TweetOut is controlled and content managed using a web-based interface called Flow.

Flow is a content management solution for broadcast and electronic signage installations and is designed to simplify content management and editorial production with Bannister Lake products. Built with the feedback of editorial staff and production managers, Flow makes entering and managing your on-air content easier than ever.

Administrators with user management tools, audit log access, content rundown previews, and configuration of system-wide preferences.
