Hospitals · Clinics · Pharmacies · Dental

Calmer waiting rooms start on the screen.

Queue displays, wayfinding, health information and instant emergency broadcast — on one platform, across every department and every site, without a patient name ever appearing on a screen.

Queue & patient flow

Everyone waiting knows where they stand.

Token numbers, the counter or room to go to, and an honest wait estimate. Nobody has to hover at reception asking if they've been forgotten.

Token, not name

Patients are called by number or initials — nothing on screen identifies anyone.

Routed by department

Pharmacy, lab, imaging and consultation each run their own queue on the same platform.

Text when it's their turn

People can wait in the car or the café instead of filling your waiting room.

Half the screen for information

Health guidance, clinic notices and opening hours run beside the numbers.

Six jobs one screen can do.

Improve the patient experience

Wait times, appointment queues, wayfinding, wellness content and clinician availability — informed people wait more calmly.

Simplify wayfinding

Interactive and static maps for large campuses and multi-floor buildings, so nobody arrives late because they got lost.

Manage patient flow

Queue displays cut congestion at reception and send people to the right room or counter with minimal friction.

Broadcast emergencies

Take over every screen in the building instantly with evacuation or safety instructions, then hand them back.

Reach staff, not just patients

Back-of-house screens carry shift updates, policy changes and coordination notices to the people who need them.

Promote health awareness

Seasonal campaigns, vaccination drives and wellness guidance, scheduled ahead across every site.

Privacy by design

Built for rooms where names shouldn't be on screen.

A waiting room display is a public broadcast. Ours is designed to say only what a stranger in the room is allowed to hear.

Tokens or initials instead of full names Department and counter shown, not the reason for the visit Role-based access — who can publish, who can only view Content managed centrally, with an audit trail of what changed Screens run offline, so a network outage doesn't blank the room

Tell us your privacy requirements on the demo call and we'll walk through exactly what each screen displays.

Wayfinding

Nobody should be late because the building is confusing.

Large campuses and multi-floor clinics are hard to navigate when you're anxious. Clear directional screens, floor plans and touch directories reduce the "where do I go?" questions your reception team answers all day.

Directional screens at lifts, junctions and entrances Interactive floor plans and department directories Touchscreen kiosks for self-service lookup Content per floor, per wing, per entrance from one dashboard

Emergency messaging

One action, every screen, immediately.

When something goes wrong, the screens you use for wait times become the fastest way to reach everyone in the building at once.

Instant takeover of every display, or just one wing Pre-built templates for evacuation, lockdown, weather and outages Staff-area screens carry the operational detail patients don't need Return to normal content in one action once it's over

Clinics & events

Fill the clinics people don't know you run.

Specialist availability, visiting consultant days, screening drives and education sessions — announced where patients are already sitting and looking at a screen.

Clinician profiles, specialities and availability Screening campaigns and vaccination drives Education sessions and community events Scheduled weeks ahead, per site or per department

Ready-made content library

You don't have to make the content yourself.

The reason most clinic screens end up showing the same slide for eight months is that nobody has time to produce anything new. Retailr ships with a healthcare library you can drop straight into a playlist — pick a category, schedule it, done.

Category 01

Patient education

Short explainers that answer the questions people ask at the desk, playing while they wait.

Category 02

Health & wellness

Seasonal awareness, prevention and lifestyle content, refreshed so the screen never looks stale.

Category 03

Clinic & practice information

Services, procedures and what to expect — the content that reduces repeat questions at reception.

Pick by category — build a playlist from the library the way you'd build one from your own files Schedule it — different content for morning clinic, afternoon and closed hours Mix with your own — library videos sit alongside your notices, queue numbers and clinic hours on the same screen Per site or per department — the paediatric waiting room doesn't need the same loop as the pharmacy Updated for you — new content added to the library, so the screen changes without anyone filming anything

Where the screens go

Every kind of practice, not just big hospitals.

Hospital digital signage

Hospitals

Live navigation, security protocols and emergency announcements across a whole campus.

Waiting room signage

Waiting rooms

Wait times, health information and clinic notices that make the wait feel shorter.

Medical centre signage

Medical centres

Physician schedules, clinic hours and check-in instructions on the wall instead of at the desk.

Veterinary clinic signage

Veterinary clinics

Pet care guidance, vaccination reminders and practice updates for waiting owners.

Pharmacy signage

Pharmacies

Prescription queue numbers, health products and seasonal guidance at the counter.

Dental practice signage

Dental practices

Oral health guidance, treatment explainers and reminders that improve follow-through.

Signage platform

Everything the screens themselves can do.

The same platform that runs restaurants and retail — with the features a facilities team actually asks about.

Any file type

Images, video, PDFs and presentations from the file systems you already use.

Built-in apps & feeds

Weather, clocks, news and live feeds alongside your own content.

Dynamic playlists

Mix visuals, video and widgets; content rotates automatically.

Flexible scheduling

By time of day, day of week or specific dates — clinic hours included.

Landscape or portrait

Both orientations, so screens fit the corridor rather than the other way round.

Custom screen zones

Split a display — queue numbers, health content and a live clock at once.

Offline playback

Screens don't go blank in an outage. Content stays downloaded and keeps playing.

Automatic reboots

Scheduled restarts keep displays healthy without anyone unplugging anything.

Built-in editor

Design and manage content in the dashboard — no extra tools to license.

Roles & approvals

Different access per site and per department, with approval steps.

Content analytics

Track what played and when, with exportable reports.

Interactive kiosks

Touch directories, check-in and self-service lookup on the same platform.

The things people ask us first.

Do patient names ever appear on screen?

Not by default. Displays call tokens or initials, with the counter or room to attend. What each screen shows is configurable, and we'll walk through it with you before go-live.

Can it integrate with our existing systems?

Retailr connects to queue management and other facility systems so displays stay accurate without manual updates. We'll confirm your specific systems on the demo call.

Can we update content remotely?

Yes. One dashboard covers every screen, department and site, with scheduling ahead of time.

What happens during a network outage?

Screens keep playing the content already downloaded, then sync when the connection returns.

How fast can we push an emergency message?

Immediately, to every screen or a selected zone, using a pre-built template. One action returns everything to normal afterwards.

Do we need new displays?

Usually not. A small player plugs into the HDMI port on screens you already have.
