Showcel: Digital Signage Made Simple – now in Closed Beta
We've got a new member in our Productivity Suite – and we're pretty proud of it: Showcel, our cloud-based digital signage platform. Manage screens, design content and push everything live – from anywhere, on hardware you already own. Showcel is currently in Closed Beta, which is exactly why we're writing this post: we want you on board.

Digital Signage Made Simple
Real-time updates · changes appear on every screen in seconds · No expensive hardware · No lock-in · Live in minutes · Showcel · Real-time updates
That's what Showcel feels like: a screen that updates itself – welcome, daily offer, route plan, waiting-room call-up. All centrally controlled, in real time.
No more hardware lock-in and IT tickets
Classic digital signage is often a hassle: proprietary player boxes, certified-hardware lists, lengthy setups, sync schedules and minimum-term contracts. Want to quickly change the lunch menu on screen? You end up calling your vendor.
Showcel flips that around. It runs on devices you already own, is live in minutes – and changes hit every screen instantly. No installer, no consultant, no IT ticket.
Four promises that make the difference
- Any hardware – Fire TV, Chromecast, Android TV, Raspberry Pi, any browser. No proprietary box, no certified-hardware list.
- No lock-in – Month-to-month, export anytime, no contracts. Your content and layouts stay yours.
- Live in minutes – Pair a screen and publish in one sitting. Changes reach every screen in seconds – not on a sync schedule.
- 30-day full trial – Every Pro feature for 30 days, no credit card. Evaluate on real screens before you pay a cent – then from €6/screen/month.

Runs on hardware you already own
Showcel's rule of thumb: if it can open a web page, it can be a Showcel screen.
- Amazon Fire TV – the €40 favourite, every generation
- Chromecast with Google TV – plug-and-play
- Android TV – player straight on the TV
- Raspberry Pi – for fixed installations
- Any web browser – web player, no installation needed
On top of that, native clients: an Android player with auto-start after reboot and reliable background streaming, plus a Chromecast receiver with automatic reconnect. Pair once, then it just runs.

Frequently asked questions
What is digital signage?
Digital signage means centrally, software-controlled delivery of content to screens – from storefront displays and digital menus to the info screen in a waiting room. Instead of swapping content on site, you push it from the cloud to any number of screens.
How much does digital signage with Showcel cost?
Showcel starts at €6/screen/month (Starter), with Pro at €10/screen/month. Annual billing saves 20%, plus automatic volume discounts. There's no minimum term – cancel monthly.
What hardware do I need for digital signage?
Nothing special. Showcel runs on devices you probably already own: Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast with Google TV, Android TV, Raspberry Pi or any browser. Rule of thumb: if the device can open a web page, it can be a Showcel screen.
How quickly is a screen up and running?
In just a few minutes. You pair the screen with a 6-digit code and publish your content – changes then appear on every screen within seconds, with no sync schedule.
