SignStix, Toshiba partnership provides retailers with scalable digital engagement solution

May 18, 2016

SignStix has formed a partnership with Toshiba to provide an end-to-end digital engagement solution to the retail and hospitality sectors, according to a press release from SignStix. SignStix is a Toshiba Innovation Partner for Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions, helping retailers to build digital engagement solutions that are fully scalable and built to drive customer engagement and enhance in-store customer experiences.

The partnership eliminates many of the perceived barriers to the adoption of digital engagement, as it looks to simplify the delivery of a retailer's in-store strategy through a fully supported implementation process, the release said. SignStix' s digital engagement platform, which comprises a signage creation tool and management dashboard, can now be delivered under the Toshiba and SignStix offering, in addition to Toshiba's new range of professional display screens, global support, training maintenance and services. SignStix and Toshiba are currently working on joint solutions for a number of in-store projects.

"The partnership between SignStix and Toshiba brings an unrivalled offering to the retail marketplace," said Nick Fearnley, founder and CEO of SignStix. "Toshiba's capability to deliver our platform alongside their leading-edge hardware and service solutions means that digital engagement can quickly become a real world revenue earning component in any retailers kit-bag. Our combined approach brings retailers solutions, not more problems - which is something typical of other legacy digital platforms."

SignStix has also been awarded a 'Solution Provider Excellence Award' at Toshiba's annual Together Commerce Alliance Awards in April in Riga, Latvia. The awards celebrate the work and expertise of Toshiba Business Partners.

"Our annual awards are presented to recognise our most successful and innovative partners like SignStix, who have distinguished themselves as achievers at the very highest level during the last business year," said Darren Holland, U.K. sales director at Toshiba.
