The tablet floor stand that answers your visitors

Why a floor stand rather than the wall or the counter

A floor stand has one advantage the others do not: it moves. You put it by the entrance in the morning, near the glass in the evening, in the middle of the showroom on an open day. No drilling, no counter to clear.

It also shows from a distance. A tablet left on a desk disappears behind a computer screen or a pile of paperwork. On a stand it sits at eye level, and the panel carrying it says what it is for before anyone steps closer.

The trade-off is that it needs a little floor space and a socket not too far away. In a small town-centre window, a wall mount is often simpler.

What to check when choosing an iPad floor stand

Ludovic Lévêque, who created Kiosky, has been selling this hardware for years to shops, estate agents and company receptions. The questions are always the same.

• The tablet model: a closed enclosure is cut for one specific model, so check yours before ordering
• Power: the tablet stays on all day, so you need a socket within reach and a cable that does not trail
• Anti-theft: in a place open to the public, the tablet should sit in a case that cannot be opened without the key
• Stability: a stand that gets knocked in passing must not tip over
• The panel: a surface in your branding tells passers-by why they should stop

MacLocks PowerMove: an iPad kiosk stand with a tablet you lift off

The PowerMove BrandMe is a floor stand with a panel in your colours and a removable tablet, which charges when you put it back on the stand. During opening hours your adviser picks it up to show a page to a seated customer, then returns it. In the evening it stays on the stand and shows the QR code.

It suits a hotel lobby, a car dealership, a pool shop or the entrance to an estate agency. First-year pack: €1,650 excl. VAT, Kiosky licence included.

MacLocks BrandMe backlit: the stand you can see from the street

The backlit BrandMe goes just behind the glass, facing the pavement. Its illuminated panel carries your brand and stays visible in the evening, while the tablet is held in an anti-theft case. It is the one to choose when customers mostly walk past a closed shop: an estate agent on a Sunday, a kitchen showroom in the evening.

First-year pack: €1,590 excl. VAT, licence included. It needs a socket nearby.

What Kiosky adds to the stand

A stand on its own holds a tablet. With Kiosky, that tablet answers. The visitor scans the QR code and asks their question out loud or in writing, in their own words and language, with no app and no account. The assistant replies using the information you gave it: your listings, your models, your opening hours, your instructions.

If it does not know, it does not make something up: it passes the question on to you. If the visitor wants an appointment, a viewing or a quote, they leave their name and a phone number or email. You receive these requests every morning.

We do the set-up, in one day: you send your sheets, and each one gets its QR code.

The pack, and what it does not include

The stand is also available on its own: Ludovic has been selling it elsewhere for years. On Kiosky it is sold as a pack with the first-year licence. It is delivered to you and belongs to you. After that, only the licence renews: €1,190 excl. VAT a year per kiosk.

The tablet is not supplied. The assistant does not take payments and does not replace your adviser: it answers the simple questions and brings you the contacts.
