Digital Display Solutions | Rail & Retail

What makes L.B. Foster different from digital signage suppliers?

L.B. Foster provides the full ecosystem: UK-manufactured displays built for demanding environments, an intelligent content management platform, real-time data integration, professional installation, and long-term maintenance and support.

We work with organisations where digital signage is operationally critical. Our solutions serve two distinct markets, each with dedicated teams and specialist expertise.

Passenger Information Systems for transport operators

Intelligent technology that adapts in real-time, keeping passengers informed and journeys moving.

Real-time passenger information is the backbone of a modern transport network. L.B. Foster's Inform platform delivers live service updates, wayfinding, and accessibility features across stations, bus interchanges, airports, and transport hubs throughout the UK.

Our systems go beyond static timetable displays. Inform integrates live data feeds, adapts to service disruptions automatically, and supports inclusive communication through innovations like Inform BSL Messaging, which delivers station announcements in British Sign Language.

Every product in the range, from durable outdoor LED displays to interactive touchscreen totems and eco-friendly Digital Posters, is designed and manufactured in the UK to withstand the demands of high-traffic public environments.

Digital signage solutions for retail and commercial environments

Creative digital campaigns that build brand loyalty and drive revenue.

For retail, corporate, and DOOH environments, L.B. Foster's Skratch division delivers tailored digital signage systems that go well beyond a screen on a wall. Skratch combines bespoke hardware design, AV installation, and a powerful multi-platform content management system to create digital experiences that transform physical spaces.

Whether it's an immersive in-store campaign, a corporate reception display, or a network of digital out-of-home advertising screens, Skratch provides the creative technology and ongoing management to make it work at scale.

The Skratch CMS gives organisations centralised, real-time control over their entire digital estate, from a single screen to hundreds of locations, with scheduling, zoning, and multi-format content support built in.
