Why wait until you have hundreds of screens?

Plenty of platforms reserve white-label access for their biggest partners. Helm hands you the keys from day one — build at your own pace, not someone else's threshold.

The platform — already built and running

Not a mockup. This is what your clients will actually use.

Every screenshot below is the live dashboard — the same one running customer screens today.

Manage every customer from one place.

The Platform Admin dashboard — every client org you manage, their screen counts, their plan tier, updating live as your business grows. Log in and it's there, not a slide in a pitch deck.

Freeform, not fenced-in

A genuine design tool, not a template picker.

Helm's Slide Designer gives your customers a genuine freeform canvas — not just predefined content fields. Drag, resize, and position elements anywhere on the canvas.

Live data, not static slides.

Clock, weather, RSS, menus, KPIs, sports scores — rendered by the same engine that plays on the actual screen. What your client designs is exactly what airs.

Fleet management, at a glance

Know what's live, instantly.

Built for real-world playback

Runs on what your customers already have.

Dedicated Android players, smart TVs, PCs and browser-based playback give you options for virtually every installation.

Android, Windows, Samsung, and LG marks are trademarks of their respective owners, shown here to indicate platform compatibility only.

The actual pitch

You bring the customers. Helm brings the technology.

No software to build. No servers to maintain. No player app to develop. No signage platform to invent from scratch. Plug into one that's already built, already running, and already proven — and start selling.

Partner economics — realistic numbers

Two ways in. Pick your path.

Wholesale pricing gets sharper automatically as you grow — no renegotiation needed. Transparent partner pricing, no hidden volume requirements, no pricing games.

$9.00 / screen / mo

Every tool included. No upgrade tiers.

Every Helm plan includes the full platform — nothing gated behind a higher tier. $9.00/screen retail gets you all of it: Design tools, all 15 live widgets, proof-of-playback reporting, native Android playback. Your Reseller or White Label discount stacks on top of the whole thing, not just part of it.

White Label

Build a completely independent signage brand — your logo, your colors, your domain, your app. No Helm Signage mentioned anywhere your customers look.

  • The deepest wholesale pricing in the program

Turn every screen into recurring revenue.

You choose what you charge your customer. Helm supplies the platform underneath at wholesale. Everything above that line is yours.

Screens managedYour wholesale costExample price to customerYour margin / screenMonthly gross margin
25$7.20$19.00$11.80$295
100$6.30$19.00$12.70$1,270
500$6.30$19.00$12.70$6,350

Illustrative example assuming a $19.00/screen/month customer price — you set your own pricing, so your actual margin will vary. Doesn't include additional revenue from setup, content creation, installation, or ongoing management, which most Resellers also charge for separately. Helm's $9.00 direct rate is software-only — your customer's price can include your service, support, onboarding, and account management on top of it.

A second revenue stream

Sell more than screens — manage the content too.

Reselling the platform is one business. Managing what actually plays on the screen — content edits, scheduling, design — is another, and it's entirely yours to build on top of Helm. This isn't a hypothetical — it's a structure accounts run on today.

Priced per customer location, up to 8 screens (10 on Premium). Editing a slide updates it everywhere it's used, so screen count doesn't change the cost of an edit — the cap is about setup and support time, not editing. A location running more than that is a custom quote.

What makes this work as a business, not just a price list.

What counts as an "edit"

A change to existing content — a price, a photo, a date, a line of wording. A brand-new design from scratch is quoted separately, so the monthly fee never turns into an unlimited design subscription.

Beyond the plan

  • Additional edit: $15 each — no forced upgrade for a one-off busy month
  • Standard design: $30–$45
  • Advanced design: $45–$75
  • Rush turnaround: +50%

Suggested one-time new-customer setup fee: $150 — covers initial screen configuration and first content load, charged once per new customer, separate from their recurring plan. Scale the same structure into a custom quote for multi-location or franchise clients: larger edit allowances, centralized management, corporate-wide campaigns.

The math

None of this touches your Helm wholesale cost — a Premium client can add $150/month in recurring service revenue on top of your screen subscription revenue. Your service pricing, staffing, and margins are entirely yours to control.

One customer. Multiple revenue streams.

Same math, two realistic starting sizes — see how it scales.

10 screens
  • Customer screen subscriptions$190/mo
  • Helm wholesale cost$72/mo
  • Screen margin$118/mo
  • Premium content management (add-on)+$150/mo
  • Potential gross revenue over Helm cost$268/mo
25 screens / multi-screen location
  • Customer screen subscriptions$475/mo
  • Helm wholesale cost$180/mo
  • Screen margin$295/mo
  • Custom managed service+$225/mo
  • Potential gross revenue over Helm cost$520/mo

Plus setup, installation, hardware, and original creative work — priced and kept by you.

Illustrative example assuming a $19.00/screen/month customer price. Resellers establish their own pricing and actual results vary — these are gross figures, before your own time and cost to deliver the service.
