Digital signage software for franchises and chains
Pantarix is digital signage software for franchises and chains of locations: one central account with screens grouped by site, region or format, permissions per person and per site, and campaigns scheduled once that reach every location. Head office controls the brand; each site manages its hours and notices. Everything lands in the activity log, and screens keep playing even if a site loses its connection.
What digital signage software isWhat to show
What to show on the screen
- 01
National campaign
The seasonal promotion, as video or poster, on every screen in the chain at once and with an end date.
- 02
Menu and prices by region
Groups by region or by store format: each with its own menu and prices.
- 03
Local notices
The franchisee publishes its hours, vacancies or local event without touching the brand campaign.
- 04
Product launches
The new product goes live the same day in every location, with the poster approved by head office.
- 05
Internal communication
In the back room or the kitchen: shifts, targets and notices from head office.
A day with Pantarix
How it is used in franchises and chains
- Monday 9:00 · Seasonal campaign
Marketing publishes the campaign video to the “All locations” group, from the 1st to the 30th, with each region’s price poster.
- Tuesday · A site with no signal
In the dashboard, the Zaragoza screen has had no signal for two hours. One call: it had been unplugged for cleaning. A minute later it is back.
- Thursday · Opening a site
The new site installs the app, types the code and five minutes later plays the chain campaign and its regional menu.
Examples
Example content for franchises and chains
Boards made with Pantarix templates and AI Studio. Yours will carry your logo, your colours and your prices.
Features
What a business like yours uses every day
Different content by time of day
Breakfast, lunch, afternoon and evening: each slot plays its playlist without anyone changing it. By weekday and by date too.
Updated from your phone
A price, a photo or a notice changes from the phone and is on every screen in seconds.
Works offline
The player stores the content locally. If the internet drops, the screen keeps playing the last thing it downloaded.
Several sites, one account
Group screens by site or area and publish to all at once, or to each its own. Each manager sees only their part.
Videos, images and live
MP4, JPG and PNG, plus HLS or RTSP channels: the match at the bar or a corporate channel in the waiting room.
Landscape or portrait
TVs in landscape, totems in portrait: the same playlist adapted to each orientation.
Automatic power on and off
Screens switch on and off with your opening hours over HDMI-CEC.
AI-generated posters
Write what you want to promote and AI Studio composes the poster with your logo, colours and typography, scheduled at the right time.

Common questions from franchises and chains
Can head office publish to every location at once?
Yes. Screens are grouped by site, region or format, and a campaign is scheduled once for the whole group, with a start and an end date.
What can each franchisee change?
Whatever you allow: their hours, their notices, their local playlist. Each person’s role is set per site, and everything lands in the activity log.
How are different prices per region handled?
With groups by region: each group has its menu and prices; the brand campaign is shared and the price is set by the group.
Can we approve content before it is published?
Yes. With client approval enabled, whatever a third party schedules (your agency, for instance) stays pending until head office approves it.
How many screens and sites does it support?
From a three-site chain to hundreds of screens. The Business plan includes 20; above that, custom plans and a plan for agencies managing several brands.
Does it integrate with our POS or ERP?
Yes, through the Pantarix REST API and webhooks: prices, products and campaigns can be synced from your systems.
