Kiosk & Digital Signage
Screens and kiosks driven by live prices, KPIs and emergency events
Kiosk & Digital Signage is planned to run screens and kiosks from the records the business already keeps: POS prices, dashboards, EHS and Facilities messages, and brand assets. Content expiry and emergency override are built in.
What it does
The module manages screens and players, builds playlists from content slots with schedules and targeting, and runs no-code kiosk flows such as check-in, feedback, queue tokens and self-order. Content comes from the systems that own it: prices and menus from POS and Commerce, KPIs from Dashboards, safety messages from EHS and Facilities, and brand assets from Brand & DAM and Design Studio.
No more expired offers
Offers and prices carry mandatory expiry. Expired content is removed from every player, including offline caches, at the next check. Menu boards sync prices, availability and images from POS, and out-of-stock items are hidden automatically. Publishing to customer-facing screens needs approval with a preview on the target layout.
Emergency override
A Facilities emergency event or an authorised role overrides every screen at a site with a pre-approved template. The site edge node relays the override to LAN screens when the WAN is down. 'All clear' restores the schedule.
Safe rollout at scale
Content is published in rings across hundreds of screens with health checks between rings, and a failing ring halts and rolls back. Players cache content for offline playback and upload proof-of-play logs. Screenshots are disabled by default where screens may show personal data, and data on public screens passes a classification check.
Generated content within brand rules
AI drafts offers, menu changes and announcements from templates with live data, in brand style, with multilingual variants. Brand-locked templates fix logo, fonts, colours and legal footer, and local teams change only typed fields. A human approves before anything reaches a customer-facing screen. QR engagement counts scans without storing IP addresses, device IDs or cookies.

Frequently asked questions
Can screens show prices straight from our POS?
Yes, as planned. Menu boards sync prices, availability and item images from POS and Commerce, and out-of-stock items are hidden.
What happens if the internet is down at a store?
Players cache scheduled content and keep playing; proof-of-play logs upload later. Emergency overrides can be relayed by a site edge node.
Can AI publish content directly?
Not to customer-facing screens. AI drafts and pre-checks content; a human approves customer-facing publishing and emergency overrides.
Which players are supported?
A PWA web player, plus managed Android and ChromeOS players where supported. Platform support is to be verified before build.
