Bringing Riotouch to Sri Lanka: A Local Distributor's Nationwide Rollout
Getting an interactive panel into a classroom is one thing. Getting an entire school system comfortable enough to actually use it is another challenge entirely — and it’s exactly the gap our exclusive distributor in Sri Lanka has been closing, session by session, school by school.
Training First, Hardware Second
Over the past year, our Sri Lankan distributor has run a series of product briefings and hands-on training sessions for school staff across the country, walking teachers and administrators through the Riotouch RK3576, RK3588, and S15 series panels — how they work, what they can do in a classroom, and how to get comfortable with them before a single unit is installed.

This training-first approach has paid off. Rather than dropping a shipment of new displays onto teachers and hoping for the best, the distributor built understanding and buy-in first — which is a big part of why the rollout across the country has grown to several hundred units installed in schools nationwide.
Scaling Up Across the Country
Beyond individual school sessions, the distributor has also presented Riotouch’s interactive smartboard solutions at larger industry and enterprise events, introducing the RK3576, RK3588, and S15 lineup to a wider audience of educators and decision-makers across Sri Lanka.

That combination — grassroots classroom training plus broader market presentations — is what’s allowed the distributor to move from a handful of pilot installations to several hundred panels deployed in schools across the country, with more rollouts in the pipeline.
What This Means for Other Schools and Partners
For schools elsewhere in Sri Lanka considering a switch to interactive panels, this kind of track record answers the question that usually matters most: does it actually work once the sales team leaves the room? With several hundred units already running in classrooms nationwide, the answer speaks for itself.
For distributors in other markets, it’s also a useful blueprint: real adoption doesn’t come from hardware alone, it comes from investing in the training and support that gets a whole institution on board.
