What’s Included in the BrandCast Early Adopter Beta
We’re building BrandCast to solve one core problem: making it effortless for franchises to share content across locations while maintaining brand consistency. Here’s what you’ll be able to do when the early adopter beta launches in Q1 2026.
Turn Any Tablet Into a Display (In 60 Seconds)
No expensive hardware. No complicated installation. No IT department required.
- Log into BrandCast and create a new display for your location
- A unique URL and QR code are generated instantly
- Scan the QR code with your tablet (iPad, Android, Amazon Fire)
That’s it. Your tablet is now a professional digital display that updates automatically.
What this means for you: Deploy displays to 50 locations in an afternoon, not 6 months. Use tablets you already own or buy inexpensive ones for $100-200 each instead of $1,500 proprietary displays.
Two-Tier Content Libraries
This is where BrandCast really shines. Every store is a member of a brand, and content flows seamlessly between both levels.
Brand Library (Corporate Level)
Upload approved content that every store in your brand can access:
- Seasonal promotions
- Brand messaging
- Corporate announcements
- Menu boards
- Product launches
Example: Upload your summer promotion once. All 200 franchise locations can immediately add it to their displays.
What this means for you: Create once, use everywhere. No more emailing the same promo to 200 different franchisees.
Store Library (Individual Location)
Each store uploads content specific to their location:
- Store hours
- Local events
- Staff spotlights
- Community partnerships
- Location-specific pricing or offers
Example: Your Main Street location is hiring. The manager uploads a “Now Hiring” slide that only shows at their store.
What this means for you: Franchisees have the flexibility they need without losing brand consistency.

Real-Time Content Updates
Change your mind about a promotion? Fix a typo? Update pricing?
Make the change once in your library, and every display showing that content updates within seconds. No app to download. No cache to clear. No tablets to restart.
What this means for you: Flash sale goes live at 9am? Update all displays at 8:59am from your phone.
Multi-Location Display Management
See every display across your entire franchise network:
- Which displays are online/offline
- What content is currently showing
- When content was last updated
- Display health and status
Filter by region, location, or display type. Find problems before your franchisees call you.
Role-Based Access Control
Give everyone exactly the access they need, nothing more:
- Brand Librarians: Can upload to Brand Library, see all locations
- Regional Managers: Can manage their territory, upload to Regional Library
- Store Managers: Can manage their location, upload to Local Library
- Display Operators: Can control displays, can’t modify content
What this means for you: Your summer intern can manage displays without accidentally deleting your entire content library.
Content Scheduling (Coming in Beta)
Schedule content to show during specific times:
- Breakfast menu: 6am-11am
- Lunch menu: 11am-4pm
- Dinner menu: 4pm-close
- Different content for weekdays vs. weekends
Set it once, forget about it.
Integration Ready
Connect to services you already use:
- Google Calendar: Show upcoming events automatically
- Google Photos: Display photos from shared albums
- Weather: Auto-updating weather for each location
- RSS Feeds: News, industry updates, corporate announcements
More integrations coming based on early adopter feedback.
What’s Coming Next: Our Roadmap
We’re building BrandCast iteratively, launching with core features that deliver immediate value. Here’s what we’re working on for future releases:
Video Content Support
Images and text are powerful, but video takes engagement to the next level. We’re building seamless video upload, transcoding, and playback optimized for tablets.
Why it’s exciting: Imagine your seasonal promotion with motion graphics, or training videos playing in your employee information center.
Advanced Analytics & Reporting
See what content performs best across your brand:
- Which slides get the most attention
- Peak viewing times for each location
- Content performance by region
- Display uptime and health metrics
Why it’s exciting: Make data-driven decisions about what content resonates with customers.
Mobile Apps
While the web interface works great on phones and tablets, native iOS and Android apps will make management even faster.
Why it’s exciting: Update content from anywhere with an optimized mobile experience.
Interactive Touchscreen Features
Turn displays into interactive experiences:
- Product catalogs customers can browse
- Wayfinding for large locations
- Self-service kiosks
- Customer feedback collection
Why it’s exciting: Transform passive displays into customer engagement tools.
Expanded Integrations
Beyond Google Calendar and Photos, we’re planning:
- POS system integration for real-time pricing
- Social media feeds
- Inventory-based content (show what’s in stock)
- Custom API access for enterprise customers
Why it’s exciting: Your displays become part of your tech ecosystem, not another silo.
