Inform - Customer Information Software

Inform Media Solution Overview

Inform Media is a feature-rich, easy-to-use media and digital signage platform developed and supported by LB Foster.

 Our Inform Messaging solution allows operational users to send out operational updates in pre-defined formats and templates that conform to corporate branding guidelines and communication standards. The solution is fully auditable and reportable, with granular security access allowing system administrators to assign users permission to update only the screens they are responsible for.

The benefits of Inform Solutions are:

• The online, cloud-hosted solution provides resilience of operation to minimise/remove any downtime

• Multiple Data is shown to customers on one screen/device to improve the customer experience

• Up to date advice to customers delivered from Control, or one central location

• One Version of the Truth – Train Running and Disruption information supplied by one system for consistency on station

• Flexible approach to content delivery - Managed Content can be shown on all or just one device and managed centrally to minimise operator input

• Options to provide station staff with the ability to update the content at station level

• Video content can be delivered directly to an individual screen or to the full estate

• Social Media – provide a consistent message between Twitter/Facebook and on station

• Easily expandable to control other display hardware on station

• Fully managed back-office solution with evolving software – Customers will benefit from upgrade packages, which will be released on a regular basis to provide the latest functionality to users
