let's talk function
What can aesend do for you?
Our unique approach to content, software, hardware and support empowers you to deliver amazing experiences to your audiences.
Unleash the power of video as you create consistency across all of your most communication channels.
aesend is a powerful content marketing resource for creating, managing, and deploying dynamic content across your digital signage networks, websites and social media platforms.
Knowing you’ve got a LOT on your plate, we set out to make this as easy and (in our opinion) enjoyable as possible. Tie us in to the processes and other tools you’re already using and leverage our support to create the best program possible – one even your CFO is a fan of!
Create With Ease
Use what you have or build from scratch!
We believe that if you have great video, you should share it, and if you don’t, you should be able to make it! aesend supports both.
It starts with encouraging you to load any type of file you choose into the platform. Then, using a combination of general-purpose or custom-created video templates that are broken into pages or “scenes”, you can place images or videos into designated spots and customize the text to create branded videos within minutes. Users capture the power of movement and dynamic content with ease.
Building playlists is as simple as combining any set of videos, static images, apps like local weather or even a website in any order, for any length of time.
The experience you create for your guests and viewers is whatever you want it to be!
Edit Like A Boss
Things you didn’t know you needed but you shouldn’t live without.
Our early customers gave us a lot of feedback on aesend and the other platforms they used – and editing issues were often at the top of the list.
So we built aesend differently. Want to use only a portion of a video you have? Trim it in aesend. Want to “zoom in” or use only a certain quadrant of an image or video? Crop it right there in aesend. Need to change the resolution of your video file to fit the specs of a large display? Yup, right there in aesend.
We built in features that experienced content creators are used to and made them simple enough for beginners. Flexibility matters. You shouldn’t have to settle because of the limits of some other digital signage tool – we make the tool work for you!
Get Off Your Digital Signage Island
Platforms made by finance bros just don’t get it.
We’ve all heard one term or another: “omni-channel”, “seamless brand experience” and so on, but digital signage platforms seem to forget they’re part of a bigger ecosystem. So, we set out to be more.
With aesend, not only can you pull in content straight from your DAM tools, but you can connect and work directly in your existing Canva or stock library accounts.
And it get’s better. The static content, individual videos and full playlist videos you create in our platform can be downloaded and used anywhere.
aesend™ generates files suitable for everything from social media and web distribution to high quality television broadcast spots and even 4K, 6K and beyond. With aesend’s advanced automatic transcoding capabilities, you can send the perfect content to your channel of choice – reaching your audience with the right message at the right time.
We know every user will have different needs. We built our levels with that in mind, but then we did one better. We have some things that are a-la-carte. If you don’t need all of the collaboration functionality but need more storage for assets or have more screens to support, we can do that. Need support to choose your hardware and pre-program players? That’s a one-time need and we can do that. Platform working great and now you need help with a new video? We’re in.
Having supported marketing, product and business leaders for decades, we know how important flexibility is in our long-term relationships and we’ve set ourselves up to make that a priority.

From Anywhere To Anywhere, At Any Time (Really!)
Monitor and control your screens remotely.
You can’t be everywhere at once, but your content can.
If your screens are in 5 different buildings, 3 different cities, on a tradeshow floor on a different continent or even just down the hall, you can still play your content and make updates from wherever you are using our cloud-based platform and discreet plug-in screen players.
Log in from home or the office, from a conference room or a hotel room to verify on-screen content, troubleshoot, make updates and deploy changes.
And with the “last playback” function, even without an internet connection you can show your most recently loaded playlist and stand out with incredible video-based audience engagement no matter where you are.
Collaborate & Control Your Creative
It’s like having your cake and eating it too.
Some users told us they want control. Some users wanted collaboration. Some wanted both. And everyone defined it differently. So we said, “We got you.”
The different levels of aesend allow you to customize your experience to the degree of control and collaboration that works best for you. All levels allow you to organize and tag your files the way you choose, have unlimited users and configure your fonts, colors and logos to align to your brand.
Keeping it simple? The “Display” level has you covered. If you need more screens and more flexibility, “Showcase” may be right for you. Need full approval routing, external agency access and/or user-level controls? The “Collaborate” level delivers.
Whatever your dynamics are, we built aesend to meet you where you are and take you where you want to go.

Be Confident in Your Hardware
Nothing kills your vibe – or your credibility – like the black screen of death.
The screens you have throughout your buildings or events are the critical link between what you create and what your audience experiences. And at scale, this is the most expensive part of your digital signage program. But misalignment between screen and system is one of the most common problems we saw and set out to address.
That’s why the aesend team can provide resources to help you make informed decisions or work with you to select the right displays. Preconfigured remote players (the thing that plugs into the back of your screen and gives you control) ensure compatibility and make setup a breeze.
And if the need to troubleshoot arises, we’re here to help with that too. Support for your entire program from start to finish.
Creative Support At The Ready
Support to help you with your content plan.
Your digital signage program and your overall marketing efforts need fresh content to stay engaging and relevant. The more screens and channels you support, the more you need. Planning for and executing on that can be…daunting.
But fear not! aesend was built by the creative gurus at Scene Factory, who provide tips and tools for content planning to aesend users because we know how important it is.
The team can also be leveraged to help you create new videos or animations, edit or recombobulate what you already have, or even just do some creative brainstorming. And because we know the tool you’re working with, getting to the point of sharing your great new content is seemless!
