kompas Digital Signage Software

The Android ecosystem has revolutionized the phone and tablet market. But you'll also find Android in vehicles, home appliances, smart TVs and various peripherals. What if you could run your digital signage content everywhere without having to make any special changes? With kompas Android, you can integrate various manufacturer-independent end devices such as tablets and digital signage screens based on Android into your network easily, quickly and inexpensively. You do not need any additional players.

This reduces your hardware investment and mitigates maintenance.

kompas plays out the content exactly when your customer takes the product off the shelf or picks it up! The screen will then display more detailed information or start a video to make the customer want the product. An ideal tool for staging products at the POS and supporting sales. With the help of Peakmedia we have already been able to successfully support a sports shop in Austria with this technology.

It doesn't matter which device is used to display the content, kompas Satellite runs on screens and tablets of all manufacturers. All you need is an internet connection and a browser. Digital Signage has never been so uncomplicated and cost-effective!

In this way, clearly arranged appointments and room reservations can be displayed. By using an advanced HTML5 template architecture, there are no technological limits to how your information is presented graphically on the e-paper labels. Thanks to suitable interfaces, your information is always up-to-date.

Ideal for pillars at the entrance and as a digital concierge.
You can design buttons freely and without any programming knowledge and use kompas to define the content that the user of the interactive application should access: Wayfinding, news, weather, timetables, videos or entire websites. Everything is quickly set up and live at the push of a button. Setting up an interactive touch system has never been easier. All the content you play out over your kompas digital signage network can now be turned into a kiosk system. kompas kiosk.starter allows you to work in a CI-compliant manner and offers uploading of graphics and free colour selection, so you can set up the kiosk system to suit your needs.

They simply have to call up the status display of a kompas player on their smartphone by scanning a QR code that can be affixed to the player or the monitor housing. kompas thus guarantees complete access – anytime, anywhere!

 

kompas offers the retail trade numerous features with which to actively use digital signage. For instance on the sales floor, using your smartphone as soon as you place goods in a different position. This allows you to plan special offers without much effort. Do you want to promote a certain product group in the entrance area this week? No problem! Set up your goods and then log into the kompas system using your smartphone. Scan in the QR code and you are connected to the correct player. Now you can select the playlist that suits the special offer, and the content is displayed correctly straight away. With kompas smart.select, you can adapt content directly at the POS without having to first of all log in via a PC. You can, of course, combine smart.select with player.sync. Is the shop going to close very soon? One click and all the screens can display a friendly message!

 

You decide which content is to be played concurrently on these players, regardless of whether the content is identical or different. Create, for example, a video animation that is to run at a defined point of time on ten screens at once while the screens display completely individual content at other times.
The spots being played concurrently are combined here into channels.

You thus create a link in the retail trade between merchandise management and digital signage. kompas enables you to extend your interactive applications with a single click!

With the digital call system from our partner cleverQ®, your customers can conveniently draw e-tickets (digital waiting stamps) via the cleverQ app.

Your customers do not have to be at your location. This helps you to reduce the waiting time.

With our kompas software, the on-site call display is easily transferred to your screens. You can also mix your split-screen call display with other content such as videos, images and completely individual templates.

 

kompas offers a module which interrupts the current playlist and transmits a live signal. Whether at sporting events, concerts or conferences, with kompas your broadcasting center is on board at all times.

 

In the latest release of the kompas Digital Signage software, it is now possible to interact with the system using a smartphone. Standing in front of a display, viewers can scan a QR code to influence the content shown on the display. This allows them, for instance, to access more information about any of a number of different available offers. The QR code leads to a simple mobile-optimized website from which the user can choose which content should be displayed.

Integrate interactive digital signage into modern shopfitting. If your customer selects a product at the POS on a column or an interactive kiosk system, the product is illuminated in the adjacent shelve. It also works the other way round: The customer can scan in the product via the barcode and the relevant data such as price, availability, accessories or alternative products is displayed on the digital-signage screen.

As used for many years, for example, at over 4,500 locations by a luxury food company.

kompas provides tools and solutions for all phases of the rollout: 

• Determining the location
• Project time planning
• Shopfitting and installations
• Selection and installation of the internet connection
• Configuration of the network hardware and the software
• Set-up of the internet connection
• Installation and test of the digital-signage software
• Maintenance and updates
• System monitoring
• Component replacement

These can be called up and played via a web application. To do this, the user scans a QR code using a tablet or a smartphone and the corresponding content is uploaded. This allows you to transmit additional information about products from central digital-signage screens to mobile devices, in a shop for example.

With the additional "rule-based booking" plug-in, kompas calculates all content dynamically based on specific criteria. You simply define how often each spot (e.g. a video) should run during a certain period of time, e.g. "30 times an hour between 12:00 and 18:00, but only from Monday to Friday", and which spot has the highest priority. In order to optimally plan the contents' airtime, kompas checks whether sufficient airtime is available for all content or for a certain spot.

Thanks to kompas proof of play, you will notice if content is not displayed correctly on the screens even though a video signal is being transmitted –  for example, if the screens are switched off or faulty.

It's optimised for monitoring thousands of clients, flexible due to sophisticated mobile technology. Thanks to live, real time status reports and up to the minute statistics you know what's happening on your displays - no matter where they are and at any given time.
