  • How do I know if my screens are connected to the internet?
    24/7 Health Check System Monitoring. The BFA Group will remotely monitor the status of connectivity for each of your connected screens by “pinging” the media players every minute. Should your screen become disconnected from the internet the BFA monitoring system will alert indicating re-connection required. Our technical team will reach out to assist with resolution. In the meantime, because the media players have cached content in their library your content will continue to play, even without the internet connected.

This understanding allows us to create and manage content to visually reach your on-site customers, delivering the right message, to the right place, at the right time. Our highly customizable, instantly adaptable content is designed to appeal to your captive audience: your guests purchasing a vehicle, checking in for service or waiting the completion of a service. We are committed to making available a compelling mix of Hyundai Auto Canada approved and relevant content, accompanied by dynamic Dealer exclusive content that educates, informs, and entertains. Currently The BFA Group provides digital signage and associated content management services to over 120 dealers in both Canada and the United States. With over 500 “screens on the wall” we have refined and perfected both our proprietary content management platform and our internal content creation and management process in order to deliver a exceptional and personalized customer experience to our dealers.

“I had always been interested in digital signage but based on past frustrating experiences with clunky software and difficulties updating content, we went without it for years. In 2022 we began service with BFA. They provided the screens and hardware for both Hyundai and Genesis stores, had them installed promptly and we were up and running in days. Since then, they have been in contact with us on a regular basis and the updates are usually done same day. They have great video and graphic assets which makes the program simple and easy. I’m very happy with my decision to move forward with BFA.”
