GL Financial selects FireCast Linux kiosk software for new home pricing kiosk
September 2, 2003

GL Financial Services, the mortgage company for top 100 builder GL Homes, has chosen FireCast Linux kiosk software to power its interactive home pricing kiosk. This system allows prospective buyers to learn about available homes and receive real-time quotes for a variety of mortgage options. After identifying their favorite homes, customers can print a highly informative take-home sheet with features, pricing, and mortgage options -- helping simplify the often complex purchase decision. Following the initial deployment to the Canyon Lakes community in Boynton Beach, FL the system will likely be extended to other GL Homes properties. In addition to its FireCast Linux kiosk software platform, WireSpring also provided a variety of kiosk and digital signage consulting services to GL Financial, including project management and application development.
