COMPESO Solutions Multi-Site Management
For cinema chains and several cinema sites

Multi-Site Management

All sites. One head office. No duplicated effort.

So your team keeps the whole cinema chain in view: maintain master data centrally, evaluate revenue by site and steer access permissions precisely.

That takes pressure off your teams day to day and lets you focus more on the magic in the auditorium and on your guests.

For head office, site management and teams in day-to-day cinema work.
Multi-site management from COMPESO for cinema chains and several sites.

Maintain master data centrally

Create films, distributors and items once and transfer them to sites as needed.

Consolidate reports

Evaluate revenue and end-of-day closings for individual venues, site groups or the entire chain.

Steer permissions precisely

Limit access per user to individual sites or site groups.
The starting point

When every site works on its own,
unnecessary effort builds up

For cinema chains, managing several sites often involves a great deal of effort. Film master data, price tables and items are maintained at individual sites. That frequently creates extra coordination by phone, email or spreadsheet.

Reports and end-of-day closings do not always reach head office in time either. When a cinema site does not transfer its end-of-day closing, the overview is missing exactly when your team wants to make well-founded decisions.

Product overview

One central working environment for your cinema chain

From there, master data is distributed, reports are consolidated and access permissions are steered per site. That way your head office can work with complete data, while the individual sites work with the information and functions relevant to their operation.

That reduces effort in the teams and means central decisions can be made on a shared data basis.

Maintain master data once

Manage films, distributors and items centrally

Master data is maintained at head office and transferred to the sites as needed. What is stored centrally arrives automatically at the sites, without manual reconciliation between venues.

That means film titles, distributors and items do not have to be created separately at every cinema site. At the same time, site-specific settings remain possible.

2Revenue & reports

Revenue and reports from all cinemas

Reporting for individual sites or the entire chain

Revenue and end-of-day closings flow from the sites into head office. From there, reports can be created flexibly: for a single venue, a fixed site group or the entire cinema chain.

That means your team does not have to wait for figures from individual venues to be gathered manually. Head office can work directly with the consolidated data.

3Permission management

Precise access control

Head office with the full overview. Site teams with a clear focus.

Permissions in the system follow the actual structure of your cinema chain.

Staff at head office can view all sites. Venue managers on site look at their own site. The access rights of individual staff are steered in the permission management.

That keeps the overview where it is needed. At the same time, central master data is protected against accidental changes at the sites.

4End-of-day closing & transfer check

End-of-day closings in view

Check first, then report

When reporting is based on incomplete data, the result is wrong figures and wrong decisions. The transfer check shows daily which data is arriving from the sites and whether the figures are consistent. That way your team sees early where something is still missing or where deviations need checking.
5Weekly programme & inventory management

Steer the weekly programme and inventory management centrally

The weekly programme and inventory management as part of one system

The weekly programme and the product range do not have to be entered separately at every cinema site.

Anyone running consistent ranges or coordinated programmes across several sites can maintain them centrally and pass them on to the sites. Site-specific adjustments remain possible nonetheless.

The benefits

What does our site management offer?

Exactly as much data transfer as needed

Which data flows between head office and the sites can be configured. Site databases stay lean. Technical responsibility sits with head office and not with each site individually.

Consistent and still individual

Price tables, seating plans and programmes can be managed centrally. At the same time, sites can bring in the individual factors of their own cinema.

Permissions that match the structure

Head office, site management or the team at the till: the permission structure follows the actual roles in your company, not a simple user level.

From the cinema world, for the cinema world

Our multi-site management was developed for operations with a head office and several venues. It is continuously developed further with feedback from our customers and ideas from our team.
Getting started

From the demo to go-live — step by step

1

First conversation & requirements

We get to know your chain structure: sites, data routes and roles at head office. That makes it clear how your venues are organised and which requirements your multi-site management should reflect.
2

Test system & learning by doing

We give your team a test system and you map your structure within it. That way you do not just work with an explanation, but directly with your own structure.
3

Configuring the central structure

Sites, users, permission groups, master data structure and transfer rules are defined together. That sets out which data is maintained centrally, which data flows to the sites and which permissions each role receives.
4

Data migration & test runs

Existing master data is migrated. The transfer routes between head office and the sites are tested. That includes the transfer check and the end-of-day closing.
5

Training by role and group

Central teams and site managers are trained separately per group and role within the company. That way each team is shown exactly the areas it needs day to day.
6

Go-live & support

Depending on what is simpler for your structure, you start site by site or all together.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions about multi-site management

Multi-site management is the central tool with which you steer several cinema sites from one head office. Master data, reports, end-of-day closings, permissions, the weekly programme and inventory management all come together there — without having to track every site individually.

Films, distributors and items are created once at head office and transferred to the sites as needed. Site-specific seating plans, price tables and weekly programmes remain individually controllable — so head office works consistently while each cinema keeps its own factors.

Permissions follow the actual structure of your cinema chain. Access can be limited per user to individual sites or site groups — per area for viewing, editing, creating and deleting. That way head office sees everything, venue managers see their site, and central master data is protected against accidental changes.

Revenue and end-of-day closings flow from the sites into head office. There you create reports for a single venue, a site group or the entire chain, set up report packages in a queue and use the transfer check to review deviations between ticket revenue, posting accounts and performance settlement daily.

In six steps: first conversation and requirements, a test system for mapping your structure, configuration of sites, users and permission groups, data migration with test runs, training separated by role and group, and go-live — site by site or for all venues together.
