Swiss Farms Stores, Headquartered in Broomall, PA, has chosen Advanced AV - Advanced Technologies Group as their partner for in-store digital signage. Swiss Farms, with 12 quick-serve drive-thru convenience stores in the Delaware Valley, is re-branding the current stores, as well as opening brand new stores with a completely new look.
The new stores will feature 4 large LCD displays across each drive-thru side to display current specials and menus. Additionally, there will be an full-color LED display as part of the street sign, driven by the same solution. The chosen software solution is CoolSign to manage the content and playback.
Current locations will be getting a subset of the solution as part of a remodeling effort at each location.
West Chester, PA - July 31, 2008 — Advanced AV’s Advanced Technologies Group (ATG) has initiated a content creation department to offer templates and content for clients to enhance their digital signage solutions. “We wanted to offer a cradle to grave solution for our digital signage clients and Content Creation extends our present customer service capabilities to the next level,” says Kris Vollrath, Vice President and general manager, Advanced Technologies Group, West Chester, PA. Vollrath oversees this new department, which expands the services of ATG’s digital signage solutions.
Robin Brzoska, ATG’s Creative Director, is managing this new department that can offer clients the gamut of creative resources starting from creating templates and single pieces of content to developing an overall look for the system and branding. “Now instead of just installing a solution and walking away until they need us again for upgrades or service, the content creation department gives us more of the lifecycle relationship our clients are asking for,” says Vollrath.
ATG’s Digital Signage clients are corporations and higher education facilities with in-house or ATG-hosted signage systems, as well as customer-oriented signage for retail and financial institutions. “Some clients will want to get up to speed quickly and this gives them that ability,” says Vollrath. Advanced AV is one of a handful of audio-visual dealers with a dedicated digital signage division, and very few of those are providing content creation services. “It was a natural progression for us to begin offering this service to our clients, given our position in the industry,” says Vollrath.
