Healthcare: waiting will be fun again with digital signage.

If there’s anything that is waited for, frequently and for long periods, it’s in the healthcare sector. Hospitals, pharmacies, general practitioners, and care centers can no longer do without digital signage. Digital signage provides entertainment and information for the waiting room. An integrated sequence number system ensures efficiency. Thanks to user-friendly software and useful widgets, everyone, including the receptionist, can be able to operate the digital signage system.

Education: A textbook example of digital signage

Wouldn’t you like to communicate with large groups via digital signage? If so, then take a look at the education sector. Various national educational institutions use digital signage to provide information to large groups of pupils and parents. Simple enough for a child to use, yet quick and effective enough for your administration or communication team to master. Various locations can be controlled from a central dashboard. Sudden changes in the timetable, directions to classrooms, the announcement of a parents’ evening, and study days, are quickly and easily communicated via digital signage. Just like public transport arrival and departure times: thanks to the screen information, everyone knows where they should be and what to do.

Digital signage in retail

Digital signage is also an indispensable part of retail. From the supermarket to tobacco shops and from fashion chains to shopping centers: digital signage makes shopping a better experience. In the driving seat and control, you can immediately respond to events. Meanwhile, pre-set playlists provide an automatic flow of information. Link your social account to digital signage and allow your customers to enjoy your likes, shares, and thumbs up in real-time. Boost the atmosphere (and your turnover) by displaying cool videos during quieter hours. It’s also a great way to increase your reach. Highlight key stock items via your screens and sell more. Need to grab people’s attention? With a screen in your shop window, you’ll catch their eye! Looking for passing trade? The display offers on your screens and shows what’s going on inside!

Digital signage in Catering: a welcome guest

Digital signage has won a permanent place in the Dutch catering industry. And that is not without good reason. It’s a sign of good hospitality to serve guests with entertainment, information, news, and current traffic information. Customers not only appreciate it, these days they expect you to inform and entertain them. So grab your chance. Here’s your opportunity! With live TV you can transform your location into a stadium and include your promotions: primetime on the big screen! Pamper your guests and provide a personal welcome or display menu suggestions for them. Every space is an opportunity. For example, large brands have now found their way into bathrooms

Great for internal communication!

Employees want to take the extra step because they know what’s going on. Share the latest presentations, link social media channels, and show what’s going on online.

Thanks to user-friendly software, you can switch at lightning speed. Using widgets and links, information automatically streams onto the screens. Our user-friendly software allows your receptionist, communications, or HR employee to easily keep all the information up to date.
