Leading cinema software company Arts Alliance Media (AAM) have
announced a deal with China’s Jackie Chan Cinema chain to deploy AAM’s
Screenwriter Theatre Management System across more than 200 screens. The deal
was concluded in conjunction with Beijing CServ, a professional IT and cinema TMS provider
and one of AAM’s Chinese reseller partners.
Jackie Chan Cinema is one of China’s fastest
growing cinema chains. Founded by the Hong Kong martial arts actor and director
Jackie Chan along with the Sparkle Roll Group Limited, one of China’s largest
luxury product retailers, the chain currently has 213 screens across the
country.
Screenwriter, the world’s most popular
Theatre Management System (TMS) is installed on more than 25,000 cinema screens
around the world, and manages all screens, content and playlists in a site.
Users can see exactly what’s happening on all screens in real time from one
interface, and even from a mobile device. Screenwriter automates many
time-consuming and error-prone processes, saving time and reducing the
possibility of mistakes leading to missed shows. Playlists can be built, moved
or repeated at the touch of a button, with content transferred automatically
and schedules synchronised with the cinema’s POS system. Screenwriter also proactively
alerts users to any upcoming problems, such as missing content or KDMs, in time
to fix them and avoid losing shows.
“We
are very pleased to announce this deal to install AAM’s Screenwriter Theatre
Management System on all our screens” the Chief Technology Officer of Jackie Chan Cinema
said. “We are looking forward to this partnership and cooperation with AAM and
CServ enhancing our operations and making customer satisfaction in our cinemas
even better.”
Eric Stevens,
Commercial Director of Arts Alliance Media added,
“Jackie Chan Cinemas are a really pioneering group and so we’re very happy to
be announcing this partnership with them. Screenwriter, with its automation
capabilities and new features such as a mobile app, will help Jackie Chan monitor
and manage everything that’s happening on their screens while saving time that
can be spent on improving the customer experience even further.”
AAM will work with CServ in China to manage
the deployment of the software to Jackie Chan screens, upgrading each screen
from its existing TMS to Screenwriter.
