How Offices Replace Static Lobby TVs with Managed Screens Showing KPI Dashboards and Announcements

The television in many office lobbies is showing a static slide with the company logo that has not changed in months. The same screen could be displaying live sales figures, welcoming a visiting client by name, or carrying company announcements — all managed from a browser without an IT project.

Lobby Screens: First Impressions

A lobby screen can display a branded welcome message that includes the visitor's name and their host — pulled automatically from the day's meeting schedule via a data source integration. Between arrivals, the screen carries company news, achievements, or brand content that communicates the organisation's values to anyone waiting.

KPI Dashboards for Operations Teams

Screens in operations areas, sales floors, and contact centres are most useful when they show live performance data. The repeater widget in Design Studio connects to any REST API or data source and renders metrics as a live dashboard — sales figures, ticket queues, delivery status — refreshing automatically without a content republish.

Common Areas and Meeting Rooms

Break room screens carry company announcements, event calendars, employee recognitions, and health and safety notices — content that reaches employees in a moment of downtime rather than competing with inbox clutter. Screens outside meeting rooms display room availability, the current booking, and the next scheduled meeting, connected to a calendar data source that keeps them accurate throughout the day.

Role-Based Access and a Phased Rollout

Digipal's role-based access control lets the communications team define who can publish to which screen groups. A marketing manager can update a lobby promotion without touching the operations floor KPI dashboard. For rollout, start with one or two lobby screens, expand to common areas, then add data-source-connected KPI screens for specific teams — each phase is independent and does not require downtime elsewhere.
