AdVision Connect

A groundbreaking software platform called AdVision Connect transforms how short-term rental operators engage with guests and generate additional revenue through customisable interfaces and targeted advertising on smart TVs.

The innovative system enables property managers to fully customise their guests' television experience with branded launch screens, building information, location details, and WiFi credentials—all controllable in real-time. The platform's standout feature is its sophisticated advertising capability, supporting interactive, static, and video advertisements while integrating with property management systems and smart locks.

'AdVision Connect was born from a desire to improve revenue streams for short-term rental providers,' said Trent Challis, the platform's developer. 'What began as a simple requirement to display advertisements has evolved into a comprehensive solution for a multi-billion dollar industry.'

Comprehensive Interactive Ecosystem

The technology extends far beyond just advertising displays. AdVision Connect creates an interactive ecosystem where guests can purchase WiFi access, order services directly through the television interface, and request stay extensions.

'In a rental property, the system can display WiFi details with QR codes for instant connection,' explained Challis. 'The complete customizability means nothing is impossible—selling retail items, booking local tours, or ordering food delivery. The platform's flexibility allows it to be tailored to any environment and business model.'

Universal Compatibility Without Additional Hardware

One of AdVision Connect's key advantages is its ability to run natively on any Android device and most televisions, eliminating the need for specialised hardware. This universal compatibility dramatically reduces implementation costs while expanding potential applications.

'The system works with existing hardware that businesses already have in place,' Challis noted. 'There's no need to invest in proprietary equipment or complex installations. It's designed to be deployed quickly and efficiently on standard consumer devices.'

Rapid Industry Adoption Beyond Hospitality

Interest in AdVision Connect has rapidly expanded beyond the vacation rental market. A major train company in Canada has expressed serious interest in adapting the technology for its onboard touchscreens to deliver targeted content to commuters. Meanwhile, a prominent London taxi company has recognised the potential to replace its existing systems with affordable off-the-shelf hardware that allows it to retain 100% of advertising revenue.

'The level of interest has been extraordinary,' Challis noted. 'We're seeing applications for this technology in areas we hadn't initially considered, demonstrating its versatility and widespread appeal.'

Technical Innovation in Record Time

The development speed stands in stark contrast to previous attempts in the industry. 'We had 4K advertisements cached to devices with zero lag by the end of our first development week. One of the major difficulties we overcame was enabling 4K video support across all major television brands without requiring separate hardware,' explained Challis. 'This was a significant technical challenge that our team successfully resolved, allowing the system to deliver stunning visuals directly through the television's native capabilities.'

Future Growth and Distribution Model

'We've already received an acquisition offer of $3.8 million from a competitor who immediately recognised AdVision Connect's potential after seeing the launcher and advertising system in action,' Challis revealed. 'The ability to control everything from a web browser in real-time places our solution far ahead of anything currently available on the market.'

Using a freemium model, Challis plans to distribute AdVision Connect, including its control panel software. The initial platform will be available at no cost, and monetisation will occur once the network grows to tens of thousands of devices displaying advertisements.

The system has been successfully integrated with leading television brands, including Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic, Hisense, and TCL—all supporting 4K resolution without latency or performance issues.

For property managers, AdVision Connect ensures complete television and device branding customisation while maintaining compatibility with existing television interfaces and software.
