From Halifax to Vancouver, every screen on local time
TVpilot runs the screens in your stores, restaurants and offices across Canada from one web dashboard. Each screen keeps its own time zone, and each team member picks English or French for the dashboard. Plug in an Amazon Signage Stick, sold on Amazon in Canada, or a Raspberry Pi, and the TV is live in minutes.
Free plan, no credit card. Paid plans from €5 per month.
Your branches all open at 9:00, but not at the same moment.
Each screen has its own time zone. Plan the morning playlist once and every location switches at its own local time, from Atlantic Canada to British Columbia.
Part of your team works in French.
Every user chooses their own dashboard language, French and English among them. Screens show the content you make, so a bilingual English and French screen is fully in your hands.
The weather changes what customers come in for.
Show the live weather and forecast on screen. With smart triggers (Premium), a hot drinks slide plays only while it snows or while it is colder than a temperature you choose.
Real screens, ready to use
Every screen below is a live plugin or a design you make in minutes. Mix them in one playlist, or give each screen its own.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy a player in Canada?
The Amazon Signage Stick is sold on Amazon in Canada, also through Amazon Business. Set it up with the free Amazon Signage mobile app, choose TVpilot as the CMS and enter the claim code from your dashboard. A Raspberry Pi, a Fire TV Stick or a smart TV browser work too.
Can my team use the dashboard in French?
Yes. Every user chooses their own dashboard language: English, French, German, Spanish or Dutch. A manager in Montreal can work in French while head office in Toronto works in English.
Can screens show English and French?
Screens show the content you make. Put both languages on one slide, alternate an English and a French slide, or give your screens in Quebec their own playlist.
How do schedules work across time zones?
Each screen has its own time zone. A lunch slot from 11:30 to 14:00 runs at those local times on every screen, so one schedule serves Halifax and Vancouver alike.

Plans are priced in euros and paid by card; your bank converts the amount to Canadian dollars. Free is 1 screen forever without a card, Starter €5 per month for 3 screens, Pro €29 for 10 and Business €99 for 25. Prices exclude VAT.
