Optimization of cinema programming

Context

Each week, movie theater operators must create their programming schedule: they must decide which films will be shown in which theaters and at which times.

This problem implies taking into account many factors, among which the constraints imposed by the film distributors, the typology of the films, and their duration.

Projectiv has been developed to solve this problem in a few clicks: an algorithm builds the optimal programming schedule, which maximizes the cinema's turnover thanks to attendance forecasts.

Objectives

  • Create an analytical dashboard allowing the operator to quickly consult key figures
  • Provide an easy-to-use programming tool
  • Develop an optimization algorithm adapted to the challenges of the business

Results

Projectiv has been deployed in several dozens of cinemas, which use it every week. The application was then bought by a large group of the sector, Ymagis.

"Le XML fonctionne parfaitement et permet donc de remonter la programmation dans le TMS Ciné Digital Manager sans passer par TixOS. C'est parfait ! Merci beaucoup pour votre efficacité !"
