Construction site digital signage: the same notices in every site cabin

Nobody knows which poster is on which site. Put safety notices, inductions and site news on every cabin screen, changed from one place.

Free on one screen, with no card. Then from £10 per TV a month, ex VAT. No contract.

The problem

Paper notices do not keep up with live sites

Safety notices

Which version is on which site?

The laminated poster was right when it went up. A rule changes, and every site needs a new copy.

Inductions

New starters arrive every week

Each one needs the same induction steps and the same site rules, on every site.

Site news

Today's plan lives on a phone

Deliveries, crane lifts and road closures sit with the site manager, not where the gangs can see them.

Sites open and close

A new site starts with a blank wall

Someone has to print and put up every notice again. When the job ends, the cabin moves on.

Board previews

Live sample Boards for the site cabin

These are working Boards. Type in your own rules, notices and induction link.

Site rules Board: No PPE, no entry, five PPE icons, four site rules and the site manager's photo and extension

How it works on one site

One screen in the cabin, kept up to date

Safety notices

Notices with a start and an end date

Write each notice once as an Announcement. Give it a priority and dates. It leaves the screen on its end date.

For example, you could post an urgent notice about a new hazard, and set it to end when the work finishes.

Inductions

A QR code for the induction

Show a QR code that opens your induction form or video, so a new starter can begin on their phone.

For example, you could show the induction QR code in the welfare cabin before the first shift.

Site news

Today's plan, changed from a phone

The site manager adds deliveries, lifts and closures from the NowBoard Operator App. It installs from your browser on phone, tablet or desktop.

For example, you could move a crane lift to 14:00 from the gate, and the cabin screen shows the new time.

Weather and milestones

Weather and a countdown

Weather Boards use the location of the Site. A countdown Board counts down to a date you choose.

Evacuation

An alert on every screen

On Professional, an emergency alert stops the usual content and shows an urgent message. It goes to one Channel, one Site or every Site.

Contractors with many live sites

The right notices on a new site on day one

Put your company rules and safety notices in one Playlist. Use that Playlist on the Channel of every site. Change a Board once, and every site shows the change.

Open a new site, and give its Channel the same Playlist. Its screen shows the right notices from the first day.

A Board can be in more than one Playlist. To add a site's own plan, give that site a Playlist with the shared Boards and one Board of its own.

When a job ends, move the screen to the next site. You can assign a Player to a different Channel at any time.

Group each site's screens into a Site. Sites need Starter or above. Contractors with many sites can book a 30 minute demo to plan the roll-out.

Costs

What it costs

You pay per TV, per month, with no setup fee and no annual contract. Starter is £10 per TV per month ex VAT, and Professional is £20 per TV per month ex VAT.

For example, 10 sites with 2 screens each is 20 screens. On Professional that is £400 a month ex VAT.

NowBoard works with any screen that has an HDMI port. Plug a NowBoard Player into the screen. It costs £149 ex VAT, UK only.

The Free plan runs one TV with up to 5 Boards, with no card and no expiry. Emergency alerts need Professional. See pricing for every plan.

FAQ

Common questions about construction site digital signage

Does the screen need internet in the cabin?

Yes. Each screen needs an internet connection, by Wi-Fi or a network cable. Check how each cabin connects before you fit a screen.

Can we move a screen to a new site?

Yes. Take the screen and its Player to the new site, and assign the Player to that site's Channel. It shows that site's Boards.

Can head office and the site both change it?

Yes. Head office keeps the shared Boards for every site. Each site manager changes their own site's Board from a phone.

Do we need new screens?

No. Plug a NowBoard Player into the HDMI port of a TV you already have.

Is there a minimum contract?

No. You pay month to month and can add or remove TVs as sites open and close.
