Lausanne, Switzerland—9 November 2026—Today Navori Labs announces the acquisition of US-based Carousel Digital Signage from Tightrope Media Systems, Inc. Carousel specializes in delivering enterprise experiences in the education, corporate communications, and government sectors. The acquisition includes the Carousel business, full product line, customer portfolio, and the Carousel team of digital signage experts.  

Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Carousel has more than 1,100 customers. The acquisition will significantly broaden Navori's footprint in the United States, its biggest market globally, as well as expand reach in Carousel's main sectors, part of Navori's strategic growth into additional primary verticals of focus.  

The introduction of Carousel's platform and vertical knowledge to Navori's offering strengthens its customer reach, adding education and government to Navori's focus of retail, large venues and stadiums, quick service restaurants, and corporate communications. Carousel's platform has an easy-to-use, straightforward user interface, making it ideal for enterprise applications in digital signage installations such as lobby signage, conference rooms, and mobile messaging. Carousel customers will keep their current digital signage platform and support path. 

Navori also acquired UK-based digital signage provider Signagelive in August 2025. Both acquisitions were backed by German technology investors Maguar Capital.  

Strength of complementary platforms 

Launching Qompose in October, the industry's first unified digital signage platform, Navori partners and end users now have a full-featured, AI-first architecture that unites simple content delivery with a precise, powerful monetization engine. More than a content management system, Qompose is a complete solution. The addition of Carousel’s content management system offers flexibility in solution offering.  

"Carousel stands out as one of the easiest platforms to operate from a usability perspective, as well as having outstanding customer support, and deep knowledge of their key verticals. These are all essential for clients who may be running security- or safety-critical operations across the enterprise," saidJeffrey Weitzman, Chief Executive Officer of Navori Labs. "Adding Carousel digital signage to Navori's full technology stack fuels the next stage of growth. We're giving our partners and end users unmatched flexibility to choose the platform that best fits their needs." 

Carousel bolsters Navori's digital signage offering along with Qompose, QL, and Signagelive content management systems. More than 30 Carousel employees will join Navori, which has sold 1.5 million licenses globally in more than 125 countries.  

"Our customers chose Carousel because it makes it easy to reach their people, whether that's at a company headquarters, a college campus or a city hall," said John Reilly, Managing Director of Carousel Digital Signage. "As part of Navori, we're thrilled to bring that same powerful simplicity, and the support our customers count on, to a much broader sxet of organizations." 

Addition of Apple devices to Navori supported hardware  

Carousel runs natively on Apple, adding the easy-to-operate devices to the range of hardware the Navori group supports, an important inclusion in institutions such as K-12 and higher education, government buildings, and corporate campuses.
