Changing a message should be simple. But when it involves emails, USB sticks and asking someone at each branch to help, a small update can become a surprisingly big job.

Introducing our new Imagine Digital Signage software, launching on 2 November 2026. After more than 10 years and over 3,000 screens, we are giving South African businesses of every size and industry the freedom to run their own screens, from a single display to a national network.

Over the last 18 years we have been emmersed in all aspects of digital signage; from physical screen and media players installations, content creation and management, software development and the daily grind of keeping screen networks alive. What that taught us is simple: a great screen is only half the story. The other half is being able to keep it current and trust it to work. That is why we have built Imagine alongside the people and teams who use it every day: clients, technical teams, account managers, content creators, integrators, and operations teams. Their feedback and frustrations shaped this new release.

Made for Everyone

We didn’t build this for the for the tech savvy – we built it for everyone. Whether you run a shop, a national network, a restaurant, an office, or an exhibition, managing your screens is simple. Change a menu price, schedule breakfast to lunch, push out an important notice with a scrolling ticker, display news or weather, or share today’s event schedule. With Imagine it's easy and can be done from your computer, mobile phone, or tablet without wrestling with complicated systems.

Reliable, Like it Should Be

The internet drops. The power trips. Imagine keeps playing and even starts playing again after a power failure. Detailed reporting shows which screens are online, their daily or monthly performance, what content has played, and which ones need attention, so you know about problems before your customers do.

The Feature We Can’t Stop Talking About: Canva, Built In

If you or your team already design in Canva, you'll love our integration. Store owners, managers, and designers can create and edit designs without leaving the Imagine CMS, and every change syncs automatically to your screens’ playlists. Fixing a price or adding a promotion no longer means downloading, re-uploading, and crossing your fingers.

Simple Pricing, Flexible Support

Your first screen is free, with limited features. The full package is R150 per screen per month and includes unlimited users, unlimited media storage, and every feature. Annual paid subscriptions get a 20% discount. We also offer white-label, reseller, and corporate options, including self-hosting.

Prefer to leave the day-to-day to someone else? Our integrator partners can manage Imagine for you, from screen setup to technical support. Do it yourself or have it done for you: the choice is yours.

Built on a Foundation You Can Trust

We are not reinventing what works. Imagine has a decade-long track record, and this release builds on that foundation. It is backed by South African business and supported by real people who are always there to pick up the phone.
