INTRODUCING MIDWICH SOLUTIONS

As the UK’s leading technology distributor and single source supplier of AV product, Midwich are always looking at new ways to add value to our trade partners, especially when supporting them with customer projects. In recent years the convergence of IT and AV has dramatically increased system complexity, driving the need for ever greater levels of technical expertise when specifying and delivering customer solutions.

Our Midwich Solutions team are here to takethe pain and complexity out of marrying technology to customer requirements. Our experienced specialists will support your project from the ground up, providing initial project definition, system design and technology recommendations, and implementation support to ensure a successful delivery. The in-depth knowledge of our product and technology specialists, tied to the market understanding of our vertical specialists, ensures our solutions integrate the latest thinking and technology within this fast moving environment.

The rate of change is increasing. As an example, in retail, no longer are digital displays enough to increase footfall. The adoption of customer engagement through social networks, along with new technology such as proximity beacons, allows retailers to identify the products customers are interested in and target their digital marketing accordingly. In the public sector, the drive for remote engagement transparency has revolutionised what’s happening in the council chamber through the live streaming of sessions and ongoing interaction with interested parties via twitter.

Meanwhile, in higher education the rise of tuition fees has turned students into customers. Poor sound and hard to read whiteboards are no longer acceptable with universities needing top quality lecture facilities with high definition video and excellent audio, all integrated with video capture for distance learning, to attract the best students.

In the corporate world the trend towards remote and collaborative working moves at a pace. Meeting rooms are being converted to group workspaces with 4K displays as standard, and many organisations migrating signals over IP to use their infrastructure more efficiently.

Whatever the future brings, you can be sure the Midwich Solutions team has the expertise to deliver not just what you want, but what you need. Our expertise is your advantage!

Proposal System Design

RETAILRetail is the fastest growing digital signage opportunity worldwide, with continuous growth predicted for the next five years. Users’ content requirements now drive the hardware technology demands, with many stores working to achieve a uniform customer experience both online and in store.

Retailers marketing departments now demand central WAN control of their digital product to ensure all advertising opportunities are maximised. The current customer journey in store makes it too easy to cross reference pricing with online retailers. If technology can discourage this or market in store benefits it will continue to see an increase on uptake, but it remains a fine line as technology in store should be dominant but not intrusive.

Interactive in retail doesn’t always mean touchscreens. Engage with your customers in store through social media integration, age and gender recognition software, or digital content which is triggered when removing a product from its shelf.

For maximum impact use video and high definition images to advertise your product or service. Manage all content centrally, updating all stores to maximise promotions through targeting specific audiences.
