If you work in Operations, you know that timing is crucial to your communications process. You need to deliver information not just when people want it but when they need it. Since players are constantly bombarded with information, focusing on the right method and timing of delivery is essential for effective absorption.

While Teamworks Hub serves as a digital command center for many, allowing Operations staff to send information directly to players’ phones happens when players shouldn’t have their phones. Or when you want them fully present with coaches and teammates instead of glued to their screens?

That’s where your facility’s physical space becomes valuable. You can leverage your environment to provide players with timely information exactly when they need it. By taking all your work from Teamworks Hub and displaying it throughout your facility, you create an integrated communication system that goes where your players and staff are.

From Phones to Facility: How Rangers FC Reimagined Information Delivery

As a professional football club in Glasgow, Scotland, Rangers FC faced a key challenge: keeping players and staff informed while minimizing phone distractions. They found their solution through Digital Displays, a centralized system for sharing engaging content and real-time information. With approximately 20 screens strategically placed throughout their football department, Rangers implemented a comprehensive communication system that integrates seamlessly with their existing Teamworks Hub.

The impact was immediately visible. Recently, Ben Mitchell, Academy Operations Executive, observed a first-team player preparing for a B-team cup game. Instead of tracking down a coach for information, Ben found the player standing right in front of the display, reviewing his schedule and training plan – exactly the kind of engagement the Rangers hoped to achieve.

Organisation-Wide Impact: Strategic Information Display

• Real-time updates are visible across multiple areas – from nutritional messaging in dining rooms to operations information in reception and specific training schedules in gym areas
• Young players, particularly in phone-restricted areas like the dining room, can stay informed about schedules and locations without device dependency
• Their 24/7 facility maintains seamless communication through automated playlist management – professional team content during the day automatically switches to academy teams’ information at night

The success is evident in both the system’s adoption and the results. Players actively engage with the displays and even provide constructive feedback when information needs updating. The implementation has yielded numerous benefits, from increased player engagement to streamlined communication processes.

“For us, it is a great additional communication layer—letting us push out schedule changes, reminders, and important daily updates throughout different areas of the building. So if you haven’t got your phone on you or you’re rushing through the building, you won’t miss key messages.”

Ben’s trust in the system was apparent when other European clubs visited recently. The digital display system has become more than just a communication tool – it’s now an integral part of Rangers’ modern infrastructure, demonstrating how technology can enhance team operations while reducing digital distractions.

Right Information, Right Audience, Right Time

At the Sydney 2025 Partner Summit, Ebony Rocci of the Richmond Tigers (AFL) shared, “We are using Digital Displays across all of our levels and facilities, making sure the right information hits the right people at the right time.”

This powerful approach to information delivery takes many forms across an organization’s facilities, serving specific needs for different spaces and audiences.

Digital Displays serve multiple functions across various facility areas. In schedules and activities, they can show team calendars, display multiple schedules simultaneously, and provide multi-day views. For performance and training purposes, the displays showcase workout plans in weight rooms, feature team competition leaderboards, and guide athletes through training programs. In dining facilities, they present menu information, dietary guidance, and individual meal options. Academic spaces benefit from displays showing study hall schedules, tutor availability, and QR code check-ins for student events.

Check out how UNC Charlotte uses Digital Displays to show upcoming tutoring appointments, their hours of operation, a countdown to priority registration for classes, a scannable QR code and more.

Digital Displays also support general communications by sharing videos, displaying alerts and reminders, showing announcements, and featuring countdown clocks for important events. Additionally, the displays can be used for partner and sponsorship messaging, recruiting purposes, and advertising opportunities.
