Los Angeles, CA – April 18, 2022: Prime Focus Technologies (PFT), today announced that it would showcase its next-generation AI-led supply chain automation solutions at NAB 2022.

“Our customers are incredibly busy solving for their supply chain demands, driven by need for velocity in an changing landscape of ever increasing volume and variability”. coordinating amongst multiple vendors globally to meet the launch windows and staying in control has been challenging”, said Ramki Sankaranarayanan, Founder & Global CEO, PFT. “CLEAR has been instrumental in helping our clients manage their supply chain on the cloud, and we are excited to showcase CLEAR turbo charged with AI at NAB 2022.”

'Take control' with CLEAR® - avoid bottlenecks that hold launch windows to ransom.

There is a massive increase in the number of originals across streaming platforms & studios. Putting out content has its challenges. And as the content goes to support global audiences, there is a need to commission multiple downstream activities across locations, raising supply chain complexities further. And to do it all at speed while the launch window appears to be permanently shrinking requires management of concurrency within the downstream supply chain to meet launch dates. While some prefer for one vendor to manage it all, yet are not always satisfied with such dependency or results. It is time to take control of your supply chain and manage a multi-vendor global operation through software.
