We have two plans to fit in your business.

The One-Shop Plan is a plan for the typical local bakery or butcher in your village with one building and location.
You can manage all your monitors in your store with this plan.

The other plan, Brand plan is for companies that have multiple locations of their store with each store having monitors.
There are two options in this plan:

  • One administrator that manages and edits everything from the headquarters
  • One administrator per location that can manage and edit every display in their own location

The administrator in the headquarters can still manage everything even if each location has their own administration. He manages all users and has the option to enable the media approval module to approve all presentations that are uploaded to their server.

To buy a plan, click on it and click again on Sign Up Now to add it to the shopping cart and then view cart.

Check your order and press proceed checkout.

Fill in the form and choose your payment method

Proceed and further and when the payment is done keep your mail open to receive the order confirmation.

Secondly, there are players. These are your monitors or displays with a windows computer. Your media files will be stored on here if scheduled.
On your players you can add channels and in the channel you have to add playlists with your media files.

To understand this we have an easy example.

Everyone knows how a schedule from your television looks like.
You have the channels and in each channel there are movies and shows, they are your playlists.
In these playlists are a piece of the movie and a piece of the advertisement in between the movie.
The pieces are your media files.
