Elevator Digital Displays for 40 Lifts
Bay View Residences | Dubai, UAE
A smarter way to reach every resident
Screendrive designed, supplied and installed a centrally-managed digital signage network across all 40 elevators at Bay View Residences in Dubai. Hand-posted paper notices were replaced with 22-inch portrait screens that the building management team updates instantly from a single dashboard, with the entire rollout delivered in 21 days.
Bay View Residences
Bay View Residences manages three residential towers on Dubai’s waterfront, operating 40 elevators across the community.
- Notices — fee reminders, maintenance windows, community rules — were printed and taped inside every lift, by hand.
- Updates took days, and posters were often torn, outdated or inconsistent across towers.
- Paper notices left no room for amenity promotions or ancillary revenue.
- Management wanted one modern, centrally-controlled channel to reach every resident instantly.
