Solution
We purchased all the necessary hardware
from Wedgwood and with a little help from our
maintenance team we had the screens and
cabling installed in the space of one afternoon.
The school now has 3 digital signage screens
covering our main reception and our school’s
theatre.
Initially we used PowerPoint but this didn’t give
us the flexibility we needed so we purchased
Repeat Signage.
Repeat Signage enabled us to design screens
that were flexible and easy to update. After
initial design work by myself I’ve managed to
pass all updates on to our receptionists. Staff
that want messages displaying on the screens
simply hand their requests into reception and
the receptionists handle all the updates. Due
to Repeat Signage’s easy user interface staff
required very little training and found that their
current Microsoft Office skills were transferable
to Repeat Signage.
Design
Our digital signage displays incorporate school
notices, News Feeds, Weather Feeds and
advertisements for up and coming school
events. The screens are also very versatile
so we can switch the screens from primarily
focusing on School notices during the day to
focusing advertising during the evening when
the theatre is in use.
Conclusion
We are very happy with the impact that the
screens have had and the simple software and
hardware setup meant we were able to do
everything in house keeping the costs down.
Using Repeat Digital Signage has saved us
hundreds if not thousands of pounds compared
to paying for an outside company to install and
provide content for our screens.

Repeat Signage lets you insert pictures, text, clocks, shapes, .PDFs, etc., into
your presentation. Then you save this and can schedule it to play over your local
network at different times. For example, you could display school information
9-12 am, then display lunchtime menu 12-1pm, followed by students’ artwork. In
the evening you can display advertisements whilst the theatre is in use, or other
school based activities.
