Problem
Pharmacies must keep their on‑call (Notdienst) information up to date for customers, but traditional paper notices require manual collection, printing, and regular replacement. Subscription‑based digital signage solutions add recurring costs and often need technical expertise to maintain, leading to outdated displays and wasted staff time.
Solution
The Notdienstdisplay provides a dedicated digital screen that automatically retrieves the latest pharmacy on‑call schedules directly from the regional pharmacy chamber. The device is sold as a one‑time purchase with no recurring fees, and it connects to the pharmacy’s Wi‑Fi via an integrated access point for secure data transmission. After a brief two‑minute setup—plug in, connect to Wi‑Fi, select the pharmacy—the display continuously updates 24/7 without any manual intervention. The system presents the information in a clear, customizable layout that can be positioned in windows, entrances, or on walls, ensuring customers always see accurate on‑call details. All data handling complies with German data protection standards, and the hardware includes built‑in mounting options for flexible installation.
Target Audience
The primary customers are independent and chain pharmacies in Germany that need a reliable, cost‑effective way to display up‑to‑date on‑call information to their customers.
