Digital Signage Companies Australia
A guide to choosing digital signage companies in Australia, including provider types, end-to-end capability, national rollout, CMS ownership, support and enterprise risk management.
Digital signage companies in Australia
The Australian digital signage market includes hardware suppliers, software platforms, system integrators, installation contractors and full-service providers that manage the entire project from specification through to ongoing support. Understanding the difference between these company types matters before you start getting quotes.
Most Australian businesses need a provider that can specify the hardware, install it correctly and manage the software. Some also need ongoing support and content services. Very few need a company that only supplies the screens or only provides the software.
Types of digital signage companies in Australia
Full-service providers manage the complete project: hardware specification, procurement, installation, CMS setup, content support and ongoing managed services. onQ Digital Group is a full-service digital signage provider with delivery capability across all Australian states.
Hardware-only distributors supply screens, media players and mounts without installation or software services. Useful when the buyer has in-house installation and CMS capability, but not suitable as a sole supplier for most commercial projects.
Software-only CMS providers supply the content management platform without hardware or installation. These work when the buyer has an existing screen estate or a separate installation partner, but they require the client to coordinate multiple suppliers.
System integrators manage the technical integration of screens, players, networks and software, often as part of a broader AV or IT project. They may or may not include hardware procurement and ongoing support.
Installation-only contractors supply trades for screen mounting, cabling and commissioning without hardware supply or software services. Used by full-service providers as a delivery resource in specific locations.
What to look for in a digital signage company
| Evaluation factor | What it means | Questions to ask |
|---|---|---|
| National delivery capability | Can the company install and support screens in all the locations you need? | Which states do you have installation resources in? Do you use subcontractors? |
| CMS ownership | Does the company build and support its own CMS, or resell a third-party platform? | Who owns the CMS? Where is the development and support team based? |
| Retail media capability | If advertising revenue is a goal, does the company's CMS support campaign controls and proof-of-play? | Can you show a live example of retail media campaign management? |
| Reference clients | Has the company delivered comparable projects at a similar scale and industry? | Can you provide references from clients with similar requirements? |
| Support model | What happens when a screen goes offline? How fast is the response? | What are your SLAs? Is monitoring included? Who handles on-site faults? |
onQ Digital Group
onQ Digital Group is a full-service digital signage company based in Melbourne, with national delivery across Australia. The company designs, supplies, installs and supports commercial screen networks for retail, corporate, automotive, hospitality and public environments.
onQ is also the developer of onQ CMS, a cloud-based digital signage software platform built for Australian multi-site networks. The platform is used by Bunnings Hammer Media, David Jones, Country Road Group, 7-Eleven and other major Australian organisations.
What makes onQ different from most digital signage companies is that the hardware delivery, software and support capabilities are all in-house. When something goes wrong, one team is accountable. When a new project starts, the same team that built the CMS understands the installation requirements, and the same team that does the installation understands the CMS.
