Cenareo

What Cenareo does

Cenareo is a French cloud-native SaaS provider that develops digital signage and corporate video content management platforms for enterprise customers. The company's product portfolio comprises Cenareo Digital Signage (a SaaS CMS for creating, scheduling, and distributing multimedia content across multi-site screen networks), Cenareo Video (a corporate video project management solution acquired through EasyMovie with collaborative workflows and brand template tooling), and Dedicast/Neotess (an on-premise CMS acquired in February 2026 that adds 7,500 CMS players and serves a new Industry vertical for sovereign industrial deployments). The combined installed base exceeds 30,000 active units across retail, corporate internal communications, and industrial segments.

The technology architecture centers on a cloud-native CMS with native integrations into major display hardware ecosystems, including Samsung Tizen and NEC screens. Proprietary components include Smart Programming (an intelligent algorithm that builds communication scenarios from broadcast criteria), Performance Monitoring (analytics on media attractiveness, content freshness, and campaign contextualization), Weather-Reactive Dynamic Signage (contextual messaging driven by weather conditions), and Glocal Management (multi-tier user rights for decentralized networks). The platform supports video, image, text, audio (via the La Playlist stake), and structured data inputs, with integrations for DOOH Trust certification and Google Reviews.

Cenareo operates a B2B SaaS subscription model with annual billing and tiering based on screen fleet size, supplemented by hardware sales or rental of low-power media players. The go-to-market is enterprise-focused, combining direct sales with demo-driven conversion, channel partnerships (Microsoft Co-Sell, SPIE for energy management), and technology integrations with display OEMs. The company is headquartered in Labège, France, with additional offices in Paris, Saint-Étienne, New York, and Tunis, and serves customers including L'Oréal, Volvo, Dassault Aviation, SNCF, Boulanger, Nespresso, and Fitness Park. Cenareo reached profitability in 2022 and has since pursued a build-up M&A strategy to extend from screen CMS into video, audio, and DOOH yield management.

Core offering

Cenareo provides a cloud-based SaaS platform for digital signage and corporate video communication, enabling organizations to create, schedule, and centrally distribute multimedia content across screen networks. The offering bundles signage orchestration with a video project management tool (Cenareo Video, including the acquired EasyMovie) for producing and distributing corporate videos at scale, supported by glocal user rights management, analytics, weather-reactive programming, and a low-power media player.

Product overview

Cenareo is a France-based MarTech company offering a dual-product portfolio: (1) Cenareo Digital Signage, a cloud-native SaaS platform for managing screen networks across retail, corporate, and industrial environments, featuring intelligent content programming and performance analytics; and (2) Cenareo Video (which includes the acquired EasyMovie platform), a video project management solution for creating, managing, and distributing video content at scale. Following the 2023 EasyMovie acquisition and the 2026 Neotess/Dedicast acquisition, the company also offers on-premise CMS capabilities (Neotess, Dedicast) for industrial and sovereignty-focused deployments. The company positions itself as a 'become your own media' platform targeting large retail networks, multi-site corporations, and advertising agencies.
