The Tech Bar without the overhead

Smart Kiosks — instant IT support at every site, without the tech bar.

Live video helpdesk, remote device control over IP KVM, and eight integrated locker cells in a single workstation. Scale on-site IT support across distributed offices without scaling headcount. NPS +94 from enterprise IT teams.

Here's a Smart Kiosk closing a break-fix ticket.

Live video to a remote engineer. Remote control of the device. Locker cells for the swap. All in one terminal — no truck-roll, no tech-bar queue.

What it is

What is a smart IT support kiosk?

A smart IT support kiosk is a self-service workstation that connects employees to live IT engineers over video, gives the engineer secure remote control of the device through IP KVM, and includes integrated locker cells for collecting replacement hardware or returning broken kit.

The result: most IT support resolutions happen at the kiosk — without an onsite engineer, without a tech bar queue, without shipping the device anywhere.

How it works

How the Smart Kiosk works.

Four steps. Most IT support tickets close at the kiosk, in minutes, without dispatching anyone.

Employee starts a session

Any site, any time. The employee enters a PIN at the kiosk to start a session. Secure actions during the session are agent-mediated by design.

Live IT engineer joins by video

Instant, human, not a chatbot. The engineer joins from anywhere — no need to travel to the site.

Engineer takes remote control via IP KVM

Diagnose, fix, configure. The engineer drives the device directly from their workstation, securely over IP.

Device exchange via integrated lockers

If a replacement is needed, the agent remotely opens a locker cell or issues a one-time code to the employee — collection or drop-off happens immediately, ticket closes on the agent's instruction.

Hardware components

What's in the Smart Kiosk.

A single workstation that combines three capabilities — live video support, remote device control, and physical device exchange — into one piece of furniture that fits any corporate site.

Live video helpdesk

HD touchscreen, camera, microphone array and speakers. Connects to your remote IT support team or to a Velocity-managed video resolver group, 24/7. Human-led, not chatbot.

IP KVM remote control

IP-based keyboard-video-mouse. The remote engineer takes full control of the employee's device — diagnose, configure, fix — over a secure connection. No physical presence needed.

Eight integrated locker cells

Eight laptop-sized cells per kiosk, remotely opened by the support agent. Secure 24/7 drop-off for broken kit and collection for replacements. No need for a separate locker bank.

The range

Two screens. One Smart Kiosk.

Both models share the same capabilities — live video helpdesk, IP KVM remote control and eight integrated locker cells. The difference is the screen, the footprint, and the kind of site each one suits.

The comparison

Why the Smart Kiosk beats the alternatives.

Compared to traditional tech bars

No fixed hours, no dedicated floor space, no local engineers required. One Smart Kiosk replaces multi-site staffing.

Compared to robotic kiosks

Fewer moving parts, lower investment, reduced maintenance complexity. Automate the friction, not the human.

Compared to disconnected tools

One unified physical experience designed for enterprise IT workflows — video, remote control, and device exchange in one place.

Compared to other kiosk manufacturers

Lower cost, modular, focused on how IT support teams actually work. Designed by an IT services company, not a hardware vendor.

On the roadmap

Smart Kiosk on the Smart Collect® roadmap.

Q3 2026

Full ServiceNow integration is on its way — and here's what's true today.

Today: Smart Kiosk integrates with enterprise ITSM platforms — including ServiceNow — via open API. Sessions, device exchanges and video calls flow into your ITSM as records. This is how every Smart Kiosk deployed in 2026 operates.

From Q3 2026: Full native integration with the Smart Collect® application arrives — putting every kiosk session, every IP KVM diagnostic and every video call inside ServiceNow as a first-class record, alongside the locker and vending workflows already running natively.

Velocity customers deploying Smart Kiosks today get the API-based integration option. Customers deploying from Q3 2026 onward will get the full native ServiceNow architecture across all three Smart Collect® form factors.

The outcomes

For your IT team. For your employees.

Two audiences, one device. The IT leader gets cost-to-serve down; the employee gets the wait removed.

For IT leaders

Scale on-site IT support across distributed offices without scaling headcount
Most break-fix tickets resolved remotely — no engineer dispatched
Centralised IT engineering team can serve every site, every shift
Every interaction logged, audit-ready, reportable
Integrated locker cells mean no separate hardware-collection bank needed

For employees

24/7 access — no waiting for IT business hours
Real engineer over video — not a chatbot, not a knowledge-base search
Most issues fixed in minutes, not days
If the device needs replacing, collect the loaner from the same kiosk
NPS +94 from enterprise IT teams that have deployed Smart Kiosks

Implementation

Three steps to live Smart Kiosks.

Design

A 60-minute workshop with a Velocity solutions architect maps your sites, your existing tech-bar coverage, your ITSM landscape, and where Smart Kiosks would deliver the biggest impact.

PoC

A single-site proof of concept inside 90 days. Live video resolver group, real users, measurable resolution-time and ticket-reduction outcomes against your baseline.

Scale

Multi-site rollout across the estate. The same hardware, same engineering team, same workflows — replicated across regional offices, manufacturing sites, or remote locations.

Frequently asked

Smart IT support kiosks — common questions.

A self-service workstation that connects employees to live IT support over video, supports remote device control via IP KVM, and includes integrated locker cells for device exchange. Designed to replace the physical tech bar across distributed sites.

A smart locker is a self-service hardware collection point. A Smart Kiosk adds a live video helpdesk, remote device control, and integrated locker cells — for situations where the employee needs help, not just collection.

Smart Kiosk integrates with ServiceNow and other ITSM platforms via open API today. Full native integration through the Smart Collect® application is on the roadmap for Q3 2026 — at which point every kiosk session, IP KVM diagnostic and video call becomes a first-class ServiceNow record alongside the locker and vending workflows already running natively.

Employees start a kiosk session with a PIN — by design, the session is low-friction at the employee side. Security-sensitive actions during the session are agent-mediated: the support engineer joins by video, controls the device via IP KVM, and either remotely opens a locker cell or issues a one-time collection code as needed. This keeps the high-trust actions in the hands of authorised IT staff rather than on a touchscreen.

IP-based keyboard-video-mouse — a secure protocol that lets an authorised support engineer take direct control of a device over the network. From the kiosk, the engineer can diagnose, configure or fix devices without being physically present.

Eight laptop-sized locker cells per unit, each remotely opened by the support agent for secure 24/7 drop-off and collection. Sufficient for most single-site break-fix and loaner workflows; for higher volume, deploy alongside Velocity Smart Lockers.

Fewer moving parts, lower investment, reduced maintenance. The Velocity approach is to automate the friction, not the human — most IT support is best delivered by a real engineer with the right tools, not by robotics.
