XONA Media Announces X-Suite 5.0, Next Generation Management Platform for Movie Kiosks

Advanced software sets new standard for turnkey management
of distributed kiosk networks.

XONA Media, developer of the world’s only movie kiosk capable of both traditional disc retail as well as digital media downloads – announced the release of X-Suite 5.0. This next generation management platform for movie and game kiosks offers an unparalleled set of comprehensive features to enable new operators to compete in the fast-growing DVD, game and digital movie kiosk markets. Rapid Growth, New Challenges

In just a few years, rentals from DVD kiosks have surpassed Netflix, while pushing former leaders, Blockbuster and Hollywood Video into bankruptcy. Over 10,000 video stores have shuttered, shifting billions of dollars in movie rentals and tens of millions of customers to DVD kiosks and Netflix.

“The entire industry has been caught off guard by the overnight success of automated DVD rental kiosks,” said Pete Popcke, Chief Operating Officer of XONA Media. “In today’s economic environment, consumers demand convenience and value — and are increasingly dissatisfied with the old choices.”

Turnkey Management Platform

Without the capabilities of X-Suite 5.0, entrepreneurs and operating companies could not effectively challenge national chains like Redbox and NCR. XONA Media’s new X-Suite 5.0 software platform represents the next generation, enterprise class, full featured software suite, providing both large and small operators with the industry-leading management tools to maintain real-time control of a dynamic retail network.

“Business operators must have tools and systems that enable effective management, as there’s no room for costly inefficiencies,” added Popcke.

Capabilities of XONA X-Suite 5.0:

The release of X-Suite 5.0 compliments XONA Media’s breakthrough MK3, the world’s first “hybrid” Entertainment Kiosk, an integrated solution capable of renting and selling physical disc DVDs, Bluray movies and games, as well as offering the fastest downloading of digital movies, TV shows, or other digital media.
