Case study

Eight Stores, One Sound and One Screen Network

An Ontario home décor retailer wanted every location to look and sound like the same brand. Helios installed Stingray background music, in-store messaging, and digital signage across eight stores, all managed from one place.

0

24/7

Remote monitoring of players and screens

Each store played its own music from staff phones and consumer streaming apps, which weren't licensed for business use. Promotions were printed and taped up by hand, so stores were often showing last month's offers.

  • Unlicensed, inconsistent music from store to store
  • Printed promotions that went out of date
  • No central way to update content across locations

Helios paired Stingray's licensed music programs and audio messaging with digital screens at each store entrance and checkout. We installed zoned speakers, mounted displays, and connected every media player to a secure store network.

Head office now schedules music, announcements, and promotions for all eight stores from one dashboard, and Helios monitors every device remotely.

The solution

    Site surveys

    Walked each store to plan speaker zones, screen placement, and network drops.

    Set up music programs and signage templates with Stingray, and staged media players on the store networks.

  3. Weeks 3 to 5

    Installation

    Installed speakers, screens, and players after hours, two stores at a time.

  4. Week 6

    Training & handoff

    Trained store managers on scheduling content, then moved every site to Helios managed support.
