They have chosen solution as a means of disseminating information to their employees worldwide. Sigfox uses its digital signage system to inform and unite its employees, develop a corporate culture and spread the company's values.

Welcome to Sigfox headquarters

A company's rapid growth is often accompanied by strong recruitment needs, and therefore by a significant increase in the number of employees. This increases the importance of internal communication and presents a major challenge. It becomes crucial to disseminate relevant information quickly to all employees, while at the same time uniting new teams.

Sigfox, for example, has chosen Cenareo 's solution digital signage solution to boost its internal communications. Here's an overview of how it's being used.

Specializing in low-power transmission networks, Sigfox is the developer of the first Internet of Things (or IoT) network, enabling reliable, low-cost connections between objects. Its exceptional growth, however, has been accompanied by complex communication challenges.

So what way could there be to easily transmit messages to all branches of the company?

Digital signage is a dynamic communication tool for broadcasting messages on a network of screens. Its strength lies essentially in the ability to manage screens remotely, to manage them collaboratively, and in the speed of content updates. The benefits are instantaneous: the equipped environment is transformed, and employees are better informed. The company's image evolves and modernizes, and services are better advertised to visitors.

When digital signage is installed in a company's offices for internal communication, the flow of information is instantly boosted. On-screen communication creates a sense of belonging among employees, since the messages broadcast are addressed to all collaborators: in this way, they are united around the same objective. The company's values are asserted thanks to harmonized, unified communication that extends all the way to internal information.

Sigfox has chosen solution Cenareo to manage its fleet of screens for employees and visitors. The simplicity and flexibility of solution enable them to manage the fleet of screens from all their branches, and to involve employees by offering them a dynamic space for expression.

A fleet of screens managed collaboratively

Sigfox has offices all over the world. This calls for an efficient and easy-to-use solution for multi-site screen communication, which is exactly what Cenareo offers.

Thanks to the flexibility of solution Cenareo , and in particular its collaborative management, Sigfox can direct its screens with precision and adapt its on-screen communication to the company's existing structure. Each office has its own independence, but a certain amount of broadcast time is reserved for information that concerns everyone. In other words, the screens in the Paris office broadcast location-specific messages for local teams, but also general messages, which are broadcast on all Sigfox screens. In this way, communications teams can address all employees in a unified way, but also convey a modern, digital brand image to visitors.

Screens that are fast becoming essential

Located at reception, near the coffee machine or at the entrance to meeting rooms, screens have rapidly become indispensable information points for all employees. They broadcast the team's schedule or the availability of meeting rooms, the month's objectives and results, and team news - all in real time. Naturally, screens have become an essential element of internal communication strategy. Although the majority of screens are connected to internal services and are automatically updated, the communications team can take control at any time, during an event or to welcome important visitors. For example, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in March 2016, the on-site team was able to control the screen remotely and broadcast information, photos and videos in real time, making the stand extremely dynamic and attractive.

"Before Cenareo, our internal communication was limited to instant messaging systems or e-mail. But we needed something faster and more efficient. Installing screens with solution Cenareo in our offices has enabled a smoother flow of information and synchronization of our message. Now, the activities of the various departments are transparent, and the company's values are known by all." Thomas Goubin, Communications Manager, Sigfox

For Sigfox, this has meant better-informed employees (both on corporate actions and the actions of each branch), but it's also affirmed the company's identity and culture. Finally, a dynamic, modern reception demonstrates Sigfox's values to visitors.
