Smylies, a leading UK food export company, wanted to make better use of its existing screens and introduce a more efficient way to share information throughout its workplace. We delivered an integrated digital signage solution, bringing existing and new displays onto one centrally managed platform to support clearer, more consistent internal communications.
The Challenge
Smylies had screens installed across its offices, warehouse and canteen, but many were switched off or rarely used.
Those that were in operation relied on separate systems, with content updates managed manually. This made it difficult to keep information consistent and up to date across different areas of the business.
The company wanted a more practical way to share business dashboards, company announcements and health and safety information, with content tailored to the employees using each space.
Importantly, Smylies also wanted to maximise the value of its existing displays rather than replace equipment unnecessarily.
Delivering the Solution
We designed and installed a digital signage solution using NowSignage, bringing existing and new displays together on a single content management platform.
To make use of Smylies’ existing screens, we installed Giada media players, enabling the displays to run NowSignage without needing to be replaced.
New iiyama displays with built-in system-on-chip technology were also introduced, allowing the signage software to run directly without additional external media players.
The result is a consistent digital signage setup across the workplace, regardless of whether the screens are new or existing.
Relevant Information, Where It’s Needed
With screens positioned throughout the offices, warehouse and canteen, Smylies can now tailor content to different locations and audiences.
From business performance dashboards and company updates to important health and safety messages, information can be displayed in the areas where it is most relevant.
The NowSignage platform allows content to be managed and updated centrally, removing the need to maintain each screen individually and helping the team keep communications consistent across the site.
The Impact
Smylies now has a more practical and efficient way to communicate with employees across its workplace. Previously underused screens have been brought into a connected digital signage network, providing dedicated spaces for sharing important information throughout the working day.
Centralised content management makes it easier to update messages and maintain consistency, while location-specific content helps ensure employees receive information relevant to their working environment.
By reusing existing displays alongside new iiyama screens, Smylies has also extended the value of its existing technology investment. The result is a flexible digital signage solution that supports more effective workplace communication without unnecessary equipment replacement.
