Why to choose E Display Digital Building Directory

Lobbies change constantly — tenants move in and out, suites get renumbered, meetings need directions, and visitors expect answers before they reach the front desk. E Display digital directory software gives property managers one cloud platform to keep every building directory accurate, from a single lobby screen to an entire portfolio of buildings.

Every digital building directory screen is powered by our compact TX9 TV Stick media player and managed from a browser dashboard your on-site staff can learn in an afternoon. Update tenant listings, suite numbers, and floor plans in seconds, add touchscreen wayfinding for visitors, and push emergency alerts to every lobby at once — no letter kits, no reprinting, no vendor visit.

Whether you are replacing one printed lobby board or standardising directories across a campus or portfolio, E Display scales with you — maintain complete control with role-based publishing, approval workflows, and on-demand offline caching so listings keep showing even if the network drops.

Digital directory software is $8 per screen per month billed annually, with a free TX9 media player included on annual plans — see full pricing or start from one of our free building directory templates built for office towers, medical buildings, malls, and campuses.

Digital building directory FAQs

What is a digital building directory?

A digital building directory is a screen in your lobby that replaces the old printed or pin-letter tenant board. It lists tenants, suite numbers, and floors, and can add floor plans, touchscreen wayfinding, welcome messages, and emergency alerts. With E Display's cloud digital directory software you update the listings from any browser and the screen refreshes in seconds — no letter kits, no reprinting, no vendor visit.

How much does a digital building directory cost?

E Display digital directory software is $8 per screen per month billed annually ($96 per screen per year), and annual plans include a free TX9 media player stick. Beyond software you need a display (roughly $600–$900 for a 43" commercial panel, more for large-format or portrait lobby screens) and optional installation of about $250–$350 per screen. Directory templates are free, or our design team can build a branded layout for a one-time $200 fee.

How do I set up a digital building directory?

Plug the TX9 media player into the HDMI port of any TV or commercial display, connect it to Wi-Fi, and register it to your E Display CMS account with a 6-digit code. Then pick a building directory template, enter your tenants, suites, and floors, and publish. Portrait or landscape orientation is a single setting, so the same directory works on a wall-mounted lobby screen or a tall pedestal display.

Can visitors use a touchscreen directory to find tenants?

Yes. Add a touchscreen and visitors can search a tenant by name, browse by floor, and view an interactive floor plan or map with a highlighted route. Multi-language support and ADA-friendly touch targets keep the interactive directory accessible to every visitor.

How do I update tenant listings when someone moves in or out?

Open the directory in your browser, edit the tenant row, and save — the lobby screen updates within seconds. Property managers can also import tenant lists from a spreadsheet or data feed, and role-based permissions let on-site staff edit listings without touching the rest of your signage.

Can one directory system cover multiple buildings or a whole campus?

Yes. Group screens by building, campus, or portfolio and manage every lobby directory from one cloud dashboard. Push a portfolio-wide notice or an emergency message to all screens in one click, while each building keeps its own tenant list and branding.

Does the directory keep working if the internet goes down?

Yes. The TX9 player caches your directory locally, so listings and wayfinding keep playing through a network outage and sync automatically when the connection returns.
