Case Study: Wesley Media future-proofs digital funeral services with Newicon

Wesley Media rolls out cross-platform funeral software to 40+ crematoria with Newicon

Newicon partnered with Wesley Media, a company providing multimedia services for funeral ceremonies, to overcome a significant technological challenge. Wesley needed to build a powerful, all-in-one media player capable of functions ranging from webcasting to digital signage, which also had to be extremely simple for non-technical users to operate. The solution also had to be cross-platform and themeable to allow for future growth and modernization beyond their existing hardware-dependent system.

Using technologies including Electron, React, and NodeJS, Newicon developed a future-proofed, cross-platform desktop application. This solution streamlined the hardware requirements, eliminating the need for dedicated webcasting equipment and media storage boxes. The successfully deployed software has been rolled out to over 40 UK crematoria, solidifying Wesley Media's market leadership and opening new opportunities in other ceremony markets. Newicon has continued to add features seamlessly to the platform.
