Andrita Media Center, an independent HD digital media facility on the West Coast, has adopted the ScheduALL Enterprise Resource Management system. At Andrita, ScheduALL provides the end-to-end solution for booking and managing all facilities, resources and personnel. The system seamlessly creates client invoices from this information.
Based in Los Angeles, Andrita is a 106,000sq-ft, state-of-the-art HD facility fully equipped to provide a one-stop-shop for production professionals. The campus includes three television production stages; two HD/SD production control rooms; a radio studio; and office, dressing, editing and support facilities. Prior to installing the Enterprise Resource Management system, Andrita relied on a combination of basic desktop applications to schedule and manage the facility. The invoicing, accounts receivable and client data also were handled with separate systems.
ScheduALL captures and tracks necessary data such as billable hours spent in a given facility. At every stage in the project, Andrita personnel can access the central view of all key project information to make decisions based on real-time data for bookings, hours spent and costs incurred to date. Recently, the facility extended its current ScheduALL system to include the Media Manager module, which will allow Andrita to organize, store and track its media assets as they move through the workflow. Fully integrated with ScheduALL, Media Manager seamlessly manages work orders, trafficking, shipping and duplication areas of the system.
