What's Next...Our Plan

We are looking for early adopters!  Our primary objective is to get our kiosk into a retail store to see how it performs.


We have an opportunity to work with the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI) to conduct a human factors study on the kiosk.  The study would best be performed in a store, preferably a supermarket.  We will share the valuable information gathered with the retailer as additional proof-of-concept and product validation. 


ConnectEKO wants to deliver the very best service and the perfect solution to fit your needs.  That’s why we are always looking for candid feedback and conversations with retailers and consumers - to gain more insight and make things better.  Please click the links above to take our quick surveys!
