Double Bookings and A Lack of Space
Due to Covid-19 a lot of the sales employees started booking more online meetings and webinars than previously. Because of this, the company’s meeting facilities were used a lot more than usual. At the same time, Food Diagnostics started experiencing that, often people occupied the meeting rooms despited it being booked by others. This resulted in several situations where the meeting rooms were double booked or occupied when people needed them.
Because of these problems, Food Diagnostics decided to look for a solution that could help them keep track of the day-to-day activities and booking of the company meeting facilities. Food Diagnostics started looking for a digital signage solution where they could put up a screen outside every meeting room listing the day’s activities. At the same time, they also wanted to update the screen in the canteen, so they could display different types of information.
“The lack of meeting rooms was becoming quite a problem and we need a solution that was easy to use. That is what we found at NordicScreen”
Tonny Nielsen, CEO, Food Diagnostics
A Solution that Works
Despite the original plan of Food Diagnostics, which was a digital signage screen in the canteen and outside each meeting room, the most suitable solution turn out to be a combination of a Q-Play digital signage solution and a Q-Cal Meeting Room Display solution.
Up and Running, All On Their Own
After a look at the NordicScreen website and a small question about price, Food Diagnostics was up and running with their solution in no time. They created their free Q-Play account and from here they designed their solution, ordered their Q-Play subscription, downloaded the software to their own windows player, and connected all of it to the screen in their canteen. All done online and on their own.
3 Meeting Room Displays
After a short while, we had a talk about their solution, and once again the issues with the meeting rooms were raised. This led to a good talk about the many advantages of using Q-Cal Meeting Room Displays to manage your meeting facilities. This resulted in Food Diagnostics increasing their digital signage solution with two meeting room displays and Q-Cal calendar integration to their existing calendar. This way we ensure that Food Diagnostics’ solution doesn’t require a lot of work from the employees. All they have to do is use their calendar as normal. After only a short while, Food Diagnostics expanded its solution with yet another meeting room display.
“The combination of Q-Play and Q_Cal is just what we needed. We can use our calendar as usual and our screens are automatically updated with the necessary information”
Tonny Nielsen, CEO, Food Diagnostics
Maintaining the Solution
Maintaining Food Diagnostics digital signage solution is fairly easy. The integration between their calendar and Q-Cal ensures that their meeting room displays always update automatically based on the activities in the calendar. The same goes for the screen in the canteen. By using SignageView to display a list of each day’s activities this list also updates automatically based on the calendar activities and changes.
The screen in the canteen contains all types of information other than the day’s activities. The information is all managed and updated by Food Diagnostics. But, the many time management features make it very easy to make sure that content goes up and down automatically, always ensuring relevant content on the screen.
Security protocols and software updates are handled by NordicScreen as always.
