Sonos has announced Sonos Pro, a new software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering that makes it easy to bring great sound to businesses with remote monitoring, commercially licensed music, personalised support and more.

This subscription-based offering includes a simple dashboard to remotely manage a system across multiple locations and the service works seamlessly with a business’s existing Sonos hardware to fill any space with immersive sound. Sonos Pro is available in the United States starting today, with additional markets to follow.

“As consumers return to brick-and-mortar, retail stores and restaurants are leveraging music, visuals and scents to create a sensory in-store experience that builds an emotional connection with customers,” Sonos chief executive Patrick Spence says.

“We’ve seen incredible organic growth for Sonos in commercial spaces as businesses invest in sound solutions to engage customers, which presents a huge opportunity for us. After testing different features in hundreds of business locations to better understand the needs of businesses and the complexities of commercial audio, we’re proud to deliver a simple solution that was designed from the ground up to meet the needs of this audience.”

Typical audio solutions for businesses require a complex set of products and tools, but now businesses can streamline their sound with Sonos Pro.

“Music is the foundation for creating ambience and keeping customers coming back for more,” Sonos Professional vice president and general manager Audra Kinsley says.

“Sonos Pro was designed to make it easy for brands to reinforce their vision and lifestyle through sound, with tools to curate content and create distinct sound experiences that resonate with customers.”
