Digital signage software that proves what played on every screen

Digital Signage Software Decker

Decker Digital Signage is cloud-based digital signage software for screen networks: it connects screens, menus, and promotions to POS and ERP data, publishes updates in minutes, and verifies that every screen keeps playing. Restaurants, retailers, and multi-location teams catch a dark display before a customer does.

What is digital signage software?

Digital signage software is the layer that schedules, publishes, and monitors content on connected screens, separately from the screens and players it controls. Teams also call it a digital signage system, a digital signage platform, a digital signage program, or a digital signage CMS. Decker runs that layer for a screen network of any size, from one display to hundreds of sites across several states.

Most digital signage systems stop at delivery: they send a file and assume it plays. Decker adds the missing step. Decker Player displays the content, and Decker Verifier confirms it played, so delivery and playback become two separate, checked facts. Next, here is what the platform controls from one dashboard.

What Decker controls from one digital signage platform

Decker is a digital signage platform that manages content, schedules, locations, access, integrations, alerts, and recovery from one dashboard, instead of a CMS, a POS export, and a spreadsheet of screen IDs stitched together.

  • Content management

    Decker updates every screen from one library of media, menus, and campaigns. Screens never get rebuilt from scratch, because the digital signage software keeps one source for every asset.

  • Schedules and playlists

    Screens publish by time of day, location, screen group, business format, and campaign window.

  • Screen groups and locations

    Displays join groups by site, zone, region, franchise unit, and operating purpose.

  • Roles and access

    Each role publishes only what it is permitted to, so marketing, operations, and local teams keep the right permission level across the screen network.

  • Integrations and data sync

    Decker connects POS, ERP, and API feeds to each display the moment it joins a location, so price and menu changes reach it automatically.

  • Monitoring and alerts

    Displays report status, playback changes, connection gaps, and alert events after every publish.

  • Remote recovery

    Decker restarts playback and corrects display state remotely, without a truck roll. Most faults close from the dashboard before anyone drives to the site.

The Decker difference: verified playback, not just delivery

Unlike a standard digital signage platform, which sends a file and assumes the screen shows it, Decker verifies playback on each screen and player after every publish with Decker Verifier, so you know content actually plays, not just that it was sent.

  • Decker Player displays content

    Decker Player drives a screen, receives content published from the platform, and shows it on the glass.

  • Decker Verifier checks real screen operation

    Decker Verifier checks a display after publishing and confirms screen status, player status, playback, and connection signals, with photo evidence for the audit trail.

  • Remote recovery actions

    Screens restart remotely, recover their HDMI source, or accept power control instead of a site visit, where the hardware setup supports it.

  • Uptime as a measurable metric

    Continuous verification turns uptime per screen into an operating number teams track, not a guess based on the last complaint from a location manager. It also makes locations comparable with each other, which a publish log never does.

How Decker works: connect, publish, verify, recover

Decker digital signage software follows the same four steps for every rollout, whether it covers one location or hundreds: data in, content out, status back.

  1. Step 1.

    Connect screens and data sources

    Decker connects each display to POS, ERP, API, players, and content sources, so every screen receives the data and business context of its location. Screens connect once and keep that context afterwards.

  2. Step 2.

    Organize content and display rules

    Decker organizes templates, playlists, schedules, locations, and roles in one place, so teams control what plays on each screen group, location, and business scenario.

  3. Step 3.

    Publish the right content to each screen

    Decker publishes to each screen the content that matches its group, location, time, and campaign, without manual file replacement or a local check at each site. Screens publish nothing that falls outside those rules.

    Screens update automatically once Decker publishes a new menu or promotion.
  4. Step 4.

    Verify playback and recover screens remotely

    Decker verifies screens and their playback after publishing; supported issues recover remotely, and the rest get flagged for on-site service. Each new location goes through the same four steps.

Content updates straight from your business data

Decker connects point-of-sale, ERP, and API data straight to screen templates, so teams update prices, items, and offers at every screen network location at once, with no designer and no USB drive. A price change in the source system reaches the screen before the next customer walks in.

  • Data sync

    Decker syncs price, item, and availability changes from the business system to each screen before the next publish.

  • Template-based updates

    Displays update only where values changed, not across the full layout, because Decker maps each value to templates and display rules.

  • Time and location rules

    Screens publish on a schedule by time, location, and format, so each site shows the right offer during the right window.

  • Up to 15–20% sales lift reported from screen promotions

    According to operator materials, well-timed promotions lift sales by up to 15–20% compared with static, rarely updated screens. The figure is not from an audited study, so treat it as directional.

Screen solutions by industry

Decker runs digital signage solutions across industries, from a single location to a multi-state screen network, connecting content, menus, promotions, schedules, and display status in one workflow, so each location shows the right message on the right screen at the right time.

All Solutions

Supported screens and display types

Decker digital signage software runs one workflow across mixed digital signage hardware over HDMI and built-in apps: digital menu boards, TVs, corporate displays, multi-panel walls, touchscreens, information and promo displays, and directory screens.

Displays do not all need a dedicated player. Supported smart TVs and commercial panels run the Decker app directly; other displays connect to an external player, an Android box or a mini PC, over HDMI. Unlike a single-brand built-in app, one workflow covers a mixed fleet. In addition, every display in that fleet reports back to the same monitoring view.

Monitor screen status and recover displays remotely

Decker is the digital signage platform that monitors screens after every publish, the step most signage platforms skip, and alerts operations teams when playback, connection, or display state puts a screen at risk of downtime.

