Retail & Hospitality Suite

Digital signage and supplier ordering for retail and hospitality networks.

Overview

Retail and hospitality businesses have to keep two sides of the operation moving at the same time. Customers need to see the right menu, price, promotion or campaign at each location, while branches need to order the products and supplies they actually need. When screens are managed separately from supplier ordering, a price can change on one side while the old information remains on the other, and purchasing teams only see the impact later when orders and invoices are reviewed.

The Retail & Hospitality Suite connects these workflows through Screen Flow, Supply Now and Back Office. Screen Flow lets head office publish menus, prices and campaigns to individual screens, branches or an entire network, while Supply Now gives each location a single catalogue for ordering products from suppliers. Back Office brings orders, customers, products and invoices into the wider operational workflow.

For multi-location businesses, consistency is as important as speed. A new menu, promotional price or operational message may need to reach dozens of locations without staff manually updating every display. Screen Flow uses scheduled broadcasts, device groups and a default playlist so screens can continue showing valid content even when a connection is temporarily unavailable.

The ordering side works in the same way: instead of branches sending phone calls, emails or messages that someone has to re-enter, Supply Now provides a digital catalogue with customer-specific pricing, delivery windows, order history and reordering. Orders can flow into Back Office and then into delivery planning, giving purchasing teams a clearer picture of demand across the network before invoices arrive.

For Swiss operators, the platform is built with Swiss requirements in mind, including Swiss hosting, nDSG/GDPR support, multilingual administration and digital invoicing workflows such as Swiss QR-Bill. This makes the suite relevant for retail chains, restaurant groups, hotels and franchise networks that need one operational environment across multiple locations.

Who It's For

Retail chains, restaurant and café groups, hotels, franchise operators, and other multi-location hospitality businesses.

Key Benefits

Measurable outcomes and advantages that organizations gain by implementing this integrated suite solution.

Update every location from head office

Screen Flow lets teams publish menus, prices, campaigns and announcements to one branch, selected locations or the whole network without updating each screen manually.

Keep screens running between updates

Default playlists and offline-capable playback keep valid content available when no scheduled broadcast is active or a screen temporarily loses its connection.

Centralize branch ordering

Supply Now gives locations one digital catalogue for browsing products, checking customer-specific pricing, placing orders, reordering and selecting delivery windows instead of relying on separate ordering channels.

See network demand before the invoices arrive

Orders flow into the operational system where purchasing teams can see what branches are ordering, review order history and coordinate demand across the network.

Built for Swiss and multi-location operations

Swiss hosting, nDSG/GDPR support, multilingual interfaces and Swiss QR-Bill workflows support organizations operating across Switzerland and other European markets.
