Builder Agent
Unwrap and build your screens, live on the device
Builder Agent is Desktop’s silent partner; it resides on each self-service device and receives and unwraps your optimised screen package, then renders your screens ready for display.
Builder Agent automatically deciphers and decompresses your files once they reach the ATM, then builds the entire screen set ‘live’ on the device, to the required display format for each device.
This action takes place ‘behind the scenes’ with you dictating how and when it happens, giving processing priority to customer transactions and withdrawals, ensuring consistent, uninterrupted service to your customers.
Builder’s ability to massively reduce the download size of screen sets, combined with Agent’s efficient build process, means that updates to screen content can be distributed and implemented quickly and cost-effectively, even with significant bandwidth restrictions.
Builder’s impressive compression ability
Builder delivers your files to the ATM faster and more efficiently than any other method, and this is achieved because of its proven ability to massively compress graphical files and build instructions, without compromise. Here is a typical example:
| Original file | Standard zipping | Builder compression | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screen set file size | 36MB | 33MB | 1MB |
| File reduction | 8% | 97% | |
| Download time | 41 hours | 37 hours | 1 hour & 15 minutes |
