Santikos Theatres implements new offering across all sites, using
real-time access to automated analytics to make better operational
decisions
DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 19, 2011--
NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR) today announced the launch of Reel
Time™, a new dashboard and custom reporting solution that takes the
complexity out of analyzing data and intuitively gives theatre operators
the information needed to make operational decisions. Operators can use
this solution in a wide variety of ways, including monitoring concession
or snack bar sales to quickly evaluate the impact of promotions, new
products or price changes and adjusting staffing levels at any time
based on site performance.
Integrated with Radiant theatre applications, Reel Time provides theatre
operators with a real-time dashboard view of current and historical data
for ticket and concession sales, attendance, feature gross and total
revenue. Data can be viewed centrally or separated by region, district
and site. Compatible with Windows, iOS and Android operating systems,
Reel Time can be installed on mobile devices, tablets and PC computers
for use in any environment.
“Theatre operators need to have direct insight into their business to
make important operational decisions at the moment of truth,” said Brian
Whitney, general manager, NCR Hospitality and Specialty Retail. “As an
example, operators can sell more tickets by having immediate insight
into when an auditorium is approaching capacity to negotiate with a
studio to add show times.”
Santikos Theatres, whose founder was a pioneer in the Texas motion
picture industry, implemented the Reel Time solution across all of its
sites in October 2011.
“The best part of this solution is the flexibility and simplicity of
setting up reports however we want them,” said Arthur Seago, director of
technology and assets, Santikos Theatres. “Having access to actionable
data at any time also gives us the freedom to make practical decisions
no matter where we are.”
NCR acquired Radiant Systems, Inc. in August 2011, positioning the
company as the leader in hospitality and specialty retail with more than
100,000 installations worldwide. Customers include leading brands and
venues in the restaurant and food service, sports and entertainment,
petroleum and convenience and specialty retail markets.
