Signage software and integration
Digital Signage Software & Data Integration
Connect your displays with the systems behind your business. Red Earth develops signage software, control interfaces and data integrations using Fusion, PADS4 or our own software.
Platforms
Established platforms or our own software.
Platform selection follows your requirements and the systems you already have.
-
Fusion and PADS4 development
We have built solutions with both Fusion and PADS4. We can develop content interfaces and integrations around an existing platform, subject to its capabilities, access and project requirements.
-
Our own software
Where a tailored approach suits the project, we can build using our own software in partnership with Metromatics. This allows the interface and content workflow to be designed around the information you need to display.
Connected information
Screens that show
what’s happening now.
Our historical project experience includes live sports statistics, room-booking information and remotely managed visitor content. We assess the source data and develop the connection and presentation needed for the project.
Integration process
How an integration comes together.
These are the requirements we work through on every integration. Update frequency and behaviour depend on the systems involved.
-
Identify the source
We identify where the information comes from and how it can be accessed, such as an API, a data export or a feed from the provider.
-
Agree update behaviour
We agree how often the display should update and what it should show if the data is unavailable.
-
Develop the connection
We build the connection and the presentation of the information on screen.
-
Test with the display system
We test the integration with the signage platform and the agreed display hardware.
-
Document operation
We document how the integration works and what to check if something changes at the source.
Controls and management
Controls and management interfaces.
Give operators practical tools to manage displays and content. We develop interfaces around the tasks people need to perform, from content updates to project-specific display controls.
For the Adelaide 36ers, LaunchPADS provided a custom control centre that let game-day production, including the perimeter advertising screen, be adjusted in real time.
Project experience
Integration projects we can draw on.
The first three were delivered under the LaunchPADS name; their original platforms and partners are credited. Our PADS4 integration experience also includes airport and passenger-information projects.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about signage software and integration.
Can you connect to our business system?
We can look at the interfaces, permissions and data your system makes available, then recommend whether and how it can be connected. Not every system can be connected, and we’ll tell you if yours can’t.
Can you work with Fusion or PADS4?
Yes. We have built solutions with both Fusion and PADS4.
Is custom software the only option?
No. We choose the platform to suit your requirements and the systems you already have. That might be Fusion, PADS4 or our own software.
Who owns the software and what support is included?
Ownership, licensing, maintenance and any third-party costs are set out in the proposal for your project, so you know what’s included before work starts.
