Retail digital signage

Retail digital signage that runs your promotions for you

Put this week's offers, new arrivals and brand videos on the TVs in your shop, and let them start and stop on time by themselves. TVpilot is digital signage software for shops and retail chains: one dashboard for every screen in every store, on hardware you can buy anywhere.

Free plan, no credit card required. Paid plans from €5/month.

What you need

A TV, a small player, and an account

No special retail hardware needed. Any TV or monitor becomes a promotion screen with a small player behind it, or just with the browser built into a smart TV.

Any TV or monitor with an HDMI port, in the shop window, at the counter or above the shelves, landscape or portrait
A small player: the Amazon Signage Stick, a Raspberry Pi, a Fire TV Stick, an Android TV box, or the TV's own browser
A free TVpilot account for the dashboard
A fashion store's window screen: four slides, each with its own schedule, and the offer ends by itself on Sunday.
Setup

Your first promotion screen in 4 steps

01
Add the screen

Sign up free, click "Add screen" and enter the claim code the TV shows. Give it a location (the store) and tags such as "window" or "checkout", so you can find and select those screens in one go later.

02
Upload the campaign

Images, videos and PDFs from your brand team, Canva designs, or screens made in the built-in Designer or with AI Studio from a short brief.

03
Set when it runs

Give each slide its weekdays, hours and an end date, or plan whole playlists per screen in the calendar: the summer sale starts on Monday at opening time and disappears on its last day.

04
Push it to the stores

Press Push to screen and every chosen screen in every store switches. Work in progress never shows; the screens keep the last pushed version until you are done.

Features

Built for promotions that change every week

What a printed poster makes slow, a promotion screen makes a few clicks: and it takes itself down when the offer ends.

Campaigns that end on time

Every slide can have weekdays, hours and an expiry date. Expired offers take themselves off screen, so nobody sees last week's price.

One dashboard, every store

Filter the screens by store or by a tag such as "window", select them all and assign the campaign in one go, or plan it per screen in the calendar. Roles and per-store access for store managers; approval before publishing on Business.

Reviews and social proof

Show your Google, Trustpilot or other review ratings live, an Instagram feed as a social wall, or a countdown to the end of the sale.

QR codes that sell

Add a QR code to any screen in the Designer: to the web shop, a sign-up page or the product page, so shoppers can buy later.

Proof of play for brands

Playback reports per item, screen and day, with certificates and advertiser reports per rented playlist: show suppliers that their campaign ran.

Keeps playing when the internet does not

Players keep the content and the schedule locally, switch to a planned campaign on time even offline, and fall back to a backup playlist instead of going black.

FAQ

Retail digital signage, answered

What do I need for digital signage in a shop?

A TV or monitor and a small player. The Amazon Signage Stick is made for 24/7 signage; a Raspberry Pi installs with one command and can switch the TV on and off; a Fire TV Stick or Android TV box works with the TVpilot app; a smart TV can open the player in its browser. The dashboard runs in any web browser.

Can I run different promotions in different stores?

Yes. Give each screen a location and tags, then plan playlists per screen in the calendar, or filter the screen list by a tag, select those screens and assign the campaign to all of them at once. Store managers can get access to their own store only.

Can a promotion start and stop automatically?

Yes. Each slide can have weekdays, hours and an expiry date, and the calendar switches whole playlists at an exact moment. A screen downloads a planned campaign in advance, so it switches on time even without internet at that moment.

Can I show customer reviews on the screen?

Yes. Plugins show Google, Trustpilot, Kiyoh, Feedback Company and other review ratings live, with the best reviews rotating. An Instagram feed can run as a social wall.

Can I prove to a brand that their campaign was shown?

Yes. Proof-of-play reports count every play per item, screen and day, with exportable certificates and advertiser reports per rented playlist, also as automatic monthly emails.
