Digital signage content management without a support ticket or a USB stick.
Your marketing team launched a new campaign this morning. By lunch, it was on every screen in every store. Nobody called anyone. Nobody filed a ticket.
SPARC gives your team a built-in designer, drag-and-drop playlists, AI-powered content tools, and one-click deployment to every screen — from a single browser tab.
Every Content Update Is a Support Ticket, an Integrator Visit, or a USB Stick
Your marketing team launched a campaign this morning. Your stores are still showing last month's creative. The integrator charges $2,000 per visit. The franchise owner has been waiting three days for a menu change because 'the system is complicated.' Sound familiar?
Campaigns Launch Late — or Not At All
Head office publishes new creative. Two weeks later, half your stores are still showing last month's promo. The other half are showing the right thing but nobody knows if it's working.
- Content updates require scheduling a technician or integrator
- USB stick distribution means days or weeks of lag across locations
- No way to verify what's actually playing without visiting the store
You're Paying Thousands for Simple Changes
Swap a logo? $500. Seasonal menu update? $2,000. Change the video wall layout? Call the integrator. Every simple change comes with a line item.
- Integrator dependency turns every content change into a budget line
- Your marketing team can't update screens without technical help
- Simple changes take days because they go through a ticketing queue
Five Tools and Nothing Talks to Each Other
Content in one tool. Scheduling in another. Device management in a third. Reporting somewhere else. Your team spends more time switching between systems than managing content.
- Each tool has its own login, interface, and learning curve
- Campaign changes require updates in multiple systems
- No single view of what's playing, where, and when
Your Team Needs a Designer for Every Asset
Every piece of signage content requires a design brief, a creative agency, a revision cycle, and a file handoff. It takes weeks to go from idea to screen.
- No way to create professional content without external designers
- Template updates require recreating assets from scratch
- Video content is especially painful — trimming requires editing software
Launch Content at 9am, Live on Every Screen by 9:01
Your marketing team builds a campaign, targets the right stores, and publishes — all from one browser. Content snapshots freeze the playlist so it deploys consistently. Manifests ensure only changed files download. By the time you finish your coffee, every screen is updated.
Design Without a Designer
SPARC's built-in WYSIWYG Designer lets your marketing team create professional signage content without external agencies. AI generates headlines, taglines, colour palettes, and even images.
- Drag-and-drop canvas editor with text, shapes, images, and video layers
- AI-assisted content generation — describe what you need, get design options
- Industry-specific templates for retail, hospitality, healthcare, and more
Campaigns That Deploy Themselves
Set a campaign to go live at 9am Tuesday across 200 stores. It happens automatically. Priority-based scheduling ensures the right content wins when campaigns overlap.
- Content snapshots freeze playlists at deployment — immune to accidental edits
- Priority system automatically resolves conflicts between overlapping campaigns
- Dayparting rules shift content by time of day without manual intervention
Playlist Studio and Content Library
Drag-and-drop playlist builder with per-item durations, transition effects, and nesting. Content Library handles upload, organisation, tagging, and even browser-based video trimming.
- Playlist-within-playlist nesting for complex campaign structures
- Browser-based video trimming — no external editing software needed
- Content hashing detects duplicates and ensures delta updates only
20+ Widgets for Live Data
Clocks, weather, news, social feeds, stock tickers, room bookings, QR codes, sports scores, and more. Built-in widget types that pull live data so your screens stay current automatically.
- No coding required — configure widgets from the dashboard
- Data collection widgets with CSV/JSON export for analytics
- Custom HTML widget support for anything the built-in types don't cover
One Screen or a Thousand — Same Platform, Same Simplicity
A single cafe with one menu board uses the same platform as a national retail chain with 500 screens across 40 locations. SPARC scales without adding complexity — bulk operations, role-based access, and approval workflows keep large deployments manageable.
One Dashboard for Every Screen, Every Location

- Hierarchical location tree with drill-down to individual screens
- Bulk content deployment to regions, groups, or the entire network at once

Different stores need different content. SPARC lets you target by geography, store type, or audience demographics — automatically, without creating separate campaigns.
- Location-based content rules with automatic regional targeting

Stop Paying an Integrator for Simple Content Changes
