Choosing the Right Digital Signage Software for Your Business
Digital signage is more than putting content on a screen. The right software can help your business update messaging faster, improve the customer experience, reduce manual work, and keep every display fresh, relevant, and on brand.
At JTECH, we offer two powerful digital signage software options: The JTECH CMS powered by NoviSign and Screenfeed. Each platform serves a different purpose, and many businesses can benefit from using them together. Whether you need a full content management system to control your screens or automated content feeds that keep displays engaging with minimal effort, JTECH can help you choose the right solution for your goals.
The JTECH CMS powered by NoviSign is a cloud-based digital signage content management platform designed for businesses that want an easy, reliable way to create, schedule, and manage screen content. It is ideal for restaurants, retail stores, healthcare facilities, schools, corporate offices, waiting rooms, hospitality spaces, and multi-location businesses. With The JTECH CMS, users can build screen layouts, manage playlists, schedule content by time or location, and remotely update displays from virtually anywhere.

Screenfeed specializes in automated content feeds for digital signage. Instead of manually creating and updating every piece of content, Screenfeed helps keep screens fresh with professionally designed, automatically updated feeds. Screenfeed is a strong fit for businesses that want engaging displays with minimal staff involvement. It can provide content such as news, weather, sports, traffic, trivia, lifestyle content, social media feeds, and localized information.
Always-fresh content
Automated updates help ensure screens stay active and engaging without constant manual updates.
Professional visual templates
Screenfeed content is designed for digital signage and ready for use on customer-facing displays.
Audience engagement
Content such as trivia, sports scores, social media walls, and live news can help capture attention and reduce perceived wait times.
Reduced labor for staff
Because content is automatically updated, teams spend less time creating and replacing screen content.
Localized content options
Weather, traffic, and regional updates can be tailored to the location of each display.
Works with many CMS platforms
Screenfeed is designed to integrate with major digital signage content management systems.
While both options support digital signage, they are not the same type of solution.

The JTECH CMS is the best choice when you need to manage the full digital signage experience from one platform.

Yes. In many cases, the best solution is using The JTECH CMS and Screenfeed together.
The JTECH CMS can manage the screens, layouts, schedules, and playlists, while Screenfeed supplies fresh, automated live content. This combination gives businesses both control and convenience.
Screenfeed content can often be delivered into compatible digital signage platforms using Media RSS feeds, allowing dynamic content such as news, weather, sports, trivia, traffic, and social updates to appear within scheduled screen layouts. This makes it easier to combine branded JTECH CMS content with automatically refreshed Screenfeed content in the same digital signage experience.
For example, a restaurant could use The JTECH CMS to display branded promotions, menu updates, and daily specials, while Screenfeed adds live weather, sports, or social content to keep guests engaged. A healthcare facility could use The JTECH CMS for patient messaging and wayfinding, while Screenfeed adds news or lifestyle content in the waiting room.
Together, The JTECH CMS and Screenfeed help businesses manage their digital signage network while keeping screens fresh, relevant, and engaging with less day-to-day content maintenance.
Typical requirements may include:
JTECH can help determine the best setup based on your screen type, content goals, number of locations, and level of control needed.
Digital signage works best when the software matches the way your business operates. For businesses that want complete control, flexible scheduling, branded layouts, and remote screen management, The JTECH CMS powered by NoviSign is a strong choice.
For businesses that want fresh, engaging, automated content with less staff involvement, Screenfeed is a valuable addition.
For many organizations, using both together creates the strongest digital signage experience: one platform to manage the screens and one solution to keep content fresh.
