Content management system for showrooms and exhibitions
New products. New content. The same showroom.
A showroom should grow alongside your business. Products change, new projects are added, and different visitors are interested in different topics. With the Garamantis content management system, you can manage the content of your interactive stations yourself – via a central interface in your browser.
We tailor the CMS to your media, content and workflows. This enables the marketing, sales and communications teams to keep the space up to date and focus on the next meeting.

Updating content without having to redevelop the application
In the CMS, for example, you can manage product information, images, videos, PDFs and multilingual texts. The display is handled by the bespoke multi-touch software: it links your content to the interface and the interaction within the space.
A new product image or updated text can be replaced within the designated content structure. If a new interaction, a different workflow or an additional interface is required, we will further develop the application accordingly. We therefore clarify, right from the design stage, which changes your team should be able to make independently at a later stage.
A CMS for your interactive stations
Instead of managing media separately for each device, you can manage your content centrally. We determine which content appears on which screen and how it is presented, in line with the project’s requirements. For larger datasets, bulk imports and custom API integrations are available.
A system of roles and permissions determines who is authorised to access and edit which content. The interface is tailored to your team’s tasks and the structure of your exhibition.
Hosting in Germany or at your premises
The CMS can be hosted in the Garamantis Cloud on servers in Germany or locally at your premises. We will work with your relevant staff to determine the most suitable deployment option, access rights and required interfaces.
Interactive applications can store downloaded content locally. This means they do not require a permanent internet connection to play back this content. New content is synchronised when a connection is available. We need to consider functions that retrieve up-to-date data from external services separately: local media playback and live data have different requirements.
CMS and room control: two functions, one integrated system
The CMS organises the content. The room control system manages the flow of a presentation and the coordination of the technical equipment. In a corporate showroom,the two are coordinated with one another.
The Wack Group’s showroom demonstrates how this can look: a control tablet allows visitors to plan their visit by language, business division and story. At the KEBA Innovation Space, Garamantis developed the showroom software and the CMS to create a visitor experience featuring individually selected themes.
How to get your bespoke CMS
The Garamantis Content Management System is an integral part of every project and every interactive installation. We will automatically design a CMS tailored to your project and implement it for you.
Tailored precisely to your needs:you won’t find a single thing in your CMS that you don’t need. That’s because we tailor all products, project templates and upload areas exactly to your specific use case. This not only saves time when uploading new content, but also during training.
Effortless content insertion:Simply upload your videos, 360-degree images, photos, PDFs or text. Our CMS converts them, scales them and integrates them seamlessly into your interface design. Bulk imports and API integrations make even extensive changes a breeze.
A CMS for the entire showroom: Manage a single installation or up to a thousand! Using a single user interface, you can update the content on your devices, link installations together and manage a complete interactive exhibition.
Web-based access:Do you have a new product or a last-minute request to change the content? Simply access your application from anywhere in the world.
Practical role and permissions system: You decide who is authorised to enter which content into the CMS. For example, which departments within the company or which external agencies.
Secure servers and data transmission: Banks, airports and public authorities have tested and approved our CMS. Your CMS will be hosted in our Garamantis Cloud in Germany or, if you prefer, on your own premises.
The best of both worlds: as soon as your installation is connected to the internet, updates are automatically downloaded from the CMS and stored locally. This ensures that your Garamantis products remain efficient and up to date, even without a permanent internet connection.
Ready to go: The development of your bespoke CMS is an integral part of each of our products, including the initial upload of your content.
Frequently asked questions about the Showroom CMS
Can we update the content ourselves?
Yes. Your team can manage the intended content in the browser. We will agree on which fields, media and structures can be edited as part of the project.
Can existing data be integrated?
Yes, depending on the technical environment, this can be done via data imports or custom interfaces. To this end, we will review the existing sources and the required updates.
Does the showroom work offline as well?
Media stored locally can be played back without a permanent internet connection. For live data and external services, the behaviour depends on the specific integration.
