Google Sheets - Link scene label to spreadsheet cells

With our Google sheets component you can easily link Scene labels to Google spreadsheet cells just by specifying the column and row you want to link to, within your Google cloud spreadsheet. This is a very powerful as it allows for external editing of food menu boards, directories and any board that uses many text labels. You can even allow other to access and edit your content without having them login to your Studio. And best of all, you can automate text edits via the Google API.

Location Based - GPS powered content

With our location based service, you simply set points / radius on a map and let any moving object (most likely a vehicle such as bus, taxi or train) display Digital Signage content when the the object enters the radius you specified.

This allows you to set GPS coordinates which correlate to particular resources such as videos, images etc and present them when and where they matter most.
