DIGITAL SIGNAGE FOR RETAIL OPERATORS

Turn your stores into a media network that pays for itself

For retail operators, digital signage is not about screens.
It is about operational continuity. DooH Group delivers one standardised platform for management, monitoring, support, and rollout across entire retail networks.

Managing screens across multiple locations is harder than it looks. Content goes stale, screens go dark, and your team spends hours on problems that shouldn’t exist. You need a partner who removes that burden, not adds to it.

Print costs that never stop

Printed POS materials need redesigning, printing, distributing, and disposing of every campaign, every season. A digital network eliminates recurring print costs and lets you update every store simultaneously from a central portal.

Screen networks that fragment under scale

Many retailers end up with multiple screen types, multiple CMS platforms, and multiple service contacts across their estate. DooH Group delivers a homogeneous network regardless of location count or country. One platform, one protocol, one point of contact.

Screens that don’t earn their keep

A well-managed retail screen network is not just a cost, it is a media asset. Brand partners and FMCG suppliers will pay to reach shoppers at point of purchase. DooH Group makes this revenue stream accessible via programmatic DOOH and direct media sales.

SCALE
10–500+ stores

APPLICATION
Communication & activation

DECISION TIME
6–18 months

PARTIES INVOLVED
Seven key roles

TECHNOLOGY & INTEGRATION

CTO / IT manager

ROLE
Oversees the IT architecture, security, and integrations that support the store network on a daily basis.

AMBITION
A stack that is scalable and secure, without every new store or campaign becoming a separate engineering puzzle.

CHALLENGE
Fragmented vendors, security audits resulting in dozens of separate policies, and integrations that work slightly differently at each location.

OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY

COO / Operations

ROLE
Oversees the day-to-day operations of the store network, from opening hours to service tickets.

AMBITION
Stores that “just work,” without operations starting every morning with a list of weekend malfunctions.

CHALLENGE
Unpredictable outages during peak times, escalations involving multiple suppliers, and KPIs that no one can trace back to a single source.

FINANCIAL PREDICTABILITY

CFO / Finance

ROLE
Ensures financial discipline regarding investments in the retail portfolio and their associated operating costs.

AMBITION
Predictable TCO per store, a transparent cost structure, and investments that deliver demonstrable returns over their lifecycle.

CHALLENGE
Scattered invoices, unexpected service calls, and additional service costs that repeatedly disrupt the multi-year model.

STRATEGY & GROWTH

CEO / Executive Board

ROLE
Sets the strategic direction: customer experience, market position, growth, and shareholder value.

AMBITION
A store network that unlocks strategic opportunities: faster rollout, new revenue models, and a stronger, consistent brand.

CHALLENGE
Too many operational challenges that slow down strategic decisions, and investments that look substantial on paper but fail to deliver ROI in practice.

BRAND & CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

CMO / Marketing

ROLE
Leads the brand, campaigns, and customer experience across both physical and digital channels.

AMBITION
Campaigns and local activations that go live quickly, deliver a consistent experience, and measurably contribute to customer acquisition and upselling.

CHALLENGE
Long lead times between concept and rollout, content that isn’t synchronised across all stores, and limited visibility into which screens are actually performing well.

SUPPLIERS & CONTRACTS

Procurement

ROLE
Manages supplier relationships, contracts, and economies of scale for the entire organisation.

AMBITION
Strong SLAs, fair pricing, and supplier consolidation, without being locked into a single hardware brand.

CHALLENGE
Conflicting demands between quality and cost, scale and flexibility, integration and portability. Often from multiple internal stakeholders simultaneously.

THE SEVENTH - OFTEN FORGOTTEN

The internal ambassador

ROLE
The advocate who drives the project from within. Often a member of the management team from retail, operations, or marketing who must “sell” it to the organisation.

AMBITION
To gain internal buy-in for the project, build support across silos, and have a well-founded answer ready for every critical question, from the CFO to the store manager.

CHALLENGE
Resistance from various quarters, conflicting interests, and the lack of benchmarks or comparable cases to point to. Staying credible is a full-time job.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Retail operators questions answered

IT / CTO

Is DooH Group's platform GDPR compliant? Can our IT team approve it?

Yes. The platform uses no facial recognition and captures no personal data. Impression measurement is based on anonymised sensor data only. DooH Group applies the SSRM security framework to all managed networks and provides a full security whitepaper and data processing agreement for IT pre-qualification.

Does integrating your platform require changes to our existing IT infrastructure?

No. DooH Group connects to your existing network via a secure outbound connection. No inbound firewall rules, no VPN tunnels, no changes to your core infrastructure. Our SSRM platform runs on top of your current setup. Most retail IT teams are fully onboarded within two weeks without any architecture changes.

