A rating system also allows you and your users to automotically promote most popular games in your café.
Let’s not forget the high level of customization that can be achieved with Gizmo Skin, allowing you to create a unique identity for your business.
Personal Storage
Give customers the space they need
Don’t you wish you could create a personal drive for your VIP customers with a predefined size (quota), without having to mess around with batch files, system permissions and windows os limitations? Gizmo allows you just that.
With Gizmo you can offer your users a secure and easy-to-access personal storage. Unlike Smartlaunch file backup system, Gizmo is not NFS based but implemented as a Virtual File System. This allows you to provide storage to the user as a normal hard drive. It also removes any need for shares and user accounts on your Server machine, eliminating the security risks involved with using the same user account from different machines. Personal Storage can even redirect common user’s folders such as “My Documents” and Users’ Desktop, to a network location, thus allowing the user’s profile to roam on any machine in your café
Personal User Files
Save customers' game progress/addons/settings hassle free
Gizmo’s puf system is fully compatible with Smartlaunch’s, allowing for a smooth transition. With Gizmo, personal user files and all operations are more stable and faster, users have direct & easy access to them with shortcuts (optional) and can even backup their profile to external hard drives or flash disks*.
Powerful filtering system enables you to save only those user files that you need, and even select individual compression quality in order to minimize server disk usage.
Application Deployment
Installation on Demand made easy
Wouldn’t you like to have all your games and application in one place? Install new software on a client and easily copy it to the rest? Keep older games on a file server and never again delete them just to make room for newer?
Well, Gizmo enables you to do just that. Host your games and applications on any file server and Gizmo will deploy them to your Client computers dynamically when needed. Update your server copy and let Gizmo synchronize any differences automatically. Of course you can always manually deploy them, even using Multicast data distribution. And to top that, Gizmo will clean the hard drive when it runs out of space by deleting less used applications.
Custom tasks & Notifications
Inform, warn & guide customers with pop up notifications
Let's face it, some games are hard even to launch and customers rarely bother reading your notes on the game's description. With custom notifications you can notify the customer about a game's launch procedure, put up a temporary virtual "sign" that a game's server is temporarily down for maintenance or even welcome them with a popup note on this week's offers! Custom tasks on the other hand allow you to launch a pre-made script or executable at specific points of a game's launch routine enabling you to automate even the hardest of them
License Management

Gizmo License management system is plugin-based, making the procedure of supporting new applications easier and faster. Gizmo already supports all the fundamental License Management schemes like Process, Registry or Maximum application Instances and of course Steam, Origin, Uplay, Battle.Net, Epic & more!
