Today, we’ll look at A&W’s journey with Blupepper.
Let’s explore how they’ve succeeded in leveraging digital signage in Malaysia to transform their retail experience and drive business growth.
Using Digital Signage Software in Malaysia to Reach Greater Heights | A&W’s Success Story
Business Background – A&W Malaysia
In recent years, the beloved fast food brand A&W has been making a comeback in the Malaysian market. They’ve recently celebrated the opening of their 100th outlet in the country.
However, the company faced the challenge of reintroducing its brand to a new generation of consumers while retaining the loyalty of existing customers.
As part of their strategy, A&W recognised the importance of adopting modern technologies to stay competitive and enhance customer experiences.
The Agency – Blupepper’s Digital Signage Solutions
A&W’s quest for digital transformation led them to partner with Blupepper, a leading digital signage company in Malaysia.
Blupepper’s comprehensive platform offered A&W a range of powerful features, including centralised content management, real-time updates, and seamless integration across multiple locations.
By consolidating vendors and adopting Blupepper’s user-friendly platform, A&W gained greater control over their digital signage network, ensuring consistent branding and messaging across all outlets.
What were some of the challenges that A&W faced before adopting digital signage?
What led to A&W’s decision to turn to Blupepper?
- Difficulty navigating and accessing systems due to different setups across different branches
- Last-minute changes take too long (up to 2 days) to be updated on TV displays in specific locations
- Inefficient manual efforts in coordinating marketing messages
- Inflexible control of advertising content
Having multiple vendors managing different screens and setups without a centralised control unit proved difficult and labour-intensive.
With Blupepper’s intuitive and flexible platform, A&W’s marketing team can easily create, schedule, and update content as needed. Coupled with our cloud-based infrastructure that provides scalability and accessibility, A&W can save time and manpower by managing its digital signage network remotely from any location.
How did Blupepper help A&W implement their digital signage infrastructure?
Blupepper’s goal was to provide A&W with a dynamic signage platform that offers:
- Easy and intuitive system navigation
- Compatibility with a wide range of display models and setup configurations
- Convenient cloud service that grants access anytime and anywhere
- Reliable service availability and uptime
Installations were carried out in phases to avoid disrupting daily restaurant operations. With proper scheduling and planning, it was only a matter of time before Blupepper successfully set up digital signage in all of A&W’s outlets in Malaysia.
We also worked closely to customise our platform to accommodate A&W’s diverse store layouts, menu variations, and marketing campaigns for seasonal items. Advanced features like automated scheduling and content rotation were implemented to optimise operational efficiency and ensure timely updates across all branches.
The setup was just the beginning. What about learning how to use it?
Not to worry, we provided comprehensive training and support to A&W’s staff members to access the full capabilities of our platform.
Once the servers and displays are up and running, monitoring is as simple as a press of a button.
And we don’t just stop there. To ensure smooth operations by our partners, Blupepper’s skilled technicians are here for technical and customer support to minimise downtime.
What were the results of using digital signage software in A&W restaurants in Malaysia?
You know how people say “you eat with your eyes first”? Using digital menu boards in Malaysia is more than just a visual upgrade.
Since deploying Blupepper’s digital signage solutions, A&W has experienced tangible benefits across various aspects of its business:
- Increased footfall and customer engagement
- Higher sales conversions
- Reduced operational costs and carbon emissions
- Increased efficiency in overall operations
- Modernised and updated look
By leveraging digital signage displays and targeted promotions, A&W has effectively captured consumers’ attention and influenced their purchasing decisions.
A&W was pleased to share at least a 30% increase in upselling sales! Customers were reported to be more attracted to the food menu and promotional content shown in the stores’ displays. This led to more people purchasing sides, desserts, or simply upsizing their meal orders.
With vibrant displays, interactive electronic menus, and real-time updates, A&W’s outlets now exude a modern and dynamic ambience that resonates with today’s tech-savvy consumers.
The transition from traditional print advertising to digital menus also helped lower costs and environmental impact while improving speed in marketing execution. With just a few button clicks, pricing or menu changes can be updated instantly across all stores in a snap!
