Program Overview

A seamless journey from online research to in-store exploration

Mercedes-Benz of Plano's EVolution remodel was part of a global initiative redefining what luxury automotive retail can be. Designed to bring the elegance, innovation, and sophistication of the Mercedes-Benz brand into every customer touchpoint, the new environment creates a seamless transition from online research to in-store exploration.

The vision centered on delivering a connected digital ecosystem capable of elevating vehicle storytelling, supporting personalized sales consultations, and creating meaningful customer engagement throughout the showroom. Every element was designed to reinforce the premium experience customers expect from Mercedes-Benz while providing the flexibility to showcase products, content, and brand moments in compelling new ways.

As a preferred partner for the Mercedes-Benz Digital Media Package, PTG was selected to deliver the technology infrastructure powering the dealership's next-generation retail experience. The solution includes signature LED video walls, digital signage, wireless presentation stations, immersive touchscreen displays, and a custom screen-control application that lets dealership teams manage content effortlessly across multiple environments.

Built on a foundation of BrightSign media players, Q-SYS control, Samsung commercial displays, wireless collaboration technology, and a dedicated AV network, the system creates a scalable platform that blends digital storytelling with personalized customer interactions.

The result is a showroom experience that feels unmistakably Mercedes-Benz: modern, immersive, and intentionally designed around the customer journey. By connecting architecture, technology, and brand storytelling, Mercedes-Benz of Plano delivers a retail experience that inspires confidence, drives engagement, and brings the future of luxury mobility to life.

The Challenge
