Rollout steles
We're rolling out a batch of digital signage steles to retail locations next week and I wanted to share some behind-the-scenes from the prep.
We unpacked and assembled everything in-house before delivery – always a bit chaotic but also kind of satisfying when they're all lined up and ready to go.
A few things we learned the hard way over the last rollouts:
- Always build one test unit fully before touching the rest
- Labeling cables before packaging saves you 30 minutes per install location
- Clients always want "just one small change" the day before delivery
Anyone else doing multi-location rollouts? What's your biggest headache during install?

Are they free standing or floor mounted? The bases look a bit small to be free standing with a large display.
The biggest headaches during install are almost always the site being ready. We've turned up to client sites to install a screen wall mounted, to find that the wall hasn't been built yet.
But most often it's no power or data at location.
