Is ScreenCloud overkill for a single exchange shop?

Often, yes — not because the product is bad, but because most of what you pay for is fleet management and governance, and a single shop has neither a fleet nor a governance problem. If the screen only ever shows rates, the platform around it is not earning its keep.

Yes, and for larger operators that is a sensible combination: run ScreenCloud for signage generally and point one of its web-page zones at your rate board. You keep our buy/sell layout and their scheduling.

Do you offer team accounts or per-branch permissions?

Not today. One account holds one set of rates, and anyone with the login can change them. Multi-branch accounts with per-branch overrides and roles are on our roadmap but are not shipped, so if you need them now, a platform with a real permissions model is the honest answer.

ENTERPRISE DIGITAL SIGNAGE

Exchange Rate Management vs ScreenCloud

ScreenCloud sells digital signage to organisations with a lot of screens and people who manage them. We sell one thing to exchange offices. The right answer depends far more on the size of your operation than on any feature list.

WHAT SCREENCLOUD IS

First, a fair description

ScreenCloud is a digital signage platform aimed at the enterprise end of the market — retail chains, manufacturing floors, corporate offices, hospitality.

The emphasis is on governance at scale: user permissions, teams, screen groups, integrations with the tools a large organisation already runs, and support agreements.

As with any signage platform, showing a web page on a screen is a supported building block.

WHICH ONE FITS

Pick the Right Tool, Not the Loudest One

Choose ScreenCloudif…

You run screens across many sites and need real access control — who can change what, on which screens, with an audit trail.
You need signage to carry more than rates: internal comms, staff dashboards, promotions, queue information.
You want enterprise support, onboarding and an account manager rather than self-serve software.
Your screens are already standardised on player hardware and you want one platform across all of them.

Choose us if…

You are one shop, or a handful, and every hour spent administering a signage platform is an hour not spent serving customers.
The thing on the screen is your rates, and getting the buy/sell layout right matters more than anything else the screen could do.
You want the website and the TV to show identical numbers with no second system to keep in sync.
You want to be running today without a sales call.

SIDE BY SIDE

ScreenCloud vs a Dedicated Rate Board

	ScreenCloud	Exchange Rate Management
Target buyer	Organisations with screen estates and someone whose job includes them	Exchange offices, from one counter upward
Buy and sell columns	Not a native concept	The whole point
Website widget	No	Yes, the same rates via one script tag
Teams and permissions	Yes, extensive	No — one account, one set of rates
Purchase path	Often sales-assisted	Self-serve, free tier, cancel anytime
Time to first screen	A project	Minutes

Rates on our side are set by hand — there is no automatic market feed — and every board and widget re-fetches every 5 minutes. We would rather you know that before signing up than after.

THE VERDICT

If We're Being Honest

If your business is big enough that someone owns the screens, buy a signage platform — we genuinely do not replace one, and we do not have the permissions model you would need. If your business is a currency exchange where the screen exists to show rates, a signage platform is a large amount of machinery around a single page, and you will spend more time configuring it than the job is worth.

If a rate board is what you actually need, see how it works on any TV screen and as an exchange rate widget for your website. For the wider category question, read digital signage vs. a dedicated rate board.
