Platinum Award-winning self-service kiosk extends the reach and opening hours of your library
D-Tech International Ltd., a leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of technology solutions, has received a platinum award in LibraryWorks’ tenth annual Modern Library Awards (MLAs).
The MLAs were created to recognize the top products and services in the library industry in an unbiased format. Products and services were submitted and sent to the LibraryWorks database of more than 80,000 librarians at public, K-12, academic, and special libraries. Crucially, only customers with experience of using the products/services in their facilities were permitted to judge, resulting in a reliable score.
D-Tech’s popular self-service kiosk, holdIT, scored an impressive 8.84 out of ten from the judges, awarding it platinum distinction. Each judge scored holdIT on a series of questions regarding the quality of product and service, functionality, competitiveness and overall customer satisfaction.
Marvin Crisp, Founder and Owner of D-Tech, said: “We’re delighted to receive a platinum award in the MLAs. It’s great to see that holdIT has had such an impact on the libraries we work with, especially in allowing them to extend their services to communities beyond opening hours.
“I’d like to express my sincere thanks to all our customers, including the judges, who deliver a great service to their patrons. We are very grateful for this award and the opportunity to share the level of service libraries can expect from working with us.”
