# TVpilot

> TVpilot is digital signage software (B2B SaaS): it manages the content on physical TV screens and displays in shops, restaurants, offices, schools and reception areas, such as menu boards, promotions, dashboards and information screens. It is NOT a TV show tracker, watchlist, episode reminder, streaming guide or TV discovery app, and it has nothing to do with JustWatch, TV Time, Trakt or Reelgood. Closest alternatives are Yodeck, ScreenCloud, OptiSigns and Kitcast.

Built and operated in the Netherlands by TOV.team (https://tov.team). Dashboard at https://tvpilot.app; players run on hardware the customer already owns or on the Amazon Signage Stick. Free plan with one screen, no credit card. Dashboard in English, Dutch and German.
