Why contboxx

What the lobby screen gains

The next train, right outside the door

The stop around the corner with the next bus, tram, or subway departures by schedule, plus the nearest Deutsche Bahn station in real time, with delays. Residents heading out in the morning see at once whether they'll make it.

Weather for your building

One URL per location, so every property shows its own weather, landscape or portrait, in several designs, including animated ones. One glance by the door settles the umbrella question.

No notice that fades in the sun

News and weather refresh on their own; nobody in property management has to update anything. Your own notices, like cleaning schedules or maintenance dates, keep running in the playlist alongside.

Matching content

Content that works at a glance

FAQ

What you should know

How much does contboxx cost for a digital lobby board?

The Free plan costs nothing and needs no credit card, so you can try contboxx on one screen. It comes with a small daily request allowance and one API key. For several entrances and continuous use, paid plans offer more requests, more API keys, and more locations.

Does contboxx work with our existing digital board?

If your board or digital signage system can display web pages, yes. Pick your content in the dashboard, get a URL, and add it. contboxx doesn't sell hardware and needs no app. If you're not sure, ask your provider whether the board can embed a URL.

Will our building notices still show?

Yes. contboxx runs alongside your own content in the playlist. House rules, cleaning schedules, or maintenance notices stay in your system as before; contboxx fills the time in between.

We sell digital lobby boards ourselves. Can we use the content?

Yes. Besides the URL, there's RSS, JSON, and a REST API, so you can build the content into your own layout. On paid plans your account has several API keys, one for each board. For larger projects, reach out via our contact page.
