Customer case study
Unica uses DST Connect digital signage software for multiple locations — around 30 screens across more than 20 sites, managed from one central platform, so important information reaches every employee without anyone having to look for it.
Unica is a national technical services provider with 5,000 employees spread across 50+ locations and nine clusters. Keeping internal communication consistent and visible across such a large, distributed organisation is a real challenge.
Intranet and email require people to actively seek out information. Not everyone does. And with so many colleagues working on the go or on the shop floor, there was a clear need for a channel that brought information to people passively, wherever they already were.
The previous screen management portal also caused frustration. It fell short on reliability, and because so many different people across the organisation needed to work with it, ease of use became a critical requirement.
Unica implemented a digital signage setup with DST Connect, managing around 30 screens across more than 20 locations from a single platform. The setup combines a central main playlist with local playlists per department, giving each location the flexibility to show relevant content while maintaining a consistent look and feel across the organisation.
Organisation-wide news, announcements, and updates that apply to all locations and departments.
Each location or cluster can add its own content, tailored to the team and context on the ground.
All content is built using professional templates that match Unica’s brand identity, ensuring every screen looks consistent regardless of who creates the content.
DST Connect manages all screens from one user-friendly platform. Anyone in the organisation who needs to publish content can do so without technical knowledge. The system is designed to be plug and play, which was the decisive factor for Unica given the number of people working with it across the organisation.
“Information is presented to you as you walk past. You do not have to look anything up, it is just there.”
