Digital Signage with SmilControl: How does it work?

If you want to offer your individual digital signage products or services, you are usually faced with the following choice:

Alternative 1: Develop Everything from Scratch

You develop or commission your software such as CMS, media player, and other. Meanwhile, you test different devices, smart TVs, and monitors. In addition, you will build your server structures and develop content and content strategies for your customers. Furthermore, you will take care of sales, marketing, staff, training, support and much more.

You're reinventing the wheel!

Disadvantages:
  • Until your digital signage solution is ready, it takes a lot of time
  • High investment to create your own technologies and generate domain-specific experience
  • Developing, teaching and maintaining high-maintenance software involves unpredictable risks, responsibilities, and costs

Alternative 2: Find a Full-Service Provider

While you save on development effort, but your business model becomes dependent on one vendor

You get into a vendor lock-in!

Disadvantages:
  • You have to take what you're offered.
  • Implementing your specific features will be costly, if at all possible.
  • Combine products from different vendors (content management system, authoring tools, players, etc.), fails lacking compatibility.
  • Own technologies, such as a queue management or customer stopper systems to use, depend on the flexibility of the provider.
    As a rule, it will be challenging.

Multi-client Capability

SmilControl-CMS is multi-client-friendly. It allows customers and content not to mix up. In addition to that, you manage all your customers separately without having to go to a lot of trouble.

You got to choose the perfect templates for your customers, grant access to different users and chose who gets access to what content.

If you proceed, it’s especially easy to provide exceptional content, channels or feeds to your customers.

License management

The flexible license management supports you in billing your customers correctly. Create or renew licenses and get a filtered overview at the push of a button. If required, export this in CSV format to create an individual invoice for each customer. Enter the necessary information and prices directly in the respective license.

Since every license expires at some point: Use the automatic renewal or be informed in time by e-mail when licenses expire. Through our license management, you have your accounting under control at all times.

Vouchers

  • Would you like to distribute vouchers for a four-week or three-month trial license at events or trade fairs?
  • Does a customer want to buy multiple licenses at once but not use them immediately?

With our voucher module, SmilControl CMS offers the opportunity to generate vouchers for special promotions, special campaigns and more. Each license has a unique code and a period for redemption.

As soon as someone uses the voucher code, you'll know. Measure the success of your campaign with this KPI.

Player groups

Organization and clarity play a significant role, especially in large digital signage networks. Group your players in the SmilControl CMS to more efficiently update software or perform other tasks.

Statistics groups represent a popular reason for groupings. Here, the playback statistics of several players are combined. This allows you to determine how often a spot was displayed in a particular region. The interactive pie chart gives you a quick overview.

Would you like to use your in-house analysis tools? No problem — we build on transparency! Both the evaluation and the raw data can be exported in a CSV format as standard if required.

Hierarchical User ACLs

Do you want to assign different tasks to multiple employees or customers?

As soon as you manage your digital signage project with various employees, our rights' system supports you. You assign each user-specific editing right per module. Your employee should edit playlists but not manage players? That is possible.

You also have the option of appointing administrators who assign rights to your other employees. The rights' management is so finely granulated that you can even assign permissions to individual templates, sources, such as feeds or playlists, if required.

Specifics

In addition to all this, SmilControl offers more reseller features.

For instance, you can limit your content on playlists. After you're done compiling a playlist for your customer, you can set a time limit on it, and your customer will only be able to modify that playlist up until the time that you have allowed him to manipulate.

This feature is especially helpful for distributing ad-supported programs.
