Managed digital signage. Your screens run themselves.
A dedicated account manager schedules content, monitors every screen 24/7, ships a replacement player in 48 hours, and runs quarterly preventative maintenance — so your team stops thinking about digital signage support tickets. Available standalone for clients with existing hardware, or bundled into every CrownTV turnkey contract by default.

What managed signage actually is
The operations layer that runs after install.
A digital signage program isn't done at sign-off. Someone schedules the content, refreshes the menus, swaps the assets, runs network diagnostics, ships replacement players, and answers the call when a screen goes dark on a Tuesday afternoon. Managed digital signage is that work — handled by a dedicated account manager rather than your internal team. Included in every CrownTV turnkey contract by default; available standalone for clients running their own hardware.
CrownTV is a turnkey digital signage provider helping brands digitize their physical spaces. We bundle three things most vendors split apart: our cloud-based digital signage software, commercial-grade indoor and high-brightness window displays, and a nationwide installation team. We run the whole stack — site survey, hardware, install, content management, ongoing support — under one contract. From a single screen in one location to a national rollout across 500 stores, the playbook is the same.
Why CrownTV for managed digital signage
- 13 years and 16,000+ screens of operations data. The cadence is dialed in across retail, QSR, healthcare, hospitality, fitness, and corporate. Fewer surprise outages, faster time-to-resolution, smoother quarterly reviews.
- Single accountable point of contact. One number for any digital signage support need — not a tier-one queue, not a chatbot, not "your software vendor said to call your hardware vendor".
- Honest answers to security questionnaires. Including what we don't yet have. Full disclosure on the RFP page.
- Works on third-party hardware too. The CrownTV Dashboard signage software runs on BrightSign, Android-stick, and Samsung Tizen — managed services apply across the fleet, not just on CrownTV-deployed hardware.
Five managed tracks
Everything that happens after install.
Five tracks running in parallel — content, operations, hardware, network, and quarterly review. Click each to see the monthly deliverables.
01 — Content Content updates
Your campaign calendar runs on our schedule. Drop creative into a shared folder; we load, validate, and publish per location and per daypart from the CrownTV Dashboard.
What you get monthly
- Scheduled campaign drops, loaded and validated per location
- Daypart variants (breakfast / lunch / dinner) for QSRs
- Per-store and per-region overrides as needed
- Holiday + LTO calendar locked one quarter ahead
02 — Operations Health monitoring
Real-time device-status monitoring across every player and panel. Automated alerts catch outages before stores report them; remote diagnostics resolve the majority of issues without truck-roll.
What you get monthly
- 24/7 player and display health checks
- Automated alerts on device offline / display fault
- Remote-first diagnostics — most issues resolved without on-site visit
- Monthly uptime report per location
03 — Hardware Hardware replacement SLA
Player fails? Replacement ships within 48 hours at no charge during contract. Display warranty is administered through Samsung's 3-year channel; we coordinate the RMA on your behalf.
What you get monthly
- 48-hour CrownTV media player replacement, no charge during contract
- Samsung 3-year warranty coordination on display RMAs
- Spare-pool inventory pre-staged for multi-location accounts
- Crew dispatch through nationwide install network when on-site work needed
04 — Network Network optimization
Bandwidth, content cache, and player firmware tuned per site so screens stay live even when the network blips. CrownTV's offline cache rides through brief outages without going dark.
What you get monthly
- Player firmware updates, scheduled outside business hours
- Offline cache verified — screens stay live during network blips
- Bandwidth profiling per site for asset delivery efficiency
- IT escalation handled by our team, not yours
05 — Quarterly Quarterly preventative maintenance
Every quarter: a structured network-wide health check covering firmware, scheduling, performance, and hardware refresh planning. We flag panels nearing end-of-life so refresh budget lands in next year's plan.
What you get quarterly
- Full-network firmware sweep + scheduling audit
- Account review with performance + outage trends
- Hardware refresh roadmap (panels nearing EOL flagged 12 months out)
- Upcoming campaign + content readiness checklist
