Remote Device Management

Remote Device Management: Simplifying Digital Signage at Scale

Managing a digital signage network across multiple locations, cities, or even countries, can be a challenge without the right tools. That’s why remote device management is a core feature of the NowSignage platform, giving users full control of their screens from anywhere in the world.

With NowSignage, teams can deploy, monitor, troubleshoot, and update their digital signage network through one secure, cloud-based interface, without needing physical access to any device.

What Is Remote Device Management?

Remote device management allows users to control and maintain digital signage hardware over the internet, eliminating the need to be on-site. This includes capabilities such as:

✅ Monitoring screen status (on/off, connected/disconnected)

✅ Restarting or rebooting media players

✅ Viewing device logs and playback history

✅ Assigning and updating screen content remotely

✅ Scheduling system updates or clearing cache

For businesses operating in retail, corporate, transport, education, healthcare, QSR, and beyond, this kind of visibility and control is essential to ensure that content is always current and devices are always online.

How NowSignage Makes Remote Management Easy

NowSignage’s platform has been designed with non-technical users in mind. Once a device is connected and activated, administrators can manage screens from anywhere via a simple dashboard, including:

• Device Grouping & Tagging – Organise devices by location, department, or use case

• Content Assignment – Push new media to individual screens or full screen networks with just a few clicks
• Device Health Monitoring – Instantly spot screens that are offline or experiencing playback issues

• Remote Commands – Send reboot commands or clear cached files without local access

These features ensure that screen networks stay healthy, secure, and aligned with your content strategy - no matter how many locations you’re managing.

Scalable & Secure for Enterprise Use

NowSignage supports remote device management at any scale - whether you’re running a handful of displays or thousands across a global footprint. The platform is fully compatible with a wide range of media players, operating systems, and hardware brands, and integrates with enterprise systems for easy rollout and maintenance.

Built-in support for user permissions and role management also ensures that the right people have access to the right devices, maintaining security and operational control across departments and teams.
