Digital signage is a dynamic communication tool that uses digital displays, such as LED or LCD screens, to convey information, advertisements, and interactive content to a targeted audience, such as your employees. With the ability to remotely manage and update content in real time, it replaces traditional static signs and posters, offering versatility in displaying text, images, videos, live data feeds, and more.
Digital signage is widely used in various settings, including retail stores, corporate offices, and public spaces, enhancing engagement and delivering relevant information efficiently.
With MangoApps Digital Signage you can display recent company posts, alerts, and recognitions on any screen in your workplace. MangoApps Digital Signage continually cycles through the 50 most recent company posts, non-expired alerts, and/or recognitions to active users. Once enabled you can add your API Key and the system will generate a URL that you can enter in to your digital signage platform to display the selected content.
