CMS for Screens
A content management system designed specifically for digital signage — managing layouts, playlists, scheduling and player devices instead of web pages.
Unlike a web CMS, a signage CMS has to deal with hardware: pairing physical devices, pushing updates over the network, falling back to cached content when offline, and reporting back on what actually played. Spot handles the full lifecycle: pair a player via one-time code, build layouts in a Canva-style editor, publish over WebSockets in under a second, and audit every action.
