Could you elaborate on the features that empower users to have full control over their digital fleet?


Signage Player offers users the ability to create playlists, giving them the autonomy to curate content in a way that best suits their communication strategy. The platform facilitates easy scheduling, allowing users to plan content delivery ahead of time. Triggers and dayparts add an extra layer of customization, enabling dynamic content changes based on specific events or times of day. The Share of Voice feature lets users manage and optimize content distribution across their digital fleet effectively.

Share of voice.. tell us more.


Share of voice refers to the percentage of total available advertising space or airtime that a specific content occupies within the platform. This metric is often calculated based on the duration, frequency, and placement of a particular piece of content compared to the overall content displayed on the digital signage network.
In our digital signage platform Signage Player, administrators can allocate specific time slots, screen locations, or other parameters for displaying content. The share of voice is a quantitative measure that indicates how much of this allocated space is dedicated to a particular message compared to others.

What does “Full Scale Monitoring” mean for users, and how does it enhance their experience with Signage Player?


Full Scale Monitoring provides users with real-time insights into the performance and health of their digital fleet. From the status of individual screens to the overall network health, users can ensure that their content is being displayed as intended. This level of visibility is crucial for troubleshooting, optimizing, and maintaining a seamless digital signage experience.

How does Signage Player address the diverse needs of businesses in terms of content management and delivery?


Signage Player’s versatile architecture and features cater to a wide range of industries. Whether you’re in retail, QSR, gas station, education, or any other sector, our platform adapts to your needs. The API-first architecture ensures easy integration with existing systems, while the robust content management features offer flexibility in creating and delivering engaging content.
