PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips Professional Displays, has announced that Appspace has been certified as an official PPDS Wave ProStore premium application, making it easier to deploy the workplace management and experience platform with Philips Android SoC displays, including the Philips Signage 3000 Series (Q-Line), Philips Signage 4000 Series (D-Line), and the Philips Interactive (T-Line).
More than 2,500 organisations worldwide, including 160 Fortune 500 companies, and 12 million on site, remote, and frontline employees, use Appspace daily. Appspace – which has offices in the US, UK, UAE, and Malaysia – is designed to connect people, places, and spaces using digital signage, space reservation, employee apps, intranets, and more.
The PPDS ProStore provides a marketplace for customers to access their preferred applications and services on their Philips Android SoC displays, while removing concerns around compatibility, making it easy to install preferred applications remotely out of the box. As part of the Wave ecosystem – the evolutionary, scalable cloud platform – Appspace can now be selected, remotely distributed, updated and managed from any location.
Sian Rees, business development director – wave and software partnerships, PPDS, said: “At PPDS we are driven by partnerships providing the innovative and indispensable solutions required for your Philips Professional Displays. As a business we have undergone a significant transformation, advancing from a provider of display hardware to a company delivering choice, value, and support to both the AV channel and end customers through an open approach to innovation. The PPDS Wave ProStore is a key pillar of that strategy and we have been delighted with the response from the market since officially going live in 2023.”
She added: “By partnering with premium providers like Appspace, and adding their applications on the ProStore, we ensure the best user experience for our customers, enabling them to customise for their specific use case and industry with trusted and proven platform partners. In addition, Wave allows them to easily and remotely install these apps, and manage and scale their fleets. We’re delighted to welcome Appspace into our Wave community.”
