ScreenScape

What ScreenScape does

ScreenScape is a cloud-based digital signage platform that enables small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) to connect and control in-store screens over the internet with minimal technical setup. Originally headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the company offered two platform generations — ScreenScape4 and ScreenScape5 — and a hardware-agnostic deployment model centered on the ScreenScape Connect HDMI device. Named customers span retail (Eileen Fisher), healthcare (Murphy's Pharmacies), hospitality (Rodd Hotels and Resorts), automotive (Modern Sales Co-op), and civic/government (Guelph Public Library).

The technology stack combines a cloud-based content management system, a Media Manager for organizing digital assets, Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) capabilities (device health scoring, remote reboot, screenshot capture, uptime monitoring, error logging), a curated asset library, and an SDK/API for enterprise customization. The platform differentiates through self-service onboarding, a hardware-agnostic approach that accommodates existing displays, and an extensive integration catalog spanning social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter), reviews (TripAdvisor, Yelp), collaboration tools (Slack, Zoom, Microsoft Teams), BI dashboards (Power BI, GeckoBoard), POS systems, and enterprise authentication (SAML 2.0 SSO, Active Directory). Security posture includes SOC 2 Type II certification and PCI compliance inherited through Spectrio.

ScreenScape operated a subscription-based revenue model combining recurring software fees with hardware sales of Connect devices. Pricing tiers ranged from a single-screen Basic plan through Professional and Enterprise multi-screen plans billed monthly or annually, scaling to thousands of installations. The company raised approximately $4 million across two funding rounds (a 2007 round led by East Valley Ventures and a 2010 round of $3 million). In January 2021, ScreenScape was acquired by Spectrio, a customer engagement technology provider, after which ScreenScape customers gained access to Spectrio's broader Intelligent Engagement Suite — including digital signage, interactive kiosks, overhead music, WiFi marketing, on-hold messaging, and scent marketing — distributed through Spectrio's Tampa, FL headquarters and direct sales organization.
