Digital signage for multi-branch businesses: managing it from one login

A business with screens in several branches faces the same question whether it sells houses, flooring or coffee: who changes what, and how does head office know it's right?

One dashboard, access by branch

Every screen in every branch sits in one browser dashboard. Accounts are invite-only. Tell us who needs access and to which branches, and we set up their logins. A branch manager sees their own branch's screens, and someone at head office can be given all of them.

Each screen has its own content

Each screen has its own playlist, so a window screen and a counter screen in the same shop can show different things, and a branch can run a local offer without touching anyone else's screens. For estate agents, each screen can be limited to its own postcodes, so every branch window shows local stock.

There's no group setting that pushes one change to many screens. A change that applies everywhere is made on each screen. What is shared is the media library: images and videos are uploaded once for the whole business, so a branch can use head office's artwork without anyone emailing files around.

Keeping the brand consistent

On estate agent screens, the property slides, QR codes and badges carry your logo and colours. We set those once for the whole business, so every branch's window matches. Everything else is only as consistent as the artwork behind it, so the simplest rule is that head office makes the slides that run everywhere.

What head office can see

The dashboard shows which screens are working or offline and names any problem. We monitor every screen. If one goes offline, crashes or goes dark, we're alerted and we act. A change saved in the dashboard reaches its screen within 15 minutes.

Where it goes wrong

A common failure is head office trying to control every slide. Branch managers get frustrated, print their own posters, and the window ends up worse than before. A better split: head office owns the brand artwork and the slides that run everywhere, and each branch owns its local offers.
