Digital signage software
Schedule playlists, daypart menus, group screens, assign regional permissions, and publish content across Chicago locations from one digital signage software platform.
Commercial displays
The screen plan starts with the job: sell through a window, guide visitors, update menus, support a lobby, or turn a wall into a large-format brand canvas. In Chicago, that workflow is scoped to the local audience, venue, and operating cadence.
Digital signage installation
Certified crews handle site survey, mounting, cable paths, network handoff, player setup, screen testing, and launch day commissioning for Chicago digital signage projects.
Content design
CrownTV builds Chicago content for real screens: menu boards that change by daypart, retail promos that read through glass, lobby loops, wayfinding, and brand templates.
Launch training
We train admins on screen groups, content approvals, emergency updates, recurring schedules, user roles, and the everyday CrownTV Dashboard workflows that keep signage moving. In Chicago, that workflow is scoped to the local audience, venue, and operating cadence.
Managed digital signage
The same account team can handle campaign drops, device alerts, quarterly checks, and support tickets so signage does not become another facilities chore. In Chicago, that workflow is scoped to the local audience, venue, and operating cadence.
Digital signage screens
A strong Chicago rollout pairs placement, content cadence, installation, and remote management before a screen is ever mounted.
Why Chicago runs CrownTV
In Chicago, we don't sell screens and walk away — we run a digital signage platform. The difference shows up when the install crew, software team, content team, and managed support all answer to the same project owner.
Chicago install scope handles lake-effect snow loads, sustained Great Lakes wind, and ice-storm exposure with heat-rated cabinets and shedding-geometry mounts.
Chicago Class-A landlord scope: pre-issued COI riders, freight scheduling, after-hours install windows, and union-shop electrical coordination — every step inside the project plan.
Chicago flagship retail corridors run on the window-display product line — sun-readable high-brightness displays, weather-ready outdoor enclosures where needed, flush slim-bezel mounting. The product page covers spec, sizes, install.
1,800+ operators, ~10,000 live screens, 13-year operating history. Chicago buyers tap the playbook L'Occitane, Victoria's Secret, Herman Miller, and Pressed Juicery already run on.
