Case Study: Accessibility in stores with Applivery

In a dynamic retail environment and other settings using unattended devices, accessibility and control are key factors in ensuring a smooth and secure user experience. Imagine a modern store where customers interact with Android devices to explore products, resolve questions, or make purchases. In this scenario, it’s crucial to maintain a balance between ease of use and protection against unauthorized access. This is where Applivery and its advanced kiosk mode play a fundamental role.

Applivery’s kiosk mode allows organizations to configure Android devices so that only permitted applications are visible and accessible. This not only improves security and operational efficiency but also enhances accessibility for end users. Let’s see how this solution can be applied in a physical store to improve accessibility on unattended devices.

Key configurations of advanced Kiosk Mode

Applivery offers a series of advanced configurations for kiosk mode that are essential for any environment requiring control and accessibility, especially in stores.

Escape password

One of the most valuable features of kiosk mode is the escape password. This function allows administrators or managers to access device settings when necessary, ensuring that devices can be managed without compromising security. The password is configured directly from the Applivery portal and can be changed at any time, adapting to the store’s needs.

Customizable wallpaper

The ability to change the device’s wallpaper is a function that, although seemingly simple, has a significant impact on the user experience. An appropriate wallpaper can reinforce the store’s brand and provide a more user-friendly and accessible interface for users.

Configuration action

This feature allows users to access a specific section of the device settings when tapping on the settings icon. This is especially useful for environments where you want to limit user access to certain configurations, maintaining simplicity and usability.

Icon Size

In terms of accessibility, icon size is crucial. With Applivery, you can adjust the size of icons in the device launcher, ensuring that all users, including those with visual impairments, can easily interact with the device. This is a significant improvement in terms of accessibility, allowing interfaces to be clearer and easier to use for everyone.

Display device name

Displaying the device name in Applivery not only facilitates management by the IT team but also helps users quickly identify which device they are using. This is especially useful in store environments where multiple devices are available and it’s necessary to know which is which.

Listed and ordered applications

Applivery allows you to select which applications will be visible in the launcher and, therefore, accessible to the user. Additionally, you can order these applications according to your needs, optimizing workflow and improving user experience. This is crucial in a store environment, where only certain applications, such as the product catalog or payment system, should be available to customers.

Other relevant configurations

In addition to the main functions mentioned, Applivery offers other configurations that can be useful in a store environment:

  • Power button actions: Controls what happens when a user long-presses the power button, ideal for preventing unwanted restarts or shutdowns.
  • Status bar: You can disable the status bar so that system information and notifications don’t interfere with the user experience.
  • System error warnings: Blocks error dialogs for blocked or unresponsive applications, ensuring that the device continues to function without interruptions.
  • System navigation: Controls which navigation functions, such as the Home button, are available in kiosk mode.
  • Brightness mode and screen timeout: Configures screen brightness and timeout to adapt to the environment and improve usability.

Applivery as an accessibility tool in stores

Implementing Applivery’s advanced kiosk mode on Android devices in stores not only improves security and control but also optimizes accessibility, allowing adjustments such as icon size and control of available applications. This creates an inclusive and efficient user experience, ensuring that all customers can interact safely and effectively with the technology, while maintaining control and optimizing store operations.
