The Town of East Gwillimbury's Request for a digital schedule
The digital signage scheduling & events system was developed in response to the needs of East Gwillimbury facility managers to publish ice pad reservations. This includes dressing room assignments, news and town/facility events integrated on high definition digital displays.
As a result, the facility manager and its operators have a communication tool and platform that is reliable and easy to use.
Providing town information, scheduling and news
CHALLENGE
Replacing the old fashion whiteboard schedule with a digital one (2010)
In 2010, the Town of East Gwillimbury was using a whiteboard to display their bookings, ice pad schedule, and room assignment. A whiteboard only has so much space, handwriting can sometimes be an issue for readability. Most importantly there wasn’t much space for rink news, updates and events. They wanted a digital system that can handle their request. In addition, they were looking to duplicate the same information in their community centres – less the schedule as that would only be applicable for the rinks. Most importantly they wanted to manage it all in one place at any time.
SOLUTION
A Digital Screen that not only works great but looks awesome
East Gwillimbury has two rinks in the same facility and wanted to display changeroom and booking for each rink. We were able to solve this by grouping the bookings and colour coding them for each rink. This made it easy to view your schedule at a glance. The digital signage solution could all be managed in the same place which made it easy for each staff member to update the sections they were assigned to.
CONCLUSION
