Digital signage for shops, pharmacies and companies

Content updated remotely on one or more screens, organised into schedules and time slots: screens, software, content and support as a single system.

A shop with digital screens switched on

A printed sign stays the same for weeks, and every change of price or promotion means printing again. A screen with no system behind it, on the other hand, ends up showing the same video forever.

How it works

Content is uploaded remotely to the platform, organised into playlists and scheduled by time slot: one offer in the morning, another at lunchtime, another in the evening. From there it reaches one screen or every location at once, and monitoring tells you whether each one is actually playing.

Where it works best

In shop windows, where a changing message gets noticed more than a still sign. In pharmacies, for rotas, services and campaigns. In food service, where the menu changes during the day. In offices and waiting rooms, to inform the people waiting.

See it working, in Palermo

Our installations are in the city: in a shop window in Mondello, in outdoor seating areas and on the streets of Palermo. And in the Piazza Diodoro Siculo showroom the screens are switched on, so you can judge them in person before deciding.

From the site survey to support

We study the space, the light and the viewing distances; we define technology, size and positioning; we handle mounting, configuration and testing; we produce and schedule the content; and we look after the system over time, stepping in when needed.

Frequently asked questions

Who updates what appears on the screens?

Content is managed remotely, from a single place, without standing in front of the screen. It is organised into schedules and time slots, so the right message appears on its own when it should.

The company that owns the installation can do this, or FB Digital Solutions can: content management is one of the steps we cover.

Do the contents have to be ready beforehand?

No. Producing the content is one of the steps we cover, alongside analysis, design, installation and support.

A screen switched on with nothing to show is a cost, not a tool: that is why content is not a separate service but part of the project.

Can several locations be managed at once?

Yes. From one place you publish the same content to every location, or different content to each.

It is the main reason a company with several shops moves to digital: a promotion starts everywhere at the same moment, with nothing to ship and nobody to ask to change a sign.

What is the difference between a professional display and a television?

A domestic television is designed for a few hours a day. Professional displays are rated for continuous operation, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Brightness is also far higher, and so is control: content updates remotely and can be scheduled by time slot, which a television cannot do.

What happens after installation?

The installation stays looked after: support and management are part of the process, they do not end on handover day.

On the products that offer it there is also device status monitoring, which reports a fault instead of leaving the customer to notice. Across a distributed network that is the difference between knowing and not knowing that a screen is down.
