Today

Ramadan changes your hours and your menu, and every branch updates its screens by hand.

With TVpilot

Give the Ramadan and iftar media an availability window from the first day to Eid, and choose the times of day each slide plays. They go live and leave by themselves, and every branch follows the same plan.

Today

Your customers read Arabic and English, and you need both on the same screen.

With TVpilot

Design bilingual screens in Canva, or as images, videos or PDFs, and they play exactly as you made them. A Canva design updates on every screen when you edit it in Canva.

Today

Each store in each mall has its own USB stick, and head office never knows what is on screen.

With TVpilot

Every screen runs from one dashboard with locations per mall or city. The dashboard shows a screenshot of what each screen plays and which ones are online.

A day on your screens

Plan once, and every screen follows the clock

Give slides weekdays, hours and an end date, or plan whole playlists in the calendar. The screens switch on time, even when the internet drops.

  1. 10:00

    Store opens

    In a mall store that opens at 10:00, the screens switch on and the morning playlist starts with this week's offers.

  2. 12:30

    Lunch

    The food court screen shows the lunch menu, set once as a weekly slot in the calendar.

  3. 18:00

    Iftar

    In Ramadan, the iftar menu takes over at the evening time you set, on the days you planned.

  4. 21:00

    Evening crowd

    The video wall at the entrance plays the brand campaign for the evening visitors.

  5. 03:00

    Overnight

    Player updates install at 03:00 UAE time, because every screen follows its own clock.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can my screens show Arabic and English?

Yes. Screens play what you make, so design bilingual screens in Canva or as images, videos or PDFs and they show exactly as designed. A Canva design updates on every screen when you edit it in Canva.

Is the dashboard available in Arabic?

No. The dashboard is available in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Malay, Simplified Chinese and Thai, chosen per user in Settings. Emails and invoices from TVpilot are in English.

How do I plan Ramadan on my screens?

Give the Ramadan media an availability window from the first day to Eid, and choose the times of day each slide plays, for example the iftar menu in the evening. They come on and go off screen by themselves, in every branch.

Which player should I use in the UAE?

A Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 is the most reliable: one install command, it restarts its own player and switches the TV on and off through HDMI-CEC. An Android TV box with Fully Kiosk Browser or a smart TV browser also works. The Amazon Signage Stick is sold on Amazon in the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Canada.

How am I billed from the UAE?

Plans are priced in euros and paid by card; your bank converts the amount to dirhams. 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.

We have more than 100 screens across the Emirates. Can TVpilot handle that?
