Top 5 Time-Saving Tips

For efficient cinema management

Hello friends,

How’s it going? Busy, right? You know it! I’m busy, you’re busy, that shirt your grandma bought for your last birthday is definitely busy. The world just seems to keep getting busier and busier! But Veezi is taking a stand and doing all we can to free up your time by taking a number of day-to-day tasks off your hands.

So, without further ado, here are Veezi’s official Top Ten (divided by two) Time Saving Tips! That’s five… five time saving tips:

  1. Kick manual reporting to the curb

Distributors! Am I riiiiiight?! Preach sister! Distributors are a major part of the industry but, love ‘em as we do, they sure do want a lot of reports. With Veezi’s scheduled reporting you need never send a box office report manually again. You can set up daily, weekly, and mid-week reports to send directly to your distributors’ inboxes. Break the reports down by day, session, even ticket type! Whatever floats your boat. Getting the reports set up is a one-off job and once it’s done— that’s it! You can sit back and relax, certain in the knowledge that your box office figures will be sitting pretty in distributor inboxes each morning.

  1. Take the bore out of eBOR

Along with reporting figures directly to distributors, Veezi can also take care of feeding your box office data to Numero and Maccs, and all with a super simple one-button click. Enable the Numero and Maccs electronic feeds from your Veezi back office and then… well, then nothing, really. We’ll take care of connecting your account to the Numero and Maccs systems and your box office figures will just go.

  1. Say good-bye to film curation with MX Film

Films, films, films! So many films! So many posters, trailer links, run times, and rating certs. So many slightly dodgy websites visited, with so many pop-up ads, just to find the film info you need. “No more,” we say, “no more!” Your Veezi subscription gives you access to a pre-loaded master list of films, sourced from movieXchange’s MX Film— the database for studio-official movie media. Import films into your Veezi account fully formed—posters posted, run times running, and rating certs certified. And any missing (or updated) data will be pushed down into your account automatically when it’s available.

  1. Look mum, no hands TMS integration!

No one likes double handling. Not only does it waste your time, it increases the chances of making a mistake. So why not just enter your film schedule into Veezi and have it transfer straight into your TMS? Why not indeed! Can’t think of a reason? Well nor could we, so we developed our nifty TMS integration tool to grab your sessions from Veezi and pop them down nice and safe in your TMS. Finally! No more of those unfortunate incidents where a theatre full of nice children waiting for Frozen 2 accidentally get shown Friday the 13th. Yeesh… awkward.

  1. Take a hands-off approach to getting your showtimes online

Speaking of double handling, if you’re still manually updating your website, have I got a deal for you! Your website can be set up to automatically pull your showtimes through from Veezi—including attributes like selling fast or sold out to improve your moviegoers’ online experience. Ask us about sharing our API with your web developer and kiss goodbye to manually loading showtimes onto your website.

And that’s all folks. Very busy, must run. Of course, I’ve always got time for a chat with you. If you’ve got any questions about how Veezi can make your life easier, hit me up!
