The Technology Behind IVK
User-Focused Experience and Accessibility
The IVK has been meticulously engineered to ensure a seamless and accessible experience for all users. Its intuitive
touchscreen interface guides donors through the process, enabling them to easily browse causes, select donation
options, and confirm transactions. The interface is designed to reduce friction and eliminate confusion, encouraging
engagement at every step.
Versatile Payment Integration
Each IVK is outfitted with an integrated EFTPOS terminal, supporting a comprehensive range of payment methods. The robust security protocols underpinning each transaction ensure donors’ peace of mind and foster confidence in the giving process.
Customisable Branding and Messaging
Organisations benefit from a highly configurable digital and physical presence with the IVK.
The exterior and touchscreen display can be tailored to include logos, campaign messaging, and imagery, providing a cohesive brand experience.
On-screen content can be updated to match new events or campaign objectives, ensuring relevance across diverse settings.
Real-Time Content and Reporting
The IVK’s remote management system allows real-time updates and content scheduling, ensuring campaigns remain agile and relevant. Organisers have access to transparent analytics dashboards, delivering insights into donor behaviour, transaction volumes, and campaign effectiveness.
Inclusive and Accessible Design
Thoughtful design considerations ensure the IVK is accessible to all users, including those with mobility limitations. Its interface, display height, and navigational features comply with accessibility standards, supporting universal participation.
Portability, Durability and Impactful Presence
A key distinguishing feature of the IVK is its freestanding and highly portable design. The kiosk is constructed with durable materials, engineered to withstand the rigours of frequent relocation and high-traffic environments. Portable wheels and
locking mechanisms allow effortless movement from venue to venue, supporting roving campaigns and maximising exposure.
The impactful floor-standing appearance commands attention in any setting—be it a shopping centre, stadium, or community event. Strategic placement amplifies both the visual presence and the opportunity to reach new audiences.

Educational Benefits & Awareness Building
The IVK serves not only as a conduit for donations but also as a robust educational platform. Charities can share in-depth information about their missions, objectives, and the communities they serve directly through the kiosk interface. Donors are presented with thoughtfully curated narratives, impact statements, and specific stories that illustrate why their support is vital.
By providing access to detailed profiles for each participating charity—including background, current initiatives, and measurable outcomes—the IVK encourages donors to make well-informed decisions. This transparency not only builds trust but also raises public consciousness around pressing societal issues.
For organisations focused on advocacy or raising awareness for niche or emerging causes, the IVK becomes an indispensable educational tool. Interactive screens can display multimedia content, FAQs, and real-time updates, helping charities reach broader audiences and foster lasting understanding and advocacy well beyond the initial act of giving.
Donors respond strongly to seeing the tangible impact of their contributions, such as meals provided or books purchased for a child in need. The IVK harnesses visual storytelling to facilitate emotional engagement and foster generosity.
The kiosk simplifies giving and ensures that 100% of donations go directly to the chosen cause, creating trust and removing common barriers to charitable action. Donors appreciate a seamless transaction process via touchscreens and multiple payment methods. The kiosk offers an efficient, effortless experience. With clear information about where their donations go, donors feel confident in their contributions.
