HootBoard overview

What is HootBoard?

HootBoard is a Kiosk as a Service (KaaS) digital concierge platform designed to help education institutions, visitor centers, hotels, hospitals, workplaces, offices, and other organizations engage their employees, visitors or students by sharing announcements, events, classifieds, jobs, and other information internally via an online bulletin board kiosk. Information kiosks enable deskless workers to access key operational info and internal communications, and also allow concierge services to give local information to visitors. Universities can share departmental or campus communications with their students and staff.

HootBoard supports touch kiosks and digital signage which allow users to add and share a variety of content, including videos, documents, and announcements. Users can personalize their board with their own branding, using a custom background, logo and colors. HootBoard enables people to interact with the board’s content and send themselves links to posts for future viewing. Users can add links to external pages such as polls and forms, sort content with tags for simple navigation and integrate their bulletin board with social media accounts, including Twitter, for automated posting.

HootBoard enables users to access or post content anywhere, anytime, via web or mobile. One-click templates allow users to choose and customize the look of their posts quickly and easily. Automated scheduling tools enable users to assign dates for posts to appear or disappear. With Zapier integration, users can connect to over 1000 apps and add content directly to their HootBoard from other cloud software. An API supports even more custom solutions, and analytics give users actionable insight into board interactions and content performance.
