Digital Signage Goes Mobile
Introduction
Based in Florida, Hub Tap is a mobile bartending service for events such as weddings and parties. Hub Tap runs XOGO on tablet devices, in order to display a customized drink menu for each event. Nick Frasse, co-founder of Hub Tap, explains: “Hub Tap is a mobile bartending company that operates out of retrofitted horse-trailers-turned-bars. We’ve been in business since 2017 and always struggled to find a simple yet elegant solution for our clients’ custom menus. We tried everything from chalkboards and magnetic letters to sandwich boards and posters but we were never happy with the outcome until we found XOGO.”
Challenge
Working out of converted trailers that travel from one event to the next, mobility was a crucial factor for Hub Tap. They needed easy, updatable drink menus that could be quickly customized for each event. The solution would need to be portable, elegant and cost-effective. It would also need to be scalable, as Hub Tap is a growing business that is expanding Into additional markets.
The Solution
To accomplish their goals, Hub Tap decided to deploy XOGO on 10-inch Amazon Fire Tablets to display their menu content. Frasse stated, “We simply use Photoshop to create custom-branded menus for all of our clients’ special days.” After creating their menus in Photoshop, Hub Tap uploads the content into the XOGO Manager app on a mobile device, and then all of their media-player tablets are automatically updated over WiFi. This makes it easy for a small business like Hub Tap to be nimble and quickly adjust their content, without having to print anything or hire a professional designer. Since XOGO offers flexible monthly or annual billing, Hub Tap can opt to pause the service during the slow season. And if they have questions, Hub Tap knows that they can always take advantage of XOGO’s free technical support services. Frasse says, “We love the product and how simple and effective it is. I would highly recommended XOGO to any business looking for an extremely elegant and simple product that will meet their needs for a custom menu.”
Summary
XOGO is an easy, flexible digital signage platform that can be deployed across many types of devices, according to one’s needs. We love seeing innovative customers like Hub Tap running digital signage on tablets and creating elegant, branded experiences for their clients.
