Success Stories

Situated in the mountains of Western North Carolina, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, Blowing Rock is home to just over 1,200 permanent residents. While their full-time population is slight, the town welcomes thousands of visitors and tourists from across the country every year. When looking for a way to engage visitors and locals alike, while also bridging the information gap that exists outside of weekday business hours, the Blowing Rock Tourism Development Authority enlisted Meridian’s help to develop an interactive digital signage solution.

Innovare partnered with Meridian to design a kiosk solution that incorporates both digital signage and electronic device charging for cell phones, tablets, and computers. This solution was designed to build upon Innovare’s traditional digital signage offerings, which include branded murals and wall-mounted LCD panels.

Direct General Insurance partnered with Meridian to create a first-of-its-kind insurance kiosk. The unique kiosk solution has the capability to produce auto insurance quotations in under 60 seconds, and affords drivers the opportunity to walk away with a fully binding policy in under 5 minutes. In addition to producing quotes, the solution also enables drivers to maintain their existing Direct General policies, pay bills on their policies, and reinstate lapsed policies.

GoMoto simplifies the car-buying process by helping customers easily navigate the check-in process, current incentives, equipment, brochures and inventory via a kiosk-based solution.

The solutions are fully ADA complaint and accessible to all individuals, regardless of visual impairments, hearing impairments or reach restrictions.

Opus Inspection partnered with Meridian to create emissions-testing kiosks. The robust outdoor solutions perform the same test technicians perform at full-service stations but do it at unattended, self-service kiosks, providing a new convenience for drivers.

IKEA partnered with Meridian to create an efficient application process for consumer credit. The self-service solution was built using the MzeroSoftware Suite and integrated with GE Consumer Credit.

A National Marine Sanctuary is a federally designated area in U.S. oceans or Great Lakes waters that spotlights special places in the marine environment. For nearly 50 years, national marine sanctuaries have worked to protect those places. In consideration of that tremendous responsibility, the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries wanted to use those centers to bring the sanctuaries to life for its visitors. So in 2006, as part of an effort to increase its education and outreach offerings, the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries embarked on a project to deploy interactive touchscreen kiosks in its visitor centers.

The American Heart Association partnered with Meridian to create a kid-friendly user experience for the Halle Heart Children’s Museum. The kiosks guide museum visitors through an educational video tour.
