Currently operating 9 venues across 7 countries, CanalOlympia is
the leading network of cinema and live performance venues in
Africa. Several additional sites are set to open in the months to
come, extending the breadth of the CanalOlympia footprint. The
CanalOlympia operation showcases the diversity of African culture
and has helped bring cinemas back to countries currently short on
entertainment choices and cultural infrastructure.
The venues include the latest projection and sound technologies.
They produce their own electricity via installed solar panels – an
example of the CanalOlympia approach to growing its offer in
sometimes challenging areas. To help them manage their circuit
venues spanning different markets, CanalOlympia required a
management solution that their local staff could easily use but one
that would also leverage the synergies of their sites operations
and enable central reporting.
“The decision to choose Veezi was made to take advantage of a
system that focuses on cinema ticketing,” said Barbara Weill Head
of Programming and Communication, CanalOlympia. “Using Veezi will
allow CanalOlympia to manage the sites homogenously and save a lot
of time every week. The solution is a great choice for our
operations and we’re very excited about it. The fact that Veezi is
engineered by and supported by Vista Cinema – the most experienced
cinema management software provider – is an additional bonus.”
“The CanalOlympia operation is a fantastic project for Veezi to
be part of. Clients that push the innovation front as CanalOlympia
clearly does, provide us with equal opportunity to innovate and
push Veezi functionality to new heights. We’re delighted to further
extend our part in supporting Africa’s cinema industry by
partnering with this very special company,” said Mischa Kay,
Managing Director, Vista Cinema, for EMEA.
CanalOlympia have also partnered with Orange to promote the
Cineday two-for-one SMS voucher program and Orange Money, their
mobile payment solution, both of which will benefit from a Veezi
integration. Later this year, CanalOlympia will integrate Orange
Money payments with Veezi’s internet ticketing solution, to allow
customers to purchase tickets from the CanalOlympia website.
The CanalOlympia/Veezi roll-out will commence in October 2018
and conclude in February 2019 when the Circuit’s new sites are
commissioned.
