The d|sign software is the core of our business, we offer scalable and flexible digital signage solutions so that you can achieve your maximum potential with digital signage, expanding the system as you discover new uses within your organisation without buying elements that you don't need.

As a leading independent supplier of audio visual and computing equipment we have the experience to advise you of the options available to you without being tied to a single manufacturer. We use multiple distributors to help ensure maximum range and availability and to get you the best price. All hardware comes with a manufacturer's warranty which can also usually be extended if desired.
d|sign is not hardware dependent like some solutions, so you are not paying a premium for bespoke, black box products that have no future value. Should you wish to upgrade or replace the hardware in the future the equipment will usually be of a nature that you are already familiar with and therefore the ongoing cost of ownership is reduced.
We can also work with you to assess if any of your existing hardware can be used within your new digital signage system, lowering the cost of implementation.
Should you choose us to carry out the physical installation of equipment for your system, be it screens, projectors or whiteboards; associated computers and any distribution and additional hardware, you can be sure of experienced installation engineers that will work within the environmental constraints with minimal disruption to your work place.
All installations are subject to a site survey, carried out by phone for simpler installations and an on-site visit for larger more complex jobs.
Software installation is normally carried out by the clients IT department, there are a number of different ways to install the software and the most suitable for your IT environment and the size of the solution will be discussed with your IT representative in advance, phone and remote desktop support for installation is included by default and on site software installation can also be arranged if required.
Clients often have useful content available to them from internal, external and public sources. These feeds can be used to automatically supplement any content you put into the system and can be an engaging source of dynamic and fresh content every day or in real time.
Obvious sources include streaming video or live television and RSS feeds from the internet, but many clients also have information reporting systems on their network that can provide information and statistics which can be used as screen content, in the past we have helped clients integrate with live databases, call centre systems, productivity reports, power usage statistics and a large number of other data that they wish to have automatically displaying content on their screens. Because we develop the d|sign software in-house and can make modifications or tools to interact with your systems, we are ideally placed to integrate the digital signage with your existing systems.
As part of any d|sign professional package our designers will work with you to create bespoke layouts with a look and feel that reflects your organisation, this service means that when you enter the content into the system, only minimal design work needs to be done to make your content look great and engage your audience.
Our designers are also available on an ongoing basis to help you with content creation and lifting. Some organisations also look at digital signage during an overhaul of their corporate identity and we can also assist with logo, livery, website and other design services.
If you want a solution where the screens are managed externally from your organisation, we can help with that too.
It might be that you have a number of outlets without employees or no-one available with computer skills to manage the system on a day to day basis. We can offer the d|sign software as a service whereby you email or upload content to us, or give us an outline of the messages you want to appear on the screens and we take care of the rest.
You still have access to the software to make changes as you need to, but we install a unit that allows us to dial in remotely and manage the system for you, creating content from your ideas and providing fresh content on an ongoing basis.
Please call us for software as a service options.
The d|sign software is very easy to use, even for users with limited computer skills. However we realise that occasionally users may need extra support, computers have problems and networking environments can change.
Each d|sign solution comes with a yearlong support agreement during which we provide support by phone, email and remote desktop, software updates and new features. In nearly all cases, support requests are resolved on the first call and because we develop the software, not simply resell the package when you talk to a support representative they will usually have been involved in the development of the product and are very familiar with all aspects of the software as well as experienced in many types of networking environments, their features and restraints.
Occasionally clients have a request for a feature or product extension that we have not addressed before. It may be a new type of content you want to use, a product feature, a new way of gathering or entering information specific to your organisation or industry or something entirely different.
Whatever your idea you should call us to discuss your requirements. d|sign is an ever growing and developing system, and the best ideas added to the system often come from the needs or ideas of our clients.
