PFT Showcases Dynamic Priority-Led Multi-Vendor Supply Chain Automation on Cloud at IBC 2022
Provides title-based management and visibility of content supply chain to orchestrate workflows across multiple suppliers and vendors.
Los Angeles, CA – August 16, 2022: Prime Focus Technologies (PFT), announced that it would showcase one-of-its-kind software, CLEAR® Multi-Vendor Supply Chain Automation at IBC 2022. With the massive increase in the number of originals, the supply chain challenges across theatrical, home entertainment, and streaming businesses have multiplied. As a result, coordination across vendors globally to meet the launch windows and be in control has been challenging. While the launch window appears to be permanently shrinking, there is a need to execute multiple downstream activities across locations performed at speed across multiple vendors, with mutual dependence. Any delays or priority changes add additional complexity to cascade these changes through the supply chain. It is time to take control of the supply chain and manage this global multi-vendor supply chain challenge through automation.
"Automation is instrumental to Multi-vendor Supply Chain because handling the volume of content and the number of tasks across suppliers are far too many and not manually possible," said Nick Kaimakami, Executive Vice President & Sales Head – EMEA & USA East, PFT. "The level of automation PFT has brought to Channel 4 epitomizes what’s possible in building modern content supply chains”.
