One control panel, screens across every location
Ship updates to every screen across every location from one place. The solution graduated into a real NEROOM product.
Timeline: ~10 weeks · Pilot → multi-site → product
The problem
Every menu or promotion change meant sending someone — physically — to each location to update screens, or relying on local staff with USB sticks.
Errors were inevitable: outdated prices on screens for days, mismatched promos between locations, no audit trail.
No off-the-shelf signage tool fit how the operations team actually worked.
Our approach
- Built a thin player app that runs on cheap hardware at each site and pulls content from a central CMS.
- Designed the CMS around the operations team's real workflow: schedule a promo, push to a tagged group of locations, see confirmation when each screen has it.
- Built in fallback content so screens never go blank if the network drops — they keep showing the last good content.
- Onboarding flow built around a QR code: scan to claim a new screen in under five minutes.
The result
The retail group now updates every screen from one panel. Onboarding a new screen takes minutes.
The same engine became the foundation of Nemenu — NEROOM's digital-menu product now used by other operators.
Operations team got their hours back; locations stopped getting calls about wrong prices.
We needed signage across dozens of locations that we could update from one place. They shipped a solution we now run as a real product, and onboarding a new screen takes minutes.

More work
AI workflow that replaced three roles
A three-person team was spending most of their week on repetitive document review, classification, and routing. We built an AI workflow that does the same job in seconds and re-deployed the team to revenue-generating work.

Their AWS bill was climbing every month independent of revenue. We audited usage, right-sized everything, introduced proper auto-scaling, and moved batch work off always-on instances. Same SLA, much smaller invoice.

A field-services operator had teams spread across the country and no clear picture of where anyone was. We built a tracking platform that surfaces live location, job status, and ETAs into a single ops view — built around the existing workflow, not on top of it.
