HOW IT WORKS

One Platform. The Complete Retail Media Network Stack.

42 Digital Signage connects every layer of your retail media operation — from ad scheduling through to audience-verified proof of performance.

  • Define Your Inventory
    Group screens by store, format, aisle zone, or audience profile. Create sellable inventory packages in minutes — not months. Unlimited screen groupings, unlimited flexibility.
  • Accept Campaigns — Direct or Programmatic
    Brands book directly through your team, or ads fire automatically via our programmatic integrations with Hivestack, Broadsign Reach, Vistar Media, and Place Exchange. You stay in control at all times.
  • Deliver With Precision
    Schedule by daypart, store, demographic zone, or trigger — POS data, weather, stock levels, live data feeds. Your rules, applied automatically, across every screen simultaneously.
  • Measure & Report Automatically
    Every play is logged as proof of play. Quividi audience data adds real dwell time and verified demographic measurement. Automated reports go directly to brand partners — zero manual effort required.

PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

42 Digital Signage is built to minimise the time your team spends inside the platform — so they can focus on growing revenue, not managing software.

Powerful Where It Counts. Simple Where It Matters.

Fast Campaign Trafficking

Upload, schedule and activate a campaign across thousands of screens in under five minutes. Drag-and-drop scheduling, bulk operations, and template libraries eliminate every repetitive task.

SPEED

Unlimited Scalability

100 or 100,000 screens — the platform scales without performance degradation. Multi-region, multi-timezone, multi-currency, all managed from a single login. No per-screen pricing penalties as you grow.

ENTERPRISE

Enterprise Security & Permissions

Role-based access control, SSO integration, full audit logs, and granular permissions ensure the right people see — and change — only what they should. Built for enterprise governance.

GOVERNANCE

Branded Templates & Creative Ops

Give brand partners a library of on-brand, spec-compliant templates. Creative goes live faster, stays on-brand, and your ops team spends zero time correcting file formats or rejecting creatives.

CREATIVE

Truly Hardware Agnostic

Samsung SoC, LG webOS, BrightSign, Android, Windows — any mix of hardware in your estate managed identically from one platform. No rip-and-replace required to launch your network.

FLEXIBILITY

Revenue & Performance Dashboards

Live dashboards give your team instant visibility into utilisation, fill rates, revenue pacing, and campaign delivery — with zero manual reporting. Everything surfaces automatically.

INTELLIGENCE

Automation & Rules Engine

Set it and let it run. Define rules for dayparting, content rotation, audience-triggered swaps, emergency overrides, and more. Automation reduces your ops overhead as you scale up.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Everything You Need to
Know

How quickly can we launch a Retail Media Network with 42 Digital Signage?

Most customers go live within 4–8 weeks. We handle onboarding, hardware commissioning, and your first programmatic integrations as part of the implementation process. Our team has launched retail media networks from scratch in under a month for time-sensitive rollouts.

How does the Quividi integration work in practice?

Quividi cameras — or existing cameras loaded with the Quividi SDK — provide anonymous audience data including estimated age ranges, gender profiles, and dwell time, all matched against our proof-of-play logs. The result is a verified impression count with demographic depth that brand partners and agencies can use for campaign measurement. No personally identifiable information is ever captured or stored — the system is 100% GDPR-compliant.

Which programmatic DOOH platforms do you integrate with?

We have live integrations with Hivestack and Shinka. If you need a specific platform we haven’t yet integrated, we’ll build it for you at no additional cost.

Can we run direct-sold campaigns alongside programmatic?

Absolutely. The platform gives you full control over inventory allocation. Define share-of-voice splits between direct-sold, programmatic, and house campaigns at the network, screen group, or individual screen level. Priority rules always protect your premium direct-sold inventory from programmatic fill.
 

We have a mixed estate — Samsung, BrightSign, and older Android players. Can 42 DS manage all of them?

Yes. We support Samsung Tizen SoC, LG webOS, BrightSign, Android, and Windows-based players — all managed from a single interface. This is critical for large retail estates where hardware has been procured across many years and multiple generations. You don’t need to rip and replace anything to launch a media network on top.

Can we white label the platform entirely under our own brand?

Yes — full white labelling is available including your own domain, logo, UI colour scheme, login screen, and branded reporting. Your advertisers and agencies interact entirely with your brand, with no 42 Digital Signage branding visible anywhere in the experience.
