Introducing Wallboard’s Browser Client App (PWA): A Game-Changer for Digital Signage

Have you ever felt limited by the types of devices that could display your digital signage content? Well, we’ve got some exciting news that’s going to expand your digital horizons. Wallboard’s newly launched Browser Client App, a Progressive Web App (PWA), is here to shake things up, especially for those using ChromeOS devices and anyone facing compatibility challenges with traditional apps.

Why We Created the Browser Client App

Our journey started with a simple goal: to make digital content deployment accessible on more devices. Traditionally, our platform supported devices running on systems like BrightSign, Android, Windows, Samsung Tizen, and LGWebOS. However, we noticed a gap — a significant number of users with ChromeOS devices, such as media players for signage or interactive kiosks, were left out.

Enter the Browser Client App. This solution is perfect for anyone whose devices can run a Chromium browser version 71 or higher. It’s not just about adding another option; it’s about providing a robust tool for managing content across diverse hardware, without the need for intensive device management capabilities.

What Makes the PWA Special?

ChromeOS users, rejoice! If you’re looking for a seamless way to manage interactive kiosks, or need a sophisticated content management system that’s intuitive and feature-rich, our PWA is your new best friend. It’s designed to run flawlessly on ChromeOS, making it ideal for applications like check-in stations, self-ordering systems, and interactive directories.

Not on ChromeOS? No worries. Our PWA works great on any device that can set a home app to launch a URL on startup, broadening its usability.

Who Will Love This?

• Interactive Kiosk Implementers: If your projects involve interactive kiosks on ChromeOS, our PWA offers a fluid design and workflow features that streamline content management and permissions.
• Mixed Device Managers: For those managing a variety of devices, some of which don’t meet the physical hardware specs or OS requirements for traditional apps, our PWA bridges that gap beautifully, requiring only an up-to-date Chromium browser.
• Digital Signage Innovators: If you’re looking to push the boundaries of what digital signage can do, from managing internal ad networks to integrating with third-party systems, our PWA provides the tools for complex, data-driven content creation.

Benefits of the Browser Client App

• Extended Device Support: Our PWA expands your digital reach, enabling you to use a wider array of devices for your digital signage, including those previously unsupported.

• Purpose-Built for Efficiency: Designed to offer a scalable, app-like experience, our Browser Client App excels in environments that require efficient, effective content management solutions.
