"Richardson Pioneer Ag Business Centres are located across Western Canada," said Blair Swarbrick, Marketing Manager for Richardson Pioneer.  "We understand the importance of customer service and that communicating effectively at these locations is key.  ScreenScape gives us the ability to present customers with information that is relevant to farmers and helpful to their operations."

ScreenScape is an industry leading place-based media software solution that businesses use to engage with retail customers using intelligent digital displays. Using web-based software, ScreenScape has made it easier for retail marketers to share digital content, such as video and social media, with customers as they visit a place of business.
