If you work in an office, company news lands in your inbox or Slack. You scroll through it with your morning coffee, skim what matters, ignore what doesn’t. But if you work in a warehouse, on a hospital floor, or in a manufacturing plant, staying informed takes more effort. By the time an announcement filters down through supervisors or gets posted on a bulletin board, it’s already old. And that gap — between who gets information first and who gets it last — makes people feel like outsiders in their own company.

Simpplr and ScreenCloud integration: closing the frontline employee communication gap
The problem isn’t that frontline workers don’t care about company news. Most communication systems simply weren’t built with them in mind. They were designed for people with desk jobs, email addresses, and time to check an intranet. For the 80% of the global workforce that doesn’t sit at a desk, staying connected requires workarounds, middlemen, and a lot of luck.
This creates a real cost. When frontline employees miss safety updates, policy changes, or shift information, operations suffer. When they never see leadership messages or recognition for their work, engagement drops. And when they are disengaged from the company, turnover rises.
Simpplr and ScreenCloud are addressing this problem through a key integration. By combining Simpplr’s AI-powered employee experience platform with ScreenCloud’s digital signage solution, organizations can reach every employee right where they work.
Simpplr: Where the frontline stays connected
Simpplr is an AI-powered employee experience platform that functions as a digital workplace for everything employees need — company news and updates, collaboration tools, integrated business systems, and other resources.
The platform works across devices — desktop, mobile, and tablet — so employees can access what they need wherever they are. A field technician can check the latest service bulletin from their truck. A retail associate can look up a policy on their phone between customers. The experience adapts to the device without losing functionality. But what sets it apart is how it personalizes that experience for each person.
That personalization makes a difference. A nurse starting her shift won’t have to scroll through 20 corporate announcements to find the one critical safety reminder for her floor. A warehouse worker stepping into a new role won’t waste 15 minutes hunting through folders for the right training document. Simpplr uses AI to surface the right information at the right time, based on someone’s role, location, team, and recent activity.
AI that understands what you need
The platform delivers content that’s most relevant to each worker. Instead of everyone seeing the same homepage, each employee gets a personalized dashboard and news feed. If you work in logistics, you see supply chain updates. If you’re in retail, you see store operations news. If you’re based in Texas, you see regional announcements. The platform learns what people engage with and adjusts accordingly.And AI search mimics natural language and the way people actually ask questions. Instead of forcing employees to guess the right keyword, they can type “where do I submit my timesheet” or “what’s the new PTO policy” and get a direct answer, not a list of links. This matters especially for frontline workers who may not have time to dig through documents or navigate complex systems.
Recognition that makes a personal impact
Recognition and rewards tools are built directly into the Simpplr platform, so no one has to log into a different system to participate. When someone goes above and beyond, their manager can recognize them publicly on the intranet and in integrated communication channels. Expressions of appreciation show up in feeds, get amplified across teams, and help shape a more positive company culture. For workers who rarely get face time with leadership, this visibility matters.
Engagement insights give leaders a real-time view of what’s landing and what’s not. They can see which messages are being read, which teams are engaged, and where communication is falling short. This helps them adjust quickly instead of discovering problems months later in an annual survey.
Simpplr creates a workplace where information flows to people instead of requiring them to hunt it down. The platform works across devices, but reaching every frontline worker requires more than a mobile app.
ScreenCloud: Communication they can’t miss
ScreenCloud turns any screen in a workplace into a real-time communication channel. That could be the monitor above a time clock, the TV in a hospital break room, the display in a factory hallway, or the screen in a retail back office. These screens aren’t decorative — they’re critical infrastructure for reaching employees who aren’t at a desk all day.
Why screens work for frontline teams
A warehouse worker doesn’t need to remember to check email — if they have a company email address at all. A restaurant line cook doesn’t need to log into an app. A hospital custodian doesn’t need to be on a computer. The information is right there, visible, in the spaces where people already spend time during their shifts.
Screens build shared culture in physical spaces. When a distribution center displays photos of employees who hit safety milestones, that becomes part of the environment. When a retail store shows real-time sales goals and progress, teams can track their impact throughout the day. When a manufacturing plant broadcasts leadership updates on a regular schedule, workers see that leaders are present and communicating directly.
And screens create immediacy. If there’s an emergency procedure change, a weather-related closure, or a last-minute shift adjustment, screens can display that information instantly. No waiting for supervisors to relay the message. The update appears where people will see it.
But the real power emerges when ScreenCloud connects to Simpplr.
The benefits of Simpplr and ScreenCloud integration
The Simpplr and ScreenCloud integration creates a direct line from the employee experience platform to the physical workplace. Content created in Simpplr — from Pages to Events and more — can be displayed instantly through ScreenCloud, bringing targeted, dynamic communications to frontline and on-site employees.
How the Simpplr and ScreenCloud integration works:
- Targeted publishing from Simpplr to screens. Pages, events, and announcements automatically display on selected ScreenCloud screens, providing the right messages in the right locations.
- QR codes connect physical and digital. QR codes let employees take action on benefits enrollment, training registration, and employee surveys in seconds.
- Consistent communication across every channel. Messaging is aligned across mobile, desktop, and digital displays, extending Simpplr’s reach to every corner of the workplace.
What this integration looks like in practice
One message, every channel. HR publishes an update about open enrollment in Simpplr. Desk workers see it in their personalized feed and on screens. Frontline workers see it on the break room screen when they take lunch. No one gets left out.
From awareness to action. A warehouse screen reminds workers of an upcoming safety training. Below the message is a QR code. One scan, and a worker lands on the Simpplr registration page. She signs up in 30 seconds — no digging, no delays.Real-time response. During a severe weather event, leadership sends an urgent update through Simpplr about facility closures and safety protocols. Within minutes, that message appears on every connected screen and every employee’s mobile device.
Right message, right place. A retail location displays shift reminders and store-specific announcements, while the corporate office screen highlights upcoming town halls. Communications teams control exactly what shows up where — ensuring every screen stays relevant to its audience.
A bridge across the digital divide
When people don’t have access to the same information and resources as everyone else, they stop feeling valued as integral to the company. This hurts employee engagement, drives turnover, creates safety risks, and erodes culture.
Simpplr’s AI-powered employee experience platform personalizes communication and surfaces the right information at the right time, whether someone accesses it from a desktop, phone, or tablet. Physical screens make communication even more visible, immediate, and unavoidable in the places where frontline work actually happens.
With the ScreenCloud integration, this experience extends into the physical workplace. Communications teams can target screens by audience, role, or location, ensuring consistency of message while tailoring what’s displayed.
Together, Simpplr and ScreenCloud close the gap between connected and frontline workers, building a workplace where no one’s out of the loop — or out of reach.
