The goal of the project was to expand the standard kiosk offering, and the assigned task included support for the distribution of electronic goods such as e-vouchers for mobile telephony, prepaid content, and digital services. At the same time, it was necessary to provide customers with a unified user experience in which they can purchase print media, pay by card, collect an e-voucher, or execute cash withdrawal via a cash advance<\/em> transaction \u2014 all on a single device integrated with the kiosk\u2019s existing checkout system. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        The project showed that it is possible to unify the processing of different types of transactions on a single device and through a unified business process.
        By implementing this project, Tisak gained added value, increased sales, and created a competitive advantage in its market segment, achieving benefits for customers in terms of convenience and speed of purchase.
        It also ensured additional revenue from the sale of digital content and cash advance services and reduced infrastructure costs at the point of sale. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":1199,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"class_list":["post-1198","case-study","type-case-study","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakaindustrija.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case-study\/1198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakaindustrija.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case-study"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakaindustrija.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/case-study"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lakaindustrija.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case-study\/1198\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1200,"href":"https:\/\/lakaindustrija.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case-study\/1198\/revisions\/1200"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakaindustrija.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakaindustrija.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
