Compass Digital Signage Software
Release Notes 2025-03
While the platform has previously focused on benchmarking for software vendors, this update introduces a major enhancement tailored to end customers and integrators searching for digital signage software.
The new Search user interface provides a dedicated experience for software sourcing, enabling users to create a refined shortlist of top solutions for their projects.
With this release, we are launching a preview of the Search Module, setting the stage for the full rollout at the Digital Signage Summit in May. The preview allows users to explore upcoming features, helping them navigate and evaluate software solutions more effectively.
