More Control, More Visibility: Introducing Screen Network Monitoring

For years, digital signage software has been judged by one thing: how well it publishes content.

Across many networks, digital signage has become business critical. Screens influence purchasing decisions, communicate operational information, support compliance, and shape customer experiences every minute of the day. While the role of digital signage has evolved, many content management systems have not.

Publishing content is only part of the challenge. Enterprise organisations also need to know what’s happening across thousands of screens, identify issues before they affect operations and have the tools to act quickly when they do.

That’s why we’ve built something bigger than a content management system. NowSignage is a decision management platform that gives organisations more visibility, more control, and ultimately more value from every screen they deploy.

Managing Complexity at Scale

Working closely with enterprise clients means we see the day-to-day realities of running signage at scale, and the problems that come with it. When you're managing thousands of screens across dozens of sites, small issues add up fast. A screen goes offline and nobody notices until a customer points it out. Licences lapse without warning. Devices quietly fall behind on updates. And when something does go wrong, tracking down which screen, at which site, running which version, can mean hours of digging or a trip to the site. Historically, there hasn't been a way to fully understand what's happening across the estate as a whole, or on any single screen. That's the gap we set out to close.

Visibility Across Every Screen

To solve these challenges, we’ve introduced Screen Network Monitoring, giving operators a complete, real-time view of their entire digital signage estate from a single dashboard.

Screen Network Monitoring is integrated throughout the NowSignage platform, making critical network insights available wherever operators need them. New monitoring widgets and filters have been added to the main Screens dashboard, providing an immediate overview of estate health, while the dedicated Monitoring tab delivers deeper network-level insights. Operators can also access detailed information by drilling into any individual screen, giving them a complete understanding of performance, status and configuration across their estate.

Rather than waiting for problems to be reported, teams can instantly understand the health of their network, identify offline screens, spot expiring licences, surface outdated devices and prioritise the issues that need attention most. Whether you’re responsible for hundreds or thousands of displays, the information you need is available in one place, making it easier to stay ahead of potential disruption.

By turning operational data into clear, actionable insights, Screen Network Monitoring helps organisations move from reactive support to proactive network management. Instead of wondering what’s happening across your estate, you always know.

From Visibility to Control

Visibility is only valuable if you can act on what you find.

That’s why we’ve continued to expand our Remote Device Management capabilities, giving operators the tools to investigate and resolve issues remotely, whether that’s a single screen or an entire estate.

Restart devices, update applications, capture screenshots and perform remote actions across multiple players without leaving your desk. By reducing the need for site visits and enabling teams to respond faster, organisations can minimise downtime, lower operational costs and keep business-critical networks performing as they should.

Together, Screen Network Monitoring and Remote Device Management provide a complete operational toolkit, allowing enterprise teams to identify issues, take action immediately and maintain confidence across every screen they manage.

More Than a Content Management System

Screen Network Monitoring is more than a new feature. It reflects a wider shift in what organisations expect from their digital signage platform.

Publishing content will always be at the heart of digital signage, but it’s no longer enough on its own. Enterprise organisations need visibility into every screen, control over every device and the insight to make faster, better operational decisions every day.

That’s what we mean when we say NowSignage is a decision management platform.

By combining enterprise content management with monitoring, remote device management and powerful operational insights, we’re helping organisations do more than manage digital signage. We’re helping them maximise the value of every screen, reduce operational overheads and run their networks with confidence.

More visibility. More control. More value.

That’s the future of enterprise digital signage, and it’s available today with NowSignage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you monitor a digital signage network?

Digital signage monitoring works by pulling live data back from every screen in your network into one dashboard. With NowSignage, you can see which screens are online, how your licences are tracking, what content is playing, and how your estate breaks down by device, operating system and app version, all in real time. This gives you a complete view of your network's health so you can spot and fix issues before they cause downtime.

How do you keep a large digital signage estate up to date?

Keeping a large estate up to date starts with visibility. NowSignage surfaces out-of-date screens, expiring licences and offline devices up front, so you know exactly what needs attention. From there, you can push app updates and other actions remotely across your network, keeping every screen current without manual checks or site visits.

Can you control who has access to digital signage monitoring data?

Yes. NowSignage offers granular, per-user permissions across monitoring, remote device management and audit logs. Access can be set from full control to view-only to none, and applied across a whole project or scoped to specific screens, so each team member only sees the data relevant to their role.