  • Screen status monitoring

    Screens across the network report status, playback, player availability, and display state after content goes live, not after a customer complains.

  • Operational alerts

    Decker alerts the team when playback changes, a connection gap opens, or display state needs attention.

  • Remote recovery workflow

    Decker recovers a display from the dashboard where supported: a restart, an HDMI source recovery, or power control.

  • On-site service decision

    Each screen flags whether the issue recovers remotely or needs a technician on site, so nobody checks screens by hand and field service is dispatched on evidence, not on a complaint.

How Decker compares to other digital signage systems

Decker digital signage software competes with three alternatives that most teams try first, across one screen or 500, and each comes with a real trade-off:

Approach What you get The trade-off
Screen manufacturer’s built-in app Works out of the box Locks a network to one display brand: if part of the fleet runs on other screens, one dashboard won’t cover all of them
Free or community-built tool No license cost Puts someone on your team in the server admin seat: updates, backups, and support fall on you, and syncing business data in is rarely included
General-purpose signage SaaS Scheduling and publishing, covered well Few platforms connect POS or ERP data directly to screen templates, and fewer still verify that a screen is still actually playing after the file goes out
Decker POS/ERP-connected screen templates plus playback verification Built for networks that need that connection: more platform than a single static screen typically needs

Free forever rarely means free for a whole network. Decker’s Starter plan stays free for exactly one screen; POS/ERP sync, multi-location workspaces, and Decker Verifier start on paid plans.

Decker’s position: connect the business data to the screen, then verify the screen is doing its job, the two pieces that a generic tool or a free single-screen app typically leaves for someone else to handle manually. As a result, the platform fits some networks better than others.

Digital signage software plans for one screen or a whole network

Start with one screen free, test every paid feature on up to five screens for 30 days, and pay per screen only when you scale. POS and data sync start on Professional; multi-location workspaces and API access come with Premium.

When Decker is not the right fit

Decker sells digital signage software for networks with real integration and verification needs; below 5 screens it delivers more platform than you need. It is the wrong fit if:

  • You run one or two screens with nothing to sync from a POS or ERP. For that case, the Starter plan of the Decker digital signage software covers one screen free, with no credit card and without a contract.
  • The site has no internet at all. A display plays from local cache through outages of up to 72 hours, but it receives no updates offline.
  • Menus or content change less than once every 90 days, so update frequency won’t justify the integration work.
  • The display shows one static image for its whole life; a basic player covers that for a fraction of the cost.
  • There’s no integration budget yet. Run the free plan for 30 days first; in Decker’s experience, networks above 20 screens across two or more sites usually recover the cost of automation within a quarter.

Our Projects: from print menus to 1–2 minute updates

Burger Shop replaced quarterly print menus with four POS-connected screens in its order area. Price and item changes now reach the screens in 1–2 minutes.

Challenge
Burger Shop reprinted its menu about once a quarter. Every price or promo change went through design, approval, printing, and delivery to 724 S Spring St in Downtown Los Angeles, so one edit took days to weeks.
Solution
Decker connected four screens in the order area to the restaurant's POS. When a price, item, or availability changes in the POS, Decker publishes the update to all four screens automatically.
Results
Menu changes now reach the screens in 1–2 minutes instead of weeks. The POS became the single source of prices, the print cycle disappeared, and guests see accurate information when they order.

Digital signage software FAQ

How is Decker different from other digital signage platforms?

Most digital signage platforms schedule and publish content, then stop. Decker digital signage software adds screen monitoring, remote recovery, and playback verification with Decker Verifier, whether the network has 10 screens or 500.

Can I try Decker digital signage software without paying?

Yes. The free Starter plan covers one screen, free forever, with no credit card and without a contract. POS/ERP sync, automation, multi-location workspaces, and Decker Verifier come with paid plans.

Who hosts and maintains the Decker platform?

Decker is a commercial cloud platform: our team handles hosting, updates, and support, so nobody on your side runs a server.

Does Decker work with POS and ERP systems?

Yes. The platform connects POS, ERP, and API data with screen templates, so prices, menu items, and availability update on screens without rebuilding layouts manually.

Can Decker verify that content is actually playing on screen?

Yes, on paid plans with the Decker Verifier add-on. Scheduling software alone can’t see what’s on the glass; Verifier checks each display after publishing and confirms screen status, playback, and connection, instead of assuming a sent file is a displayed file.

Can Decker recover a screen remotely if it goes down?

Yes, where the hardware setup supports it. Screens restart remotely, recover their HDMI source, or accept power control from the dashboard, and the rest get flagged for on-site service.

Does Decker support multiple locations and franchises?

Yes. Screen groups, locations, roles, and workspaces let central and local teams run a single site, a regional network, or a multi-brand franchise from one account.

What hardware or digital signs does Decker support?

Decker supports TVs, menu screens, corporate displays, multi-panel walls, touchscreens, information and promo displays, and directory screens. Supported smart TVs and commercial panels run the Decker app directly; other displays use an external Android or mini-PC player.

How does Decker protect data and comply with CCPA?

The platform is operated by Alpha Intec, Inc., a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware, USA, with its principal place of business at 8305 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90069, United States. Decker’s digital signage security model encrypts traffic with TLS 1.3, and platform access uses MFA, role-based permissions, and IP allowlisting. California residents have CCPA/CPRA rights described in the Privacy Policy, and the same request process applies to every screen network on the account.

How do I get started or request a demo?

Start free on the Starter plan with one screen, start a trial of a paid tier, or request a demo to review your screen network, integrations, and pricing with the Decker team.
