We're Efficient IS — a Glasgow-based team that designs, procures, installs and supports the AV and IT infrastructure behind council chambers, courtrooms, classrooms, control rooms and boardrooms, for public sector and private organisations across Scotland and the wider UK.
From a single interactive screen to a full council chamber fit-out, an event that has to stream live, or a network and cloud project that needs an independent design — one team, one point of accountability.
Approved on the Scotland Excel AV framework for direct public sector procurement. A specialist AV delivery partner within existing Computacentre, Insight and CDW relationships. A Scotland delivery partner for other UK and international AV/IT businesses. However your organisation already buys, there's a route in that doesn't mean starting from scratch.
Every framework route into Efficient IS, mapped in one place.

And when the message has to be an evacuation or lockdown instruction instead of a lunch menu, the right network behind them means they can carry that too.
Wayfinding, reception and reminder boards, campus or multi-site networks, retail and hospitality promotion — specified so updating a screen is a two-minute job for whoever needs to do it, not a ticket to us.
If your premises falls under Martyn's Law, the screens already doing your everyday comms are exactly the infrastructure that needs to carry evacuation, invacuation and lockdown messaging too — worth specifying with both in mind from the start.
See Martyn's Law ReadinessThree of the four duties under Martyn's Law are communication problems — evacuation, invacuation and lockdown messaging all depend on the screens, speakers and network already in your building.
This is new legislation and every premises is different — we'd rather talk it through properly than point you at a self-serve tool as the first step. Tell us about your premises and we'll scope what's actually needed.
