Acquire adds GPS plugin, payment plan to digital signage package
August 16, 2009
Working Solutions, which develops Acquire digital signage software, has added a Google Maps plugin to its program, allowing users to incorporate the GPS program into digital signage content. Content is updated using 3G cellular connectivity, making it useful for mobile digital signage applications.
"We already have one of our resellers waiting to use the new GPS plugin for a taxi system trial which will start this month", said Neil Farr, managing director of Working Solutions. "The screens will be utilizing Acquire's interactive technology to allow passengers to select relevant local information. They will also be able to see their speed, heading and location on the Google map."
The company also announced a rental program for its Acquire package, where customers pay a monthly fee for use of Acquire software services.
"Customers can choose to rent the entire solution in the same way they would a SaaS solution but they have the option to purchase the software at any time. The rental model is also a good way for customers to evaluate the software for an extended period or even run a pilot or trial" said Paul Mayer, sales & marketing manager at Working Solutions.
