What makes NowBoard different
Five reasons NowBoard is different.
Screens that make you money
Local businesses pay to advertise on your screens. You approve every advert and keep most of what they pay.
Run it from your phone
Change any screen in seconds from a phone or tablet, from your desk or the train.
Works on the TVs you have
Android TV, Raspberry Pi, or any Windows PC, Mac or Chromebook in a web browser.
Ready-made for offices
Boards for meeting rooms, reception, notices and the canteen. Change a notice without a designer.
AI and your own designs
Describe a Board and AI designs it, or lay out your own. No graphic designer needed.
Ad Space share: you keep 70% on Free, 80% on Starter, 87% on Professional and 92% on Enterprise, before card fees. Prices exclude VAT.
Why NowBoard
Made for the whole office. Run by one person.
An office has three other ways to put information on a screen. Here’s how they compare.

What’s on the wall now
Your office has news. Nobody reads the email.
Room changes, visitors, the fire drill and the kitchen rules all go out by email or on a poster. Sound familiar?
The all-staff email
Sent at 9am. Buried by 10am. Half the office never opens it.
Lost visitors
They arrive for a 10:00 meeting and nobody knows which room it’s in.
Double-booked rooms
Two teams at the same door. The booking was in someone’s calendar.
The reception TV
It shows the news, or nothing. It could welcome your visitors.
Your TVs, each with a job
One screen per room. Each one says what that room needs.
Pick a Board, type in your details, and it’s on the TV. Every Board is ready to use, and you can change any of them.
Welcome, visitors

Scheduling
Plan the week once. The TV follows the day.
Choose when each Board shows, and the reception TV changes through the day by itself. Tap a time to see it.
Changing through the day comes with Professional and Enterprise.
Update from anywhere
All-hands moved? Change it from your phone.
This week
No laptop, no email, no poster. Facilities, HR or reception change their own Boards from a phone, a tablet or a computer. Try it: change the details and press Update the TVs.
Made for your office
It looks like your company, not like ours.
- Your logo and coloursAdd them once and every Board on every TV uses them.
- Easy to read across the roomLarge type and strong contrast, read from the lift.
- One thing at a timeNow and Next shows what’s happening and what comes after. Nothing else.
- Today’s weather, built inLocal weather, updated on its own. English, Welsh, French and Spanish.
Fire and emergency alerts
When it matters, every screen at once.
One tap puts the same message on every TV in the building. One more tap puts everything back as it was.
Ready-made alerts for a fire, a fire drill, an urgent notice, building work and a missing person, plus your own messages. They come with Professional and Enterprise.
For visitors, staff and tenants
Visitors feel expected. Staff know what’s on.

Getting it on the TV
It works on the TVs you already have.
Any TV with an HDMI socket will do. Each TV needs an internet connection, over Wi-Fi or a cable.
The NowBoard app
Runs on compatible Android TVs and TV sticks, a Windows PC, or in a web browser.
Player Pro
A small box that plugs into the TV’s HDMI socket, starts itself and just plays. Optional.
We can fit it for you
Our installer comes to your office. UK only.
All prices exclude VAT. If we supply a TV, you pay what it costs us. The app runs on a spare PC, so IT only has to approve one app.
Optional · Ad Space
Managed offices: turn your screens into income.
Ad Space is off unless you turn it on. You choose which screens show adverts, and you approve every one.
Who might advertise? Businesses your tenants and members use: gyms, cafés, lunch deliveries, accountants, recruiters. Best for managed offices and workspaces. You decide what fits.
An example, not a promise of income: what you earn depends on what you sell. NowBoard takes a share of each advert (Starter 20%, Professional 13%, Enterprise 8%; 30% on Free). Card payment fees come off before you are paid. Prices exclude VAT.
