Self-Service Telecom Kiosk & Digital Onboarding Platform for a Regional Telecom Provider

Client Type: Enterprise Telecommunications Provider
Region: Middle East
Sector: Telecommunications & Digital Services
Organization Type: Large-Scale Enterprise

The end client is a regional telecommunications provider offering mobile, connectivity and digital services to a diverse customer base.

As part of its digital-service programme, the organisation introduced self-service kiosks to make selected customer onboarding, SIM and account-related services available through guided digital journeys in public and service locations.

Business Objective

The objective was to develop a self-service application that could support identity-sensitive telecom services through an integrated kiosk experience.

The platform needed to coordinate customer interactions, identity-document scanning, biometric checks, backend validations, SIM and eSIM processes, notifications and receipt generation.

Key challenges included:

Supporting digital customer onboarding through unattended kiosks
Simplifying SIM and visitor-line activation journeys
Integrating identity-document scanning and data extraction
Supporting camera-based face and liveness checks
Connecting with telecom, identity and partner systems
Providing real-time validation and transaction-status handling
Maintaining complete transaction logs for audit and traceability
Delivering clear workflows for first-time and walk-in users

Project Overview

Through a partner-led engagement, the delivery team contributed to the development of a self-service kiosk and web-based application for high-volume telecom operations.

The solution enabled eligible customers to complete selected activities such as purchasing SIM cards, activating visitor lines, managing prepaid accounts and performing account-related actions.

The platform combined AngularJS-based kiosk interfaces with .NET backend services, document-scanning devices, camera-based verification, external-system integrations and customer-notification services.

Each journey guided the customer through service selection, identity capture, validation, transaction processing, confirmation and session completion.

Case Study Topics

Services Enabled Through the Kiosk

The self-service platform enabled customers to complete a range of telecom operations, including:

SIM & Visitor Services

  • Purchasing eligible SIM products
  • Activating visitor lines
  • Supporting SIM and eSIM reservation workflows
  • Capturing the required customer and service information
  • Presenting confirmations and transaction status

Customer Onboarding

  • Scanning passports, GCC IDs and Emirates IDs
  • Extracting relevant identity information
  • Displaying captured details for customer confirmation
  • Submitting information for backend validation
  • Supporting applicable onboarding and activation workflows

Identity Verification

  • Document-based identity validation
  • Camera-assisted face verification
  • Liveness-check workflows where required
  • Handling validation responses and exception scenarios
  • Maintaining records required for transaction traceability

Account & Subscription Services

  • Supporting selected prepaid-account activities
  • Processing eligible subscription actions
  • Checking applicable account or balance information
  • Managing confirmation and completion workflows
  • Supporting account-cessation journeys where applicable

Notifications & Receipts

  • Sending transaction confirmations through SMS
  • Sending applicable email notifications
  • Displaying transaction status on screen
  • Generating or printing receipts where supported
  • Closing the customer session after completion

Scope of Work

SilwaTech’s responsibilities covered both user experience design and backend integration, including:

Kiosk Interface Development

  • Developed guided, multi-step workflows using AngularJS
  • Designed service journeys for unattended kiosk usage
  • Created consistent navigation across different customer services
  • Implemented clear instructions, confirmations and error messages
  • Optimised screens and controls for touch-based interaction

Identity-Document Integration

  • Integrated document scanners and supported Desko devices
  • Enabled reading of passports, GCC IDs and Emirates IDs
  • Displayed extracted identity information for confirmation
  • Managed unsuccessful scans and incomplete-data scenarios
  • Passed validated information into the relevant service workflows

Biometric Verification

  • Integrated kiosk cameras into applicable identity journeys
  • Supported face and liveness-verification processes
  • Coordinated verification results with backend workflows
  • Managed unsuccessful or incomplete verification scenarios
  • Provided appropriate user instructions and status messages

Backend & External-System Integration

  • Connected the kiosk frontend with .NET backend services
  • Integrated identity-validation processes
  • Supported telecom order-processing workflows
  • Connected SIM and eSIM reservation services
  • Integrated applicable account and balance checks
  • Coordinated responses from external telecom and partner systems

Transaction Management

  • Implemented transaction-status handling
  • Supported confirmation, failure and retry scenarios
  • Maintained transaction records for traceability
  • Managed environment-specific service parameters
  • Supported configurable endpoints, timeouts and operating modes

Notifications & Session Management

  • Integrated SMS and email notification services
  • Supported on-screen and printed confirmations
  • Managed session completion and automatic reset
  • Prepared the kiosk for the next customer interaction
  • Reduced the risk of one customer’s information remaining visible to the next user

Customer Journey

The kiosk experience followed a structured sequence:

  1. The customer selected an available service.
  2. The application presented the required steps and information.
  3. Identity documents were scanned where required.
  4. Extracted details were displayed for customer confirmation.
  5. Face or liveness verification was initiated where applicable.
  6. Backend systems validated the information and processed the request.
  7. The customer received an on-screen, SMS, email or printed confirmation.
  8. The session ended and the kiosk returned to its initial state.

Key Delivery Challenges

Identity-Sensitive Transactions

The application handled personal identity information and biometric-verification steps. Each workflow required controlled data handling, clear consent and reliable communication with the relevant validation services.

Multiple Device Integrations

The kiosk needed to coordinate touch-screen input, document scanners, cameras and printers within a single customer journey.

Complex External Integrations

Different services depended on telecom, identity and partner systems. The application needed to manage real-time requests, responses, timeouts and exception scenarios consistently.

Unattended Customer Experience

Customers needed to complete services without staff assistance. Instructions, validations and recovery paths therefore had to be understandable for first-time users.

Transaction Traceability

Service requests and system responses needed to be logged in a structured manner to support operational investigation and audit requirements.

Session Privacy

Each session needed to end cleanly so that customer information was not displayed or carried into the next kiosk interaction.

Solution Approach

The solution was structured around guided service journeys supported by reusable interface components, integrated backend processing and configurable external-system connections.

Guided Workflows

Each service was divided into clear stages covering service selection, identity capture, validation, processing, confirmation and completion.

Integrated Identity Journey

Document scanning, extracted-data confirmation and biometric-verification steps were incorporated directly into the relevant customer workflows.

Service-Oriented Backend

.NET services handled business rules, integration logic, validations, transaction processing and communication with external systems.

Configurable Integration Layer

Environment-specific parameters such as endpoints, timeouts and operating modes were managed through configurable settings.

Structured Error Handling

The application provided appropriate messages and recovery paths for scan failures, validation errors, unavailable services and unsuccessful transactions.

Transaction Logging

Relevant requests, responses and transaction events were recorded to support traceability and operational troubleshooting.
