Dock schedules, arrival and departure boards from live feeds, driver-lounge information, warehouse KPIs, safety notices and terminal wayfinding, managed from one browser. The first 3 screens are free forever; a network of depots pays from $3 per screen per month.

Which trailer goes to which door and when, from a spreadsheet, calendar or XML/JSON feed, on screens at the dock office and the yard gate.
Bus, shuttle, ferry or freight departures from any data feed, with delays and platform changes pushed the moment they are known.
Check-in instructions, wait times, weather and traffic, safety rules and where to park, in the languages your drivers speak.
Picks per hour, orders shipped, backlog and accuracy from any feed, rendered with the charting component on the floor where the team can see them.
Forklift zones, PPE reminders, days-since-incident counters and hazard notices scheduled by area and shift.
Terminal maps, directions to platforms and services, and instant announcements to every screen across a hub.
Boards that feed themselves. Schedules and shipment data from calendars, spreadsheets and XML/JSON feeds keep boards current without a dispatcher retyping them; countdowns and dayparting handle shift and departure windows.
It runs on hardware you already own. SignPlayer runs on Android sticks and Android TV, Chrome OS devices, Windows and Mac PCs, Raspberry Pi and iPads, and inside any browser, so a screen costs an existing TV plus a $30–$60 player. Watchdog restarts the player automatically for unattended 24/7 operation, and content keeps playing through internet outages from the local cache.
Every location gets its own keys. Sub-accounts and permissions let each site, department or franchisee manage only its own screens while head office keeps the master layouts, an instant emergency override and a dashboard of every player's status.
Content updates itself. Weather, news, RSS and social feeds, calendars, countdowns, QR codes, the charting component and any XML/JSON data feed refresh automatically; 180+ templates cover menus, promos, directories and lobby loops.
The price fits the budget. First 3 screens free forever; from $3/screen/month after that with volume pricing in the public calculator, versus $8–$16 on Yodeck, $10–$30 on OptiSigns or $20 on ScreenCloud. Enterprise adds proof of play, white-label branding and touch kiosks; mediaSERVER ($895 one-time) runs on-premise where policy requires.

1. Create a free account (no credit card).
2. Put an Android stick, Chromebox or spare PC behind the dock-office TV and install SignPlayer and Watchdog.

What digital signage should a warehouse or transportation hub use?
For most depots, warehouses and terminals: cloud-managed digital signage such as DigitalSignage.com on commercial displays at docks and gates and ordinary TVs in lounges, with a $30–$60 player behind each screen, data-feed components that turn schedules into boards, an instant override for announcements and site sub-accounts. The first 3 screens are free forever and additional screens cost $3 per screen per month.
Can departure or dock boards update from our own data?
Yes. Calendar, spreadsheet and XML/JSON feeds drive the boards and refresh automatically; delays or door changes pushed from any browser reach every screen within minutes.
Do outdoor yard and dock screens work?
Yes, with high-brightness, weather-rated commercial displays and the player inside a sealed enclosure; the software is the same as for indoor screens.
Can each depot manage its own screens?
Yes. Sub-accounts and permissions limit each site to its own screens while head office keeps master layouts, an emergency override and a dashboard of every player.
How much does logistics digital signage cost?
Software on DigitalSignage.com: $0 for up to 3 screens, then $3 per screen per month, so a 40-screen regional network is about $1,440 a year versus $3,840-$9,600 on Yodeck, OptiSigns or ScreenCloud. Hardware is an existing TV plus a $30–$60 player indoors, or a weather-rated commercial display outdoors.
