Progress – Restart – Innovation
with CineOrder.Core

Driven by the changes of recent years, the first cinemas are launching with the new software generation CineOrder. At the core of this new foundation is CineOrder.Core. With a strong focus on the evolving purchasing behavior of cinema guests, new standards have been set for the Point of Sale in the Webshop, App, and ATM. Intuitive, personalized, and intelligent, CineOrder.Webshop, CineOrder.App, and CineOrder.ATM deliver the perfect purchasing experience for cinema guests.

Today
Project 75!

The time and ideas invested in CineOrder.Webshop are bearing fruit. By integrating ticket and concession sales, we have been able to increase per capita concession revenue by up to 75% for our clients.

2024
The new way of development

Through our initial experiences with Cine.Order and the new generation of cinema professionals, we have discovered a new approach to development. In close collaboration with experts from the cinema industry, new features are developed using a "ping-pong" principle—implemented in practice, evaluated through immediate feedback, and then refined—launching the next cycle of development.

2024
The new generation
A new vision

A new generation of cinema professionals is taking on leadership roles in the industry. This transformation is becoming an integral part of our way of working. A young team of developers, project managers, and consultants with hands-on cinema experience is strengthening the COMPESO team and working on the next generation of cinema software.

This has led to the development of a new vision, where we create solutions that are aligned with the working methods of the new generation of cinema professionals and make our solutions accessible from anywhere.

2023
Year of Change

Technical innovations today shape the cinema market, which is evolving ever faster. For cinema operators, this means increasing investment needs. COMPESO employees provide comprehensive advice to cinemas on their marketing and ticketing strategies—even from home offices. New features from WINTICKET or for online ticketing are adapted to the needs of cinemas. Software development continues unabated even during the Corona period, working with distributed teams and decentralized structures. Self-service is emphasized in times of contact avoidance: with omnichannel self-service, cinema operators increase their sales in concession and gastronomy while relieving counter staff. Cinema visitors love the new service.

The European Approach

The owner-operated software company serves over 2,500 customers both domestically and abroad with its software solutions for cinema ticketing, concession sales, and gastronomy. More than 35 employees provide cinemas with full-service solutions from a single source: film scheduling and planning, ticket sales via box offices, kiosks, webshop, and app, as well as the management of inventory and billing.

First provider in accordance with the eTicket Directive

Robert Siersch, with his Aibvision Filmtheater in Bad Aibling, is the first certified cinema operator for the new eTicketing — naturally using COMPESO software. Shortly thereafter, UCI became the first cinema chain to switch to the new eTicketing-certified software WinTICKET 7 within four weeks.

German Market Leader
Almost all major cinema chains in Germany are now partners of COMPESO. The quality of the software, as well as system stability and speed, are just as important reasons for new partnerships as the flexibility and enthusiasm of the staff, who always find and implement the best solutions for partners—even for special requirements.

Breakthrough with WinTICKET

The first cinema point-of-sale system

A cinema chain in Munich wants to network its locations and make them more profitable. COMPESO develops a point-of-sale system for them. In the following years, this software is expanded, optimized, and adapted to the requirements of cinema operators. In the process of further development, the team from Ismaning always works closely with their customers.

The Beginnings
The success story of COMPESO begins in 1984 with the goal of developing simple and user-friendly software for financial accounting. Harald Paulus and his creative team launch WinKANZLEI, software designed for tax consultants and auditing firms. WinKANZLEI becomes a success, and the development of products precisely tailored to customers’ needs to make their work easier becomes the motivation for the software developers from Ismaning.
