The challenge
Before using Grenadine, Telefilm needed to create forms to allow film producers to submit their films for different festivals such as the Cannes Film Festival. They needed an easier and more flexible way to create forms that gave them customization options to better suit their needs.
Approach
- Specificity of the surveys: Telefilm can now do more than they were previously capable of with the usage of Grenadine surveys. They can customize surveys as needed to get as much information as possible from their client when submitting a film. The surveys are easy to build and allow them to get more specific information.
- Multiple software is not a limitation anymore: Telefilm would use different types of software to suit their needs for features like submissions, ticketing, website, surveys, documents, etc. Grenadine gave them the possibility of using one, all-inclusive software which allows them to do everything they need or will possibly need in the future.
Results
- All-in-one Software: Telefilm was at first using Grenadine for the purpose of creating surveys and calls for submissions. While using Grenadine, they discovered the software offered value in other features and ended up using more features than initially expected, such as Grenadine ticketing features for some events.
- Keep track of their data through reports, documents and URL: By using Grenadine reports, Telefilm can easily see what is submitted and keep track of the submission process followed by their clients. In allowing their clients and themselves to upload documents and add URLs to collect videos and photos, they can now easily track what is submitted and what is downloaded. It’s easier for them to collect documents in this way which also helps facilitate hand-offs of projects from one coordinator to another because all of the data is there.
