PPDS has confirmed the evolution of its latest solution through a partnership with Grassfish, introducing an array of exciting experience-enhancing features and opportunities for retailers on Philips Tableaux ePaper displays.
This integration sees the Philips Tableaux Series join other Philips Android SoC retail signage displays from PPDS, becoming fully compatible and certified to operate using the Grassfish IXM platform. This collaboration brings forth new capabilities and prospects for retailers, encompassing cost and energy savings. An installation is already in progress at a major international airport, with additional details set to be revealed soon.
PPDS and Grassfish have strategically aligned their efforts to provide exceptional experiences for retail customers by harnessing the power of digital displays, while simultaneously fostering more sustainable and eco-friendly environments.
Roland Grassberger, Global Head of IXM Platform at Grassfish, remarked: “Both high stability and green capabilities are imperative for forward-looking projects. This is a commitment that we, as a business, hold ourselves and our partners to. PPDS has exhibited its dedication not only to spearheading sustainability within the industry but also to delivering solutions that can truly impact retailers and their clientele. We are delighted to have certified the Philips Tableaux for use on our platform, opening up more influential and sustainable avenues for new and existing global customers.”
In reference to this latest advancement for the Philips Tableaux range, Tim de Ruiter, Global Business Development and Partnerships Director at PPDS, added: “We are excited that our Philips Tableaux Series has received approval for seamless integration with the Grassfish platform. PPDS remains committed to bolstering the retail sector, introducing innovative hardware and dedicated software solutions that make a meaningful difference and fill gaps where other solutions might be impractical or economically unviable.”
De Ruiter continued: “The Philips Tableaux Series has truly captured the imagination of the retail market, and gaining approval from Grassfish marks another significant stride in our aspirations. We are enthusiastic about the opportunities that lie ahead, ushering in fresh digital content possibilities and, just as importantly, assisting businesses in further enhancing their environmental credentials.”
Unveiled at ISE 2023 in Asia Pacific, InfoComm Asia, and in North America at InfoComm 2023, Philips Tableaux ePaper displays have ushered in an exciting new era of digital signage. This series offers full-size, full-colour, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly opportunities. The Tableaux displays deliver vibrant content while operating wirelessly and consuming zero power (24/7 indefinitely) between content updates, using ultra-low power to transition images.
Roland Grassberger concluded: “Through the power of Grassfish IXM, Philips Tableaux displays can now seamlessly integrate into digital ecosystems, encompassing Product Information Management (PIM), Digital Asset Management (DAM), and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). This synergy enables the creation of next-level, dynamic, and personalized in-store brand journeys, while also curbing a store’s power consumption for a more sustainable retail digital experience.
“Furthermore, Philips Tableaux can now be effortlessly used alongside DOOH and SSP networks, unlocking the full potential of both technologies and allowing businesses to expand their reach and impact through unified advertising campaigns.”