Can your CMS integrate with our existing retail systems (ERP, PIM, pricing engine)?

Yes. BroadSign, our standard CMS, offers REST API connectivity. We have built integrations with common retail systems for dynamic pricing, inventory-triggered content, and campaign scheduling. Custom integrations are scoped during the onboarding phase and delivered as part of the managed service.

COO / Operations

What happens when a screen goes down in one of our stores?

Our Self-Healing Platform (SHP) detects and resolves the majority of incidents automatically, before your store team even notices. For hardware faults that require a physical intervention, we log a ticket and dispatch within the timeframes agreed in your SLA. You have one number to call and one dashboard to check.

How long does it take to install a digital signage network across multiple retail locations?

A standard retail pilot across 3–10 locations is completed within 4–6 weeks from contract signature: site survey, hardware delivery, out-of-hours installation, CMS onboarding, and go-live. A full rollout across 50–200 locations is typically completed within 3–6 months, depending on store access and existing infrastructure.

Do store staff need to manage or update the screens?

No. Content is managed centrally by your marketing or formula team via the DooH Group portal. No technical knowledge or action is required at store level. Price changes, seasonal promotions, and emergency updates can be pushed to all locations simultaneously in under 60 seconds.

CFO / Finance

What is the difference between CAPEX and HaaS for digital signage?

Under CAPEX, you purchase the hardware outright and DooH Group manages the network on a service contract. Under HaaS (Hardware as a Service), you pay a fixed monthly fee per screen covering hardware, software, installation, monitoring, and maintenance. No large upfront investment. Both models are available, and multi-country framework agreements can combine both depending on market.

What does a multi-location digital signage network actually cost?

Pricing depends on screen count, location type, and service tier. We structure all proposals around Total Cost of Ownership: hardware, installation, CMS licensing, monitoring, and maintenance in a single monthly or annual figure per screen. This makes budgeting predictable and eliminates the hidden service-call costs that fragment most retail signage contracts.

How do we report on ESG impact from our screen estate?

Our portal logs energy consumption per screen and per location. This data is exportable for ESG reporting. Our LED selection process prioritises the lowest available energy consumption per lux, and we offer e-paper screens for low-footfall or regulation-sensitive locations where further reduction is required.

CMO / Marketing

What is a retail media network and how does it generate revenue?

A retail media network is a digital screen infrastructure within retail locations that allows the retailer to sell advertising time to brand partners: FMCG suppliers, local advertisers, or programmatic DSPs. DooH Group connects retail screen networks to Broadsign’s programmatic infrastructure, enabling retailers to monetise unsold screen inventory automatically while retaining full control over what appears on their screens.

How quickly can we push a new campaign or price change to all stores?

Immediately, once approved in BroadSign. Content updates publish across your entire estate simultaneously, or by region, store format, or time slot if you need segmentation. There is no manual process per location. A campaign approved at 17:00 is live in every store at 08:00 the next morning.

Can different stores show different content?

Yes. BroadSign supports full content segmentation by location, store format, daypart, or any other variable you define. A flagship store can run brand content while another location shows a different promotional mix, all managed from one interface by your marketing team.

Procurement

Can DooH Group manage our screens across multiple countries?

Yes. DooH Group is operationally active in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Spain under a single centralised portal and SLA framework. Pan-European retail chains work with DooH Group as a Single Point of Contact: one contract, one service protocol, one invoice regardless of location country.

Are we locked into specific hardware brands?

No. We are a Samsung Platinum Partner and recommend Samsung as our primary hardware range because of its reliability, energy efficiency, and support infrastructure. However, our homogeneous network standard is software- and service-led, if your organisation has existing hardware frameworks or preferred suppliers, we can assess compatibility during scoping.

What does a typical SLA look like?

Our standard SLA covers 99.9% uptime, defined response times by incident severity, first-time-fix targets, and scheduled maintenance windows. Enterprise-tier clients receive dedicated account management and quarterly performance reviews. Full SLA terms are provided during the proposal phase.

Internal ambassador

How do we build internal support for this investment across different departments?

We start there. Our intake process maps all seven stakeholder roles in your organisation and identifies the specific proof points each one needs. We provide a structured internal briefing (covering IT requirements, operational impact, financial model, and retail media potential) that you can use directly in internal presentations. You do not have to translate our sales pitch; we give you the material to make the case yourself.

Do you have reference cases we can share internally?

Yes. We manage screen networks for VodafoneZiggo, Hoog Catharijne, Lebkov & Sons, La Place, Foodvillage, and Schiphol Airport, among others. Reference calls with peers in comparable retail organisations can be arranged on request.
