Xibo is solid open-source signage. The catch for Belgian agencies: there's no Omnicasa connector, and the DataSet route is yours to build.
Xibo has been around since 2009 and the open-source crowd respects it for a reason. You get a real CMS, a proper Layout Designer with Regions and Playlists, a Schedule that handles dayparting, and Display Profiles per screen. You can run it on-prem if your IT team wants the box in the server room, or use Xibo Cloud if you don't. The Module Store keeps adding Modules, and DataSets give you a generic way to feed any table into a Layout. For IT-led deployments that want full control, it's a sensible pick.
Take an Omnicasa kantoor in Gent with both verkoop and verhuur in portefeuille. The agent updates a mandaat in the morning, marks a pand as onder compromis after lunch, logs new biedingen in the dossier by five. The window screen has to follow that workflow, not lag a day behind. Omnicasa already pushes to Immoweb, Zimmo and Realo, so the data is clean and bilingual. The screen in the etalage should be the same source of truth, not a CSV someone exports on Monday and forgets on Thursday.
Gibeon talks to Omnicasa over their partner API and pulls every 30 minutes. Per pand we sync address, price, bedrooms, surface area, EPC label, status, and the first five photos. NL and FR fiches come through in one go, so a bilingual kantoor in Brussels can route the Dutch version to one Display and the French version to another. If the internet drops on a Friday evening, the last cached snapshot keeps playing on the screen until the connection is back. No empty window, no fallback slide about WiFi.
Technically yes. You'd write a script that pulls from Omnicasa's partner API, shapes it into a DataSet, handles photos, status changes, NL/FR variants, and you'd maintain that forever. Most agencies we talk to tried it for two weeks and went back to manual. Gibeon is the maintained version of that idea.
Sure, keep Xibo where it works. Gibeon runs alongside on the screens that need Omnicasa listings, usually the window displays and the office wall. The two don't fight, they just handle different jobs. Plenty of customers run both.
Yes. Omnicasa stores both languages on the same pandfiche, and Gibeon picks the right one per screen. You set the language on the Display, the agent doesn't think about it again. The opvolging stays in Omnicasa, the screen just reflects whatever the dossier says.
Spin up a Gibeon account, connect Omnicasa, and check if your window screen matches the dossier by tomorrow morning.
