Toucan interface for organizing a playlist and publishing a campaign to an in-store screen

A clear publication workflow, from content to screen

Create or import

Installing screens is not enough: content must stay useful and up to date

Without a clear process, screens may display the same content for too long, continue showing an expired campaign or present inconsistent messages from one store to another.

Toucan® centralizes preparation, scheduling and publication to simplify team workflows and make better use of your screen network.

Frequently asked questions about digital signage with Toucan®

Essential answers about content, playlists, scheduling, multi-site networks and EZad support.

What is in-store digital signage software used for?

Digital signage software lets teams create or import content, organize it into playlists, schedule publication and manage screens across one or more stores.

What content can Toucan® publish to screens?

Toucan® can publish messages created in the software as well as imported media such as images and videos. Content can feature promotions, new products, services, practical information or internal communications.

Can content be scheduled in advance?

Yes. Playlists and campaigns can be scheduled by date range, screen, store or group of locations.

Can different playlists be scheduled for different stores and screens?

Yes. Toucan® can assign a playlist to a screen, zone, point of sale or group of stores, then schedule its playback for the required dates and times.

Is Toucan® suitable for multi-site networks?

Yes. Headquarters can prepare campaigns, manage permissions and define shared content, while stores keep the level of autonomy approved by the organization.

Does EZad also provide screens and deployment support?

Depending on the project, EZad can provide configuration, training, deployment assistance, support and the equipment required for digital signage.

Does digital signage replace print signage?

Not necessarily. Screens and printed materials serve complementary purposes. The same campaign can be displayed on screens, posters, POP materials or labels depending on the zone and the message.
