I am working on a sign that will have multiple business names. Customer would like to be able to slide signs in and out when tenants change. Planning on using Dibond for backing. What do you guys recommend for a tracking?

How often will they be changing tenants? Realistically, this should be done as a can with retainers for each face. What is the size of the sign? Interior or exterior? Doing it the way you are describing means that it is literally as easy as sliding out the tenant name to remove it. That means ANYONE within reach of the sign could steal/destroy/remove the name plates....
 
there are multiple premade systems available for this type of sign..we need more details, size, indoor/outdoor, illuminated/non illuminated, etc.

i personally have made many of these for both interior/exterior, illuminated/non illuminated, premade/custom.

you can use acrylic track, aluminum extrusion, even wood moulding from home depot..just depends on what is to be constructed.

You can make a sign with a paper or lexan slider.

You paint a header and footer second surface on the face panel, then you have VHB tape and adhere the panel to a backer. The void the VHB tape makes can easily house a paper or lexan sign.

If the tenant changes, you use a post it note to pull the slider out.

Another way is glass or acrylic panels with second surface vinyl, then mounted to a backer with tamper proof nuts (or not). When the tenant changes, you remove name, cut and install new one.

You can get pretty creative with these, and keep them really simple at the same time.
