Rate board software for live gold, silver and forex prices
CloudyFy TV rate boards hold your rates as rows, grouped into categories such as Gold, Silver and Platinum, and quoted in rupees or dollars. Change a value in the browser, and every board showing it redraws in about a second, with no file to re-export or anyone to send it to.
What is a digital rate board?
A digital rate board is a screen that shows a list of prices you control from a browser and updates the moment you change them.
Jewellers use them for gold and silver by purity, banks and exchange counters use them for currency buy and sell rates, and commodity traders use them for whatever they quote. The structure is always the same: a label, a number, a unit, and a group heading. What separates a rate board from a poster is that the number is a field, not artwork.
In CloudyFy TV a rate board is a named board with a currency, an optional valid-until date, and any number of rate rows. Each row has a label ("Gold 22K"), a value, an optional unit and an optional category. Categories are the section headings on the board. Rows with no category sit together in one unnamed group.
How does a rate board work on CloudyFy TV?
You create the board, type the rows, style it once, and after that the daily job is editing numbers.
Create a board and set its currency
Choose rupees, dollars, or leave it unset. Unset is a real answer: the board then draws plain numbers with no symbol, which is what you want when the rows are not money.Add rate rows
Give each row a label, a value, and a unit. The unit box suggests per gram, per 10g, per kg, per tola, per ounce, per litre, per unit, per piece and percent, and accepts anything else you type, because the unit belongs to your trade.Group the rows into categories
Type a category on a row and the board grows a section heading. Leave it blank and the row stays in the general group.Style the board
Open the style drawer, pick one of five presets (Midnight, Ivory, Slate, Gold on black, Emerald) or set the seven colours yourself, choose banded or plain rows, and set separate font weights for labels and numbers.Place it and publish
Drop a rates block into a layout, publish the layout to your screens, and from then on use Publish rates now after an edit. It reports how many screens carry a rate block and how many of those are online at that moment.
What you can do with a CloudyFy TV rate board
Update every rate in one save
A bulk update writes new values for every row on the board in a single action and pushes the result straight to the screens. On a morning when gold, silver, and platinum all move, that is one save, not one edit per row.
Quote in rupees or dollars, correctly
Currency is set at the board level because one board represents one screen in one country. A rupee board formats with Indian digit grouping, so a rate reads 1,55,780. A dollar board reads 155,780. A board with no currency set draws no symbol at all rather than guessing, which is exactly what a board of purity percentages or making charges needs.
Show more categories than fit on one screen
A board with several categories shows one slide at a time, advances from right to left, and loops back to the first. The default interval is 5,000 milliseconds and you can set it from 800 milliseconds upward, with up to twelve categories on a slide. Turn the slide off and every category stacks into one scrolling column instead. A board with a single category stays still, because there is nothing to slide between.
Match the board to your showroom
The style drawer includes the full set: title background and text, odd- and even-row backgrounds and text, board background and border colour, banded or plain rows, label and value font weights from 300 to 900, row spacing, card padding, and font size. The font size you set is treated as a ceiling rather than a fixed size, so a long rate label makes the type smaller instead of spilling off the panel.
Put rates next to everything else
A rates block is a block. It can share a screen with a video, a photo of the collection, a clock, the weather and a live ticker running along the bottom. One screen, one layout, several live sources, each updating on its own.
See live tickerPost rates from your own system
If you already calculate rates somewhere, your script can write them directly to the board through the CloudyFy TV REST API instead of having someone retype them. See the developer overview. CloudyFy TV does not buy or resell a market data feed: the numbers on the board are the numbers your business publishes.
See developer overviewKeep the board up when the line goes down
Players cache locally and keep rendering, so a dropped connection leaves the last published rates on the wall rather than a blank screen. Set a valid-until date on the board when you need the board itself to state how current it is.
Run it on the screens you already have
Rate boards render on Android TV and Amazon Fire TV, on Samsung Tizen 6.0 and LG webOS 6.0 commercial panels with no external player, on Android tablets, and in a Chromium browser. Portrait suits a long list of purities; landscape suits buy and sell columns.
Does a digital rate board sell more than a printed one?
No independent study measures gold rate boards specifically, and we are not going to invent one.
What the research does support is narrower and still useful: peer-reviewed research confirms dynamic content holds attention longer than static content. That finding comes from a computer-vision study of shoppers in a retail store by Ravnik and Solina, published in Interacting with Computers in 2013. Source: Ravnik & Solina (2013), Interacting with Computers 25(3), 218-228.
- The honest case for a digital rate board is operational rather than promotional. The rate on the wall is the rate in your system, it changes in about a second when the market moves, and nobody has to walk to the window with a marker pen. On a counter where the rate changes several times a day, that is the whole argument.
Which industries use rate boards?
Any business where published prices change during the trading day.
In short
A CloudyFy TV rate board is a list of rows you edit in a browser: label, value, unit, category. It formats rupees using Indian digit grouping and dollars using international formatting, supports five presets or seven custom colours, slides through categories when there are more than fit on screen, and reaches every screen in about a second. Rate Boards is included for every company on Starter, Standard and Pro.
