Custom Games, Touchscreens
+ Builds

Custom-built systems for immersive brand experiences—where we fuse software + hardware into one reliable activation: touchscreens, sensors, RFID, cameras, lighting, and real-time data pipelines.

Custom-Built Tech That Powers Engagement
From Behind The Scenes

We build software specifically for live events—touchscreen apps, scoring systems, wayfinding, identity workflows, and the backend that makes it all reliable under real-world load. And we don’t stop at code: we integrate the physical layer (displays, scanners, RFID readers, sensors, cameras, LEDs) so the experience feels seamless and runs predictably on site. Whether we’re integrating with your API or building from scratch, our builds are stable, scalable, and designed to make activations unforgettable.

Forget Templates.
Let’s Build Something Wild

From custom-built games and touchscreen displays to mobile apps and touring tech kits, we design interactive experiences that grab attention—and make it work flawlessly on site.

Where Hardware Meets Software

We design systems that seamlessly connect touchscreen displays, sensors, lighting, cameras, and RFID with the custom software that powers the experience—so everything behaves like one product, not a pile of parts.

Bring Your Big Idea To Life

Whether you’re starting from a sketch or a full client brief, we’ll help you shape the concept, prototype the experience, and ship a finished product that works on time.

Built For Compliance And Connectivity

Our platforms can be built with consent capture and scoped data sharing, work offline when needed, and integrate with your CRM, API, or lead capture system.

Project Proof

Software That Carries a Live Activation

Each build below is a real PivotXP case study — custom code paired with the physical layer, deployed on-site, and held together by the same idea: software that disappears into the experience.

What’s on the quote

What’s on a custom build quote.

Concept deck in, line-item budget out within 24 hours. These are the lines that estimate is built from, so you can sanity-check a brief before the kickoff call.

Every estimate is built from these same lines, so nothing shows up on the quote that you have not seen here. Send dates, city, and what you need and you will have a line-item estimate the same business day.

Live custom leaderboard

Branded TV or LED view, iPad entry, ranking rules, prize windows, exports.

Sweepstakes / spin-to-win microsite

Official rules support, PII capture, admin export, and hosting for the program term.

Custom kiosk software

Trivia, quizzes, configurators: touchscreen app, admin panel, analytics. Hardware listed separately.

Sensor games + button walls

Touring builds including fabrication, road cases, and testing.

Software redeploy for a returning program

New creative, new dates, same proven build.

PivotXP tech on site

Optional, priced per day. Hard-panel builds are designed to run with your tour manager.

Travel

Billed at cost, with a typical range quoted before you commit.

If something goes wrong on site

Either we are standing next to it, or we fix it remotely.

Every build is hosted online and every unit is reachable by our team, so most issues are handled from our desk while your event keeps running. For programs where the client is in the room, a multi-unit footprint, or a first live day, we put a PivotXP tech on site. Which one fits depends on the event, and we tell you at the quote stage.

Lead times

How much runway each kind of project needs.

Kiosk or Starlink rental

Ships the next business day after the contract is signed, timed to arrive before your setup date.

Brand an existing kiosk

About 4 weeks. Wrap art, overlays, share page, and AI creative. Templates due at kickoff.

Custom software build

About 6 weeks, plus 3–5 days of scenario testing before it ships.

Hardware + software concept

8 weeks or more. Fabrication, sensors, cases, and software built together.

Clickable prototype for a pitch

Days. Enough to win the room before anything is built.

Tight timeline? Say so on the form. Rentals and returning programs move in days; we will tell you honestly what a new build can hit.

Data, privacy + AI

What we capture, where it lives, and how you get it.

Guest data belongs to your client. We hold it only as long as the program needs, deliver it as a clean export, purge PII after close, and disclose exactly where AI is used. The plain-language version is one page.
