The Industry Group!

The Industry Group comprises various related technology sites and news feeds from kiosks to digital signage to POS and Smart City. Retail Automation and EV Charging are others. Self-service technology (SST) is a type of technology that allows customers to perform various tasks without the assistance of a human. SSTs can bring many benefits to both customers and businesses, including cost savings, improved efficiency, and better customer experience123. For instance, HR leaders are adopting employee and manager self-service software to improve service, reduce labor costs, and shift the responsibility for handling routine transactions from HR to employees, managers, and job candidates
