What Does a Digital Signage Company Do?
A digital signage company provides the software, cloud infrastructure, and device management services that enable businesses to deploy, schedule, and update content on networked screens across one or many locations, without requiring hardware replacement.
The service sits between your message and your screens. That means a cloud-based content management system, player applications compatible with your existing displays, and the infrastructure to push content updates to hundreds of screens in seconds.
The scope of what a digital signage company delivers spans content scheduling and automation, device monitoring, analytics, and support. For multi-location businesses, the coordination layer handles updates that need to appear simultaneously across dozens or hundreds of sites.
Pickcel operates across retail, healthcare, corporate, education, hospitality, manufacturing, banking, and transportation, serving businesses from single-location independents to global enterprise networks.
What Makes Pickcel Different as a Digital Signage Company
Device-Agnostic Architecture
Pickcel runs on 50+ device types: Android, Amazon Fire TV, Windows, Chrome OS, Samsung SSSP, LG webOS, Raspberry Pi, and more. You are not buying into a proprietary hardware stack. Install the Pickcel player on your existing commercial screens or any supported device and you are ready. This matters in practice when you're deploying across inherited screen infrastructure. Pickcel works with what you have, not what a vendor wants to sell you.
Cloud-Based Management from Anywhere
Your entire screen network is accessible from one browser-based dashboard. Add a screen in Singapore, update a campaign in Dubai, and review performance in London, with no IT involvement at each site. No on-premises server required. Content reaches screens within seconds of publishing.
Enterprise Security, Built In
Pickcel holds both SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications. These are independent, third-party verified standards that confirm Pickcel's controls over data security, access management, incident response, and infrastructure availability. Few digital signage providers publish both certifications. For IT Managers and procurement teams running an RFP, these certifications are binary pass/fail criteria. Pickcel passes.
Scale Without Architecture Changes
Pickcel's infrastructure is built to grow with your deployment. Businesses add screens, locations, and users without migrating to a different platform tier or replacing CMS components. The platform handles networks of a handful of screens and networks of tens of thousands through the same dashboard.
The Pickcel Platform
Managing digital signage at scale starts with the right software foundation. The Pickcel platform is a full-stack product built on four modules.

Four Modules That Power Your Screen Network
Each module replaces a manual display task with a remote capability — from content publishing and device management to integrations and performance reporting.
Content Management System
Feature: Zone-based content control, scheduling templates, and real-time updates.
Advantage: Non-technical users manage content independently. No agency required for daily operations.
Campaign changes appear on-screen within seconds, not after a ticket has been raised.
Player Applications

Lower deployment cost and faster go-live compared to hardware-bundled alternatives.
Content Library and Integrations
Feature: Native integrations with Google Slides, social feeds, RSS, data APIs, weather, and live dashboards, plus pre-built templates across retail, healthcare, corporate, and hospitality.
Advantage: Content from your existing systems appears on-screen without manual re-entry.
Relevant, automatically updated content without daily manual refresh cycles.
Analytics and Reporting
Feature: Playback logs, uptime tracking, and exportable reports.

Download the Pickcel Player
Install the player on your supported device. Available for Android, Fire TV, Windows, Chrome OS, Samsung SSSP, LG webOS, and Raspberry Pi.

Publish Content
Select a template, add your message, and push to one screen or all screens in your network simultaneously. Content goes live immediately.
Industries We Serve
Pickcel manages screen networks across a broad range of verticals. The same CMS handles promotional campaigns in a retail chain, patient communication in a hospital, and KPI boards on a factory floor.
Retail
Run real-time promotional campaigns synced to inventory or pricing data. Pickcel supports single-store independents and multi-region retail chains from the same account.
Healthcare
Deliver wayfinding, queue management, and patient education across hospitals and outpatient facilities. Scheduling tools update content for each department automatically.
Corporate and Office
Display KPIs, announcements, and company updates across office floors and lobbies. Role-based access lets department heads manage their screens without IT involvement.
Education
Publish campus news, event schedules, and emergency alerts across university campuses and school sites. Administrators manage all screens from one central account.
Hospitality
Display dining menus, event schedules, guest service information, and branded content across hotel lobbies and common areas.
Manufacturing
Show production targets, safety notices, and shift performance data on factory floors where staff have no email or desk access.
Banking and Financial Services
Display queue management information, product promotions, and compliance messaging in bank branches and financial offices.
Transportation
Manage departure boards, wayfinding, and safety communications across airports, transit hubs, and station networks.
Security and Compliance
For enterprise buyers, security certification is not a differentiator; it is a prerequisite. Pickcel meets the standards procurement teams check before shortlisting vendors.
SOC 2 Type II
Independent audit verifying security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy over a sustained period.
ISO 27001
International standard covering information security management, risk assessment, and incident response.
99.99% Uptime SLA
Cloud infrastructure designed for under 53 minutes of combined downtime per year on enterprise screen networks.
Pickcel holds an active SOC 2 Type II certification. This independent audit, conducted by a third-party CPA firm, verifies Pickcel's controls over security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy across a sustained audit period, typically six to twelve months. The distinction matters: SOC 2 Type I is a point-in-time snapshot. SOC 2 Type II demonstrates that those controls functioned consistently over time. Pickcel holds Type II.
Pickcel is ISO 27001 certified. This international standard covers Pickcel's Information Security Management System and verifies documented processes for risk assessment, access controls, incident response, and business continuity planning.
Pickcel does not monetise customer data. Content, scheduling configurations, and display data are held in secure, access-controlled cloud infrastructure. Enterprise plans include data residency options for regulated industries.
Support and Partnership
Pickcel provides active support throughout your deployment, not just at initial onboarding.
Support availability
- 24/7 support for enterprise plans
- Dedicated onboarding team for multi-site rollouts
- Comprehensive documentation library covering all supported device types and CMS workflows
- In-product guidance for standard content operations
Professional services
For complex deployments, Pickcel's professional services team provides configuration reviews, custom integration scoping, and training sessions for content administrators across distributed teams.
Hardware compatibility programme
Pickcel maintains active compatibility testing across device firmware cycles. Customers are not responsible for monitoring or managing compatibility changes. Pickcel's player updates handle this automatically.
