As another year wraps up, it’s a great time to reflect on what’s changed and what’s stayed the...
Another year (almost) complete! Some things have multiplied – we kept eating, thinking about, and talking about donuts. Other things evolved – like our software. And one thing remained the same – our team’s primary goal.
Our goal to offer you the easiest, most powerful, and affordable digital signage software.
Let’s take a look over the year that was, before we peek into the future.
our team grew up!
This has been our year for internal growth. Over the past 6 years, it has been a challenge to find the right people. But we have never waivered in our pursuit to cultivate a strong team culture. It truly matters who we bring in, because we want people who are here to stay. People we like, can trust, are capable. People who actually care.
Now, at the end of 2023 – with fresh employees and Fusion Signage veterans alike – we are excited to know we have a team of high performers. And we appreciate each and every one!
grill'd pos integration
We were approached by Grill’d looking for a digital signage solution for their new drive-thru concept. Something that had never been done before. They wanted to be able to display a live order being placed on their digital screens – in real-time.
We met with their POS provider, Redcat, and built an integration that was able to achieve exactly what they wanted. We also built a menu widget to display pricing, descriptions, headers, and nutritional info on the screen – updating when a change was made in their POS. This whole project allowed Grill’d to design a menu within Fusion Signage – linking key fields (which are constantly changing) to their POS. This means minimal content updates and the ability to run different pricing around the country, while keeping the same design. Cue a sigh of relief!
A feature for all
This project (thanks everyone involved) is now available to any Fusion Signage customer. Yet another example of how our platform is built by those who use it! If you have an idea for a feature we don’t have yet – let us know and you might be the starting siren for our next cool feature. 😎
integrate's premier software partner
Consider us thrilled to have been Integrate Expo’s 2023 Premier Software Partner (for the 7th year running!). Here are some of our top highlights from the 3 day tech bout!
💙 Seeing over 50,000 of you walk through the doors.
💙 Partnering with a bunch of our amazing Resellers on their stands.
💙 Our Fusion Signage POS integration on display with AOpen.
💙 Seeing our small, hard-working business logo across the entire event. Very proud moment.
We cannot wait for Integrate Expo 2024. You’ll be seeing even more of us there next year (hint hint 👀).
we pressed 'live' on the insider scoop
The way we offer demos changed.
Rather than the back and forth of scheduling, rescheduling, where’s the link, what time were we doing that again (bleh!) – we decided to skip over the hassle and offer demos on demand! We wanted to make sure our customers could brush up on anything and everything at the (very convenient) touch of a button. But we also wanted to make sure everyone could still get that personal touch and extra bit of help when they needed it – so we also launched The Insider Scoop. A group masterclass, of sorts, led by the one-and-only Demo Guy Darren.
We kicked off this masterclass as a weekly option to join in. After about a month though – we noticed attendance was decreasing, but our on-demand views were increasing! Our on-demand and scheduled options were working harmoniously. Like a beautiful symphony of digital signage learning. So we shifted the Insider Scoop to once a month and it’s been happy days for everyone. What a treat! 🍦
500+ licences for concept eight!
In April, they crossed the 500 licence mark. Now they’re up to 576!
From Noodle Box to Pattysmiths Burgers. Wok in a Box to Double Dragon Dumplings. Concept Eight is the exciting name behind some of your most-loved hospitality establishments. Concept Eight became Fusion Signage early adopters in 2017. And 6 years later, they’ve expanded to 130 mouthwatering restaurants across Australia (and 200+ franchises). Not to mention their innovative virtual brands like Plant Patty and Nature’s Wok that offer additional revenue streams inside existing stores. Genius.
We love to watch them grow (and we know they’re not nearly done yet!). Here’s to more innovation and happy tummies next year. ✨
reseller webinars
Toward the tail-end of this year, we kicked off a webinar series with our Resellers! Each one a little different from the last – showcasing the in-and-outs of the Fusion Signage platform, how to use it strategically, what’s coming next, and how to utilise both us and your Reseller (as a cute and helpful team). It was initially designed for our Resellers to use as they wished – sending the recording to end-users who might find it helpful. But with each event, we realised something new was touched on in each and every one. You can find them on our YouTube here.
Or if you want to get involved, you can contact us here!
11,000+ active licences
Another sub-heading, another milestone! We made it across the 11,000 active licences mark. We love each and every one of you. Whether you’re an end-user, a reseller, a partner, or a distributor – we thank you all the same. We are eternally grateful for your part in our digital signage puzzle. We’re buzzing around with sheer joy knowing that the software we offer, makes life just that little bit sweeter, simpler and smoother.
