Corporate TV at REN for Internal Communication
One of the largest energy companies in Portugal, REN, trusted our Corporate TV solution to improve communication with its almost 800 employees, spread across multiple geographic locations. The challenge? Replacing an outdated, non-scalable solution that relied heavily on manual processes.
Initial Challenges
Before implementing our digital signage solution, the company faced several obstacles:
- Lack of integration with internal systems, requiring inefficient and manual content updates
- Only few in use, running on an old and limited solution
- Internal communication wasn’t keeping up with the company’s growth and decentralisation
Project Goal
The main objective was to modernise internal communication and ensure that information reached all employees efficiently and consistently. To achieve this, a network of over 40 professional Samsung screens was deployed across the following locations:
- Head office in Lisbon – two screens per floor
- Bucelas, Maia, Porto (Portgás), Sines and Santarém – at least one screen per floor
Content management is now centralised by the communication department, with an exclusive focus on the internal audience: employees.
Implemented Solution
Our proposal combined professional hardware with our flexible and customised software to meet the client's real needs.
Available Apps
- Internal news with QR code integration with the intranet
- LinkedIn and Instagram feeds
- Stock market updates, traffic reports, and weather alerts
- Business KPIs
- Front pages of leading newspapers
Automated Content
- Integration with the internal portal for menus and events
- Operational indicators via secure connections to internal data sources, such as REN's DataHub
Despite the technical complexity of the project, the platform was configured to provide a smooth and user-friendly experience for the content managers.
No additional custom functionalities were included in this project, as the main focus was on automated content and full integration with existing systems.
