Efficient communication reaches everywhere

Making information visible with just one click

Using digital signage as part of internal communications improves the employee experience by reaching employees who don’t work at a computer every day. At Avant, the main target group is the production staff.

— In a factory environment, you often hear criticism that information doesn’t flow or reach employees. With iDiD, we bring information to people’s attention with just one click, without the hassle of traditional notice boards. Sharing information with iDiD is extremely easy, Production Manager Saku Vastamäki explains.

The factory information displays share data, such as production volumes, set targets, and achieved rewards. They also provide reminders about safe practices and work instructions, share audit results and highlight topics related to occupational health and well-being.

At Avant Tecno, digital signage in production areas reaches employees exactly where the work is done.

The displays also serve as a channel for IT department updates and other communication related to daily work. When information is easily visible where the work is done, it truly reaches its audience.

— Using iDiD makes our work easier, as we can now share the essential information on the displays it concerns. Information reaches our large factory area quickly, easily and reliably, Saku adds.

A modern and scalable solution

Before iDiD, Avant used a similar system, which, however, did not meet their expectations.

— We wanted a modern, cloud-based solution that allows us to focus on what matters. iDiD continuously develops and supports the system, and we can rely on its performance, CIO Jari Heininen says.

iDiD’s key strengths are definitely the ease of use of its interface, user support, and personalized service 

The collaboration has been flexible and adaptable to growth. After implementing iDiD, Avant Tecno built a nationwide Avant Center store network. Acquiring additional screens and expanding the use of the service went smoothly.

— The experience has been positive in many ways, and the collaboration is set to continue, Jari concludes.

The main user Kaisa Kunnari especially appreciates the ease of use, the support and the personalized service.

— The iDiD interface is highly intuitive. Bringing new users on board is easy, even if they don’t have a technical background. The iDiD service is modern and scales perfectly to our extensive technology environment.

In addition to production and offices, digital signage can also be used in customer-facing spaces. Pictured: Avant Tecno’s Ylöjärvi store. 

Communication from production to trade fairs

Although the focus of using iDiD is to reach production employees, the information displays also support communication in offices and stores. When needed, they are additionally used at events and trade fairs.

— What makes iDiD great is that, despite its ease of use, we can create highly impactful content tailored to different target audiences, Jenni Hantula from Avant’s marketing team says.

Avant’s compact loaders are renowned for their ease of use, versatility and reliability. The same strengths apply to the iDiD service.

— I recommend iDiD to anyone who wants to improve their communication with an easy-to-use and effective solution!
