Frequently Asked Questions

Discover how our Lift & Learn technology works, what’s included, and how our flexible pricing makes it easy to get started. If you have any other questions, our team is always here to help.

How does Lift & Learn technology work?

When a customer lifts a product fitted with an XTAG® Sensor, it automatically triggers digital content — such as videos, specifications, or promotions on nearby screens. This creates an engaging, interactive user experience without the need for apps or scanning QR codes.

What hardware is needed for a Lift & Learn setup?

You’ll need our XTAG® USB-Controller, XTAG® Sensors, a compatible digital display (with Android OS or external media player), and your digital content ready to upload. We also offer optional accessories like security tethers and custom stands.

Can I manage content myself?

Yes! With our CMS Plus or Analytics Pro software licenses, you can remotely update, manage, and schedule content across all your connected displays from an easy-to-use dashboard. Our Standalone (free) license allows you to update content locally with a keyboard and mouse.

How is the software priced?

We offer three license tiers:

Standalone App (Free) – Basic lift & learn functionality without remote updates or analytics.

CMS-Plus (£58/year or £6/month) – Full remote content management.

Analytics Pro (£90/year or £9/month) – Content management plus advanced usage analytics.

Licenses are priced per Controller, allowing flexibility based on your project size.

What happens if I want to upgrade my software license?

You can upgrade anytime! If you're switching from CMS Plus to Analytics Pro mid-term, we'll automatically credit any unused portion of your current plan toward your new subscription.
