Screens that sell cars and keep customers informed.

Cloud-managed displays for showrooms, service receptions, and multi-dealership groups — scheduled centrally, updated in minutes.

viewneo is a cloud-based digital signage platform used by car dealerships, showrooms, service centres, and multi-brand dealer groups. It connects showroom displays, video walls, service reception boards, and vehicle spec screens to one content management system, so marketing and IT teams can manage every screen across every site without visiting a single location.

Why do dealerships need managed digital signage?

Automotive retail depends on a high-quality, consistent presentation at every customer touchpoint. A showroom screen showing an expired offer, a service board with static information, or a video wall running last season’s campaign reflects directly on the brand. At the same time, dealer groups operate across many sites, and the cost of manually updating content at each one is substantial. Static printed materials cannot reflect real-time pricing changes, and manufacturer OEM requirements mean central brand control must coexist with local content flexibility.

How does viewneo work in a dealership?

viewneo gives the entire dealership network a single content management layer. viewneo Enterprise is the central hub: the group marketing team designs playlists, schedules campaigns by date or time of day, and pushes content to every screen simultaneously. Each dealership site gets a sub-account with permissions set by the group — local managers can publish site-specific content such as opening hours, local offers, and upcoming events, but cannot alter mandatory brand or OEM campaign content.

For showroom screens that display model information and finance examples, the viewneo Open Interface API connects to your dealer management system or pricing feed. When a rate or model availability changes in your source system, the change propagates to screens automatically — no content team intervention needed.

What goes on a showroom screen?

A well-configured showroom screen does several jobs:

  • Current model highlights: trim levels, colour options, and standard features for vehicles on the floor or in the order book.
  • Finance and leasing examples: monthly payment examples, deposit amounts, and representative APR, updated when rates change via the API feed.
  • Manufacturer brand films: scheduled video content from the OEM, shown at appropriate times of day without manual intervention.
  • In-house promotions: service packages, accessories, and seasonal campaigns created by local or group marketing.

Scheduling in viewneo means content rotates automatically. A morning slot can show finance offers to early buyers; an afternoon slot can shift to used-car inventory — all configured once, running without staff involvement.

Service reception: reducing wait frustration

Service customers are a captive audience, and their satisfaction depends heavily on how well they are kept informed. A viewneo service reception board shows:

  • The customer’s name and vehicle registration
  • Current stage in the service process
  • Estimated completion time
  • Service adviser name and extension number

This reduces the number of counter enquiries from customers asking for updates, freeing service advisers for higher-value conversations. viewneo logs screen interaction and dwell patterns, giving service managers data to identify peak demand periods and queue bottlenecks.

Video walls and brand film installations

Manufacturer brand guidelines frequently specify large-format video wall installations in the showroom. viewneo’s hardware range supports large-format and multi-panel configurations — the same video wall management used in high-footfall retail environments works equally well for automotive brand film installations. The CMS schedules manufacturer-supplied campaign films alongside dealer-created content, with OEM content locked to time slots that the local site cannot override.

Multi-site management for dealer groups

A dealer group operating multiple brands across multiple sites faces a content management challenge that a single-site setup does not. viewneo Enterprise handles this with:

FeatureWhat it means for a dealer group
Sub-account modelEach site gets its own scoped account — local editors, local content
Template lockingGroup or OEM templates cannot be altered at site level
Central schedulingGroup campaigns go live simultaneously across all sites
API integrationOne DMS or pricing feed connection serves all sites
Audit logContent changes at every site are logged centrally

What viewneo does for automotive

One platform, every screen in the dealership.

  • Display current model lines, trim levels, and in-house finance offers on showroom screens. Update pricing and promotions without touching a screen.

  • Service-bay status boards

    Show customers their vehicle status, estimated wait times, and service adviser contact at the service reception — reducing counter enquiries.

  • Place screens beside cars on the showroom floor. Pull live pricing and configuration data via the Open Interface API so the displayed spec matches your DMS.

  • Run manufacturer brand films and campaign content on large-format video walls. Schedule by time of day or season from the central CMS.

  • Manage every dealership location from one account. Assign local content editors per site with viewneo Enterprise sub-accounts while keeping brand consistency.

  • Connect your inventory or pricing system to viewneo via the Open Interface. Prices and availability update automatically — no manual content changes needed.

Showroom screens that react to your inventory

Pull live model data, finance examples, and current offers from your dealer management system into showroom displays via the viewneo Open Interface API. When a price changes in your system, the screen updates automatically — no content editor required.

Service reception: less waiting, more transparency

Show customers where their vehicle is in the service queue, the estimated completion time, and their service adviser's name and extension. Paired with viewneo, service managers can identify peak wait periods and adjust staffing.

Three screens in a dealer group office show the same spring campaign with local branches Hamburg, Bremen and Kiel.

Central management for dealer groups

A dealer group with ten sites does not need ten content teams. viewneo Enterprise gives the central marketing team control of brand campaigns, while sub-accounts let each site manager publish local offers, events, and service hours — all from the same cloud platform.

Frequently asked questions

Can viewneo pull pricing data from our dealer management system?
Yes. The viewneo Open Interface accepts data from any source that provides a JSON or XML feed. Connect your DMS or inventory system once; prices, model availability, and finance rates update on screen automatically. See viewneo Enterprise for the integration overview.
How are content permissions managed across a dealer group?
viewneo Enterprise uses a sub-account model. The group marketing team controls brand templates and mandatory content; each site manager gets a scoped account to publish local content — such as opening hours, upcoming events, or local promotions — without the ability to override brand guidelines.
What hardware does viewneo recommend for automotive showrooms?
For single-screen showroom displays and service boards, the viewneo media players pair with any commercial display. For video walls and large-format brand installations, see the hardware range for large-format options.
How long does a single-site dealership rollout take?
A single dealership can go live within days once hardware is on site. Content scheduling, playlists, and integrations are configured in the cloud — no on-site IT visit required for updates after installation.
Is viewneo suitable for manufacturer-mandated digital programmes?
Yes. viewneo supports brand-compliant templates, scheduled manufacturer campaign content, and role-based access so dealer staff cannot override required OEM content. Specific programme requirements vary by manufacturer; contact sales to discuss your setup.
