Scala is enterprise digital signage and in-store experience management software used by large brands to run secure, large-scale networks of digital screens and retail media across stores, quick-service restaurants, airports, banks and corporate environments. Beyond content display, it turns every screen into a sensor, layering in audience intelligence, mobile sensors and computer vision to analyze shopper and employee behavior and personalize content by profile and location. It's built for enterprise retail and marketing teams with a 'marketing-first' approach, and (following its acquisition by Vertiseit) operates through a software-first, partner-only model under the Dise brand.

Heap automatically captures every user interaction — clicks, form submissions, swipes — so you can analyse behaviour retroactively without pre-planning events. Loved by product teams at Twilio, Freshworks, and HashiCorp.
