Client overview
Our client is a leading digital signage provider serving retail stores, restaurants, corporate offices, educational institutes, healthcare facilities, and shopping centers across multiple locations.
They needed a cloud-based SaaS platform to remotely manage LED screens, schedule content, create playlists, display widgets, and control hundreds of displays from a single dashboard—with support for Android TV and Amazon Fire Stick devices.
Problem statement
Managing content across hundreds of screens was becoming increasingly difficult:
- Manual content updates — Updating advertisements required physical intervention at each screen
- No centralized management — Content had to be managed screen-by-screen with no unified control plane
- Difficult scheduling — Clients could not automate promotional campaigns or time-based content rotation
- Limited content flexibility — No ability to split screens or run multiple campaigns simultaneously
- Poor scalability — Managing multiple locations became operationally expensive as the network grew
- Fragmented device support — Different players and smart TV platforms required separate workflows
Our solution
We designed and developed a complete digital signage ecosystem consisting of an admin web platform, Android TV application, and Amazon Fire Stick compatibility—built as a multi-tenant SaaS product for scale.
