Running a successful business requires a considerable amount of resources and team management. In the digital era, there have been major developments to help streamline nearly every area of these processes, including digital signage and displays.

A content management system organizes and facilitates every major digital component of your business’ operation. We’ve made you this quick guide to show you the importance of a great CMS and how to apply it to your digital signage

Tools and Capabilities

Content Playlisting

Content Playlisting allows users to organize and curate any of their informative or digital campaign media into organized presentations. These presentations can then be set to run at specific times depending on food traffic and campaign strategies. By curating and scheduling playlists your content will have a stronger impact on viewers and displays can be designed and delivered with extra precision.

Screen Group Functionality

Managing multiple display units need not be an overwhelming task. With screen grouping functionality you will be able to implement your campaigns across all your screens simultaneously, saving you precious time and resources. Screens can also be placed in series and have designs displayed in the linked mode for larger and more dynamic visual content.

Screen Monitoring and Health Updates

Maintenance and service of screens have also become a simplified process thanks to our screen monitoring and health update system. Each screen constantly runs checks on its own performance and can deliver any important alerts or reports in case a unit requires some attention or repair. This function will also save you redundant expenses on general service costs.

Multiple Format Support

Our CMS is designed to host a variety of media formats from audio and imagery to full HD video. You will be able to quickly and seamlessly upload and share your media into our cloud storage without having to wait and gamble on tedious media conversions and excessive formatting.
