Let’s talk

Bolt software

Everything in place.
Room to do more.

The DOOH ad server and CMS for campaigns, creative, screens and revenue. One connected workspace that brings your whole network into focus.

The Bolt overview: network potential, this month's revenue and yield, and a chart of monthly revenue climbing towards target.

The Bolt workspace, shown with a sample network.

Ad serving

One feed for every screen on the network. Every screen’s schedule is built ahead of time, so each one already knows what plays next, with programmatic demand sharing the loop with your direct sales.

  • One feed for the whole network
  • Schedules built ahead of time
  • Works with the standard DOOH ad formats
  • Proof-of-play logged on every screen

Campaign scheduling

Set when a campaign runs, down to the time of day, and BOLT handles the rest across every screen. Give each campaign its share of the screen time, and even out delivery across your screens. Keep clashing ad categories apart.

  • Schedule by day and time of day
  • Share of screen time per campaign
  • Keep clashing ad categories apart
  • Hold and release campaigns in a click

Creative & playlists

Upload a creative, preview it, schedule it. The whole thing is simple enough to hand to a junior scheduler without a training course. If a screen ever loses connection it falls back to safe content, so nothing goes blank.

  • Standard video and image formats
  • Preview before anything goes live
  • Fallback content if a screen drops offline
  • Layer schedules and playlists

Live reporting

Plays show up in the console seconds after the screen renders them, not in a report the next morning. Every play is logged and timestamped, so you can prove delivery to a buyer and export the numbers straight into your own tools.

  • Plays appear within seconds
  • Proof-of-play for every campaign
  • Export to CSV
  • Operator API for your own dashboards

Billing & rev-share

Bill by play or by impression, whichever your contract says. Venue revenue-share is worked out from the actual plays, not reconciled in a spreadsheet on the last Friday of the month. It syncs to Xero, so your finance team isn't re-keying invoices.

  • Bill per play or per impression
  • Automatic venue revenue-share statements
  • Two-way Xero sync
  • E-sign orders and agreements with DocuSign

Emergency messages

Martyn’s Law asks venues to be ready to tell people what to do. Write your evacuate, invacuate and lockdown messages in advance and they wait on the screens. When it’s real, send one to a venue or the whole network: the advert stops and the message fills the screen until you clear it.

Emergency messages for Martyn’s Law
  • Messages written in advance, portrait and landscape
  • Stored on the screens before they’re needed
  • Interrupts the advert and wakes screens in standby
  • Each screen confirms it’s showing; every send is logged

Remote screen control

Every screen holds a secure connection back to BOLT. Push a new on/off schedule, reboot a panel, or refresh a creative, and it lands on the screen in seconds, wherever it is in the country. No site visit, no fiddly logins per screen.

  • Always-on, encrypted connection to every screen
  • A unique security key per screen
  • Reboot or refresh a screen remotely
  • Push on/off power schedules

DSP connections

Already work with DAX, Hivestack, VIOOH, Vistar or Place Exchange? Once you have an account with the demand partner, we switch on the connection and your inventory starts taking their demand, reported alongside your direct sales. You hold the DSP relationship; BOLT does the plumbing.

  • DAX, Hivestack, VIOOH, Vistar, Place Exchange
  • You bring the DSP account, we activate it
  • Programmatic demand alongside your direct sales
  • Custom connections on request

AI & automation

Describe the campaign in plain English; BOLT builds it. It connects to AI assistants like Claude, so you or your buyers can create orders, campaigns and creatives in a conversation. Drafts you review before anything goes live: the platform does the work, you stay in control of what plays.

  • Create campaigns and orders from a plain-English brief
  • Works with AI assistants like Claude (MCP)
  • Drafts you review before anything is published
  • Per-user access, controlled by you

boltOS

In development

Most digital signage runs on someone else's operating system. We're building our own. boltOS is a sealed, EU-ready operating system for BOLT screens, designed and built by the same team as the software, so the whole stack, from the screen up to the campaign, is ours to secure, update and stand behind.

  • Only ever runs software we've signed
  • Bad updates roll back on their own. No dead screens, no engineer visits
  • Each screen reports its own health and software version
  • Designed for the EU Cyber Resilience Act from day one
  • One secure connection manages the whole fleet, cellular included
  • Content plays sandboxed, walled off from the operating system
