We’re using the term “sunset” here because we do still provide some support for some existing kiosk systems. Please contact support@liveinterface.com for more information.

If you would like to view some of the old cached versions of this website, as it evolved over the years, please see the following cached by webarchive. In most cases 2nd level webpages were not cached and DB dependent PHP pages won’t render, but the main page and some others will mostly. If the flash content is not working, installing the extension Ruffle should help (though not where the SWF file is missing at webArchive, there is then nothing to play):

2007 PnP Kiosks: Online store for direct sales SMB customer channel. Here customers could configure and purchase hardware online (LiveInterface.com was reserved for mid-tier and enterprise customers for kiosk solutions including kiosk apps).

2008-2013: Did a number of solar-power themed kiosks to go with installations on building and sit in the clients’s lobby to demonstrate their sustainability. This turned into a solar consulting gig (SolarNow Consulting) where we also developed integrator software (solartelligence) for doing the engineering, estimates, and CRM. We deployed close to 100 LiveInterface kiosks connected to solar arrays throughout the country. A huge downturn in Solar PV installs in 2011 eclipsed this market.

2014: Massive rebranding and major kiosk redesign with our transformer kiosk, the Bumblebee, involving a substantial engineering and retooling cost. With the kiosk market being flooded , this was our key differentiator, a gambit that eventually proved insufficient for us to maintain the hardware manufacturing side of the business. Within a year we had become mainly a kiosk app provider and developer.

2017: Winding down the kiosk hardware business (focused more on our JobItPro CRM solutions, our proprietary inhouse-built fully featured CRM app with workspaces and exhaustive analytics, see video), and Whizbang Interactive, our Kiosk App Solutions portal (see below). The kiosk business was mostly on life support from this time until 2021 afterwhich the business was sunset.

2017: Whizbang Interactive, LiveInterface’s “new in 2017” Kiosk App Solutions portal. As we had evolved more into a hardware-agnostic kiosk-app solutions provider we wanted a web presence that focused mainly on specific interactive applications (while LiveInterface.com was a hardware/software solution), including mobile solutions. This channel, like PnP Kiosks, and JobItPro, was wholey owned by LiveInterface. WhizBang showcased dozens of kiosk-app solutions, including many that could be test driven live on the website. This channel was a larger customer base than LiveInterface.com, including customers looking for non-kiosk applications.
