Digital display tools for the cultural sector
Through the unified Pladia experience management system, cultural institutions can easily create and publish Digital Labels, Interactive Kiosks, Digital Signage, and more.
Why we're building this
Museum teams know the challenge: piecing together different solutions for mobile guides, digital labels, and interactive displays. The result? Disconnected experiences that don’t fully engage visitors, and great ideas stuck waiting for IT support or external vendors.
You can take a different approach. By bringing your digital touchpoints together, you'll create experiences that build on each other naturally. Your digital labels spark curiosity that visitors satisfy through your mobile guides. Your interactive kiosks orient people in the space, while your mobile wayfinding leads them to unexpected discoveries.
When you manage everything through a single platform—from content and design to analytics—you can create harmony across all touchpoints. Your team spends less time wrestling with systems and more time doing what they do best: creating experiences that truly engage visitors.
The outcome is a cohesive digital journey that feels intentionally designed to work together—because it is.
Location-based interpretation
Your venue has a unique layout and flow that's central to the visitor experience.
Present your most relevant content precisely where visitors need it, creating meaningful context that enhances understanding without disrupting your carefully designed environment.
Whether guiding visitors through a complex historical building or explaining objects in a dense display case, you control how and where digital touchpoints appear throughout your institution.

No two cultural spaces are the same, which is why we've built flexibility into every aspect of our platform.

Content created in Pladia seamlessly flows between fixed displays and mobile devices. Update content once in our unified platform and publish it everywhere. This creates a cohesive experience that extends beyond the physical space.
