Representing 464 screens over 70 sites in ROI and a further 194 screens over 26 sites in NI they account for 100% of the box-office admissions across the two territories. Unique Digital Ltd, the Dublin based software development company will supply their latest version of Advertising Accord and will manage the complete integration process. 
 
Advertising Accord provides all the tools necessary to manage clients, campaigns and schedules.

CSA will now be able to offer a range of new sales packages, and the system will also mean a great deal less work in the projection booth for the preparation of film schedules and managing the pre-show content”.
