Leonard Buildings and Truck Accessories, based in North Carolina, is a company with a rich history spanning 65 years. Best known for selling premium building materials, farm and garden buildings as well as providing a huge range of truck accessories, Leonard has always been at the forefront of its industry. 

However, as the company grew, so did its communication challenges. With employees spread across multiple locations, many of whom without access to work emails or devices, ensuring consistent and timely messaging became a significant hurdle. 

As part of their drive to connect with their deskless workforce, Leonard chose ScreenCloud to power their digital signage across multiple sites and locations. 

For Leonard’s Chief HR Officer, Kim Reynolds, one of the biggest challenges was finding an effective way to communicate with employees who didn’t have access to traditional channels like email. Whether it was open enrollment information, safety updates, or company events, ensuring that every employee was informed and engaged was a persistent struggle.

“From a manufacturing aspect, since implementing ScreenCloud, the results have been more employee engagement. Employees reach out to us more, they're more engaged in our activities and events,” says Reynolds. The ability to share updates in real time, without relying on email or printed notices, was a game-changer.

One of the standout benefits of ScreenCloud for Leonard was its ease of implementation. Chris Martin, Senior IT Director at Leonard highlighted the benefits, pointing out that setting up was quick, simple and required zero technical knowhow, “We’ve been able to deploy these things at scale very quickly. At the store level, when they've received the devices, all they really have to do is plug a HDMI cable into the device and it's ready to go,” says Martin.

This straightforward setup meant Leonard could deploy ScreenCloud to locations across the company, rapidly setting up their network of real-time communication tools without the need for technical expertise.

Maximizing employee engagement with dynamic content

Beyond just displaying messages, Leonard has found creative ways to engage employees using ScreenCloud. One key feature highlighted by Audrey Price, Leonard’s Employee Relations Specialist, is the easy integration with Canva. 

There are various tools for content creation with ScreenCloud. However by using the Canva app integration, Price was able to streamline the process by keeping everything on one link, ensuring that slides rotated seamlessly without manual updates.

This feature has been especially useful for:

Employee recognition – Celebrating achievements and acknowledging team members.

Event promotions – Keeping everyone informed about upcoming company activities.

Real-time updates – Instantly notifying employees about operational changes, product updates, and safety protocols.

As Kim Reynolds points out, “The structure at Leonards means that our audience includes the manufacturing floor, right up to customer facing retail. So for a company such as ours, we’re cascading through multiple lines of communication that are really changing behavior”.

For Leonard, ScreenCloud is more than just a communication tool—it’s a driver of company culture and operational efficiency. Kim Dresser, HR Director for Manufacturing, emphasizes how small details, like ensuring everyone knows about an upcoming event, can significantly impact workplace morale and engagement.

Kim Reynolds agrees,  “For instance, we’re having a Cinco de Mayo celebration, and everybody knows about it at the same time. It’s small things like that that really drive culture. It drives employee engagement.”

Additionally, ScreenCloud plays a vital role in critical business functions such as open enrollment notifications and product knowledge training for retail employees. By centralizing and simplifying information distribution, Leonard has been able to enhance productivity, ensure compliance, and improve overall business operations.

When asked if she would recommend ScreenCloud, Kim Reynolds doesn’t hesitate. “For so many reasons. It’s probably impossible to say them all. First of all, I don’t know of any other solution that gives you real-time communication with your employees.”

With benefits spanning HR, operations, sales, and culture-building, Leonard’s experience with ScreenCloud highlights just how powerful digital signage can be for organizations looking to enhance internal communication.

For any company struggling with dispersed teams, engagement challenges, or outdated communication methods, Leonard’s success story serves as a powerful testament to the impact of ScreenCloud.

How 3M uses screens to release information simultaneously across multiple offices, ensuring information is seen rather than buried in emails. 

3M is a science-based technology company creating products that advance the home, business and life. Everything 3M produces is powered by science and the company has more than 1000 scientists across the world, operating in more than 150 countries across the Middle East, Asia, America and Europe. 

To find a vehicle for displaying information to hundreds of staff, in multiple offices located within different parts of Saudi Arabia

To find a system that would make sharing and uploading content easier and more automated than traditional methods, such as using a USB stick

To have a digital signage system where documents that were already being used (like Powerpoint slides) would automatically be repurposed for use on screen

Here, we speak to Ranim Amin, Digital Marketing Leader at 3M, on her experience using ScreenCloud to power their digital signage.

At 3M we have lots of updates happening internally all of the time and it’s very difficult for us to conduct a meeting every time to announce something. Every 3Mer has a high workload and we want to make sure that messages from our top executives or any internal updates happening within the company are well heard and available to all of our employees.

3M in Saudi has three different offices across the country so we don’t see all of our colleagues that often. Our idea was to find a system where we could publish a message and everyone at the same time would see that message. We thought about screens but wanted a different method to the old-fashioned version of using a USB. 

We then found ScreenCloud. It had all of the features we wanted and was very easy to use.

We currently have 11 screens setup using Smart TVs, across our three office locations with a focus on the major places within the company like the screens in the canteen and the reception. 

The screens display our internal messages, I have access along with two other authorized people. It’s going really well, we have all of the updates right away and everything’s up and running.

We use a mix of the ScreenCloud apps and our own programmes. We use Weather app, social media and Clock app. When I check the App Store, there are so many new apps, they’re being updated constantly. 

We have simple templates for internal messages, we upload our own images and videos which helps provide employee education about 3M to promote knowledge, new product launches  and achievements. 

The easiest thing is that I can upload my PPT document as it is and have it displayed as images, that’s so useful. 

The staff really enjoy when we display their photos. In any small gathering we cover it and the photos are uploaded in the moment, which makes the team really excited as this makes it personal and touches base with their emotions. This makes the team excited about what’s happening next on the screen and grabs their attention.

Everything from new products, to management changes and announcements, we can promote easily. We also plan the content, we have a committee with different people from different departments who assist with content direction. 

Each month if there are no new announcements content is still being shown. We might share the major events happening in Saudi Arabia, which help our sales team, so our content is always being updated and refreshed. 

ScreenCloud software is very easy to use and everyone can use it. It doesn’t require any training, it’s as simple as any other software we are using in our daily life both within and outside of 3M. It serves our purpose very well.
