The EVO Entertainment Group is installing GDC Technology’s cinema enterprise software, including the TMS theatre management system, CMS central management enterprise software and network operation center.
The five-year agreement will ensure a fully automated workflow while reducing costs associated with booth operations and includes installing TMS-2000 at all EVO Entertainment Group’s current and future sites across their family of brands, which includes EVO Entertainment, EVO Cinemas, Times Square Grand Slam and ShowBiz Cinemas. The CMS-3000 web-based Central Management Enterprise Software will be installed at EVO’s Data Center in Plano, Texas. The Network Operations Center software will be deployed at the end of the year.
“Our enterprise software was developed from our over 20-year knowledge of digital cinema and constant working with our industry partners, such as EVO Entertainment," said Annie Wang, president of GDC Technology USA. “The deployment of our entire suite will provide them with technology ahead of its time, solving operational issues with automation designed for today's and tomorrow’s digital cinema world.”
The Austin-based EVO Entertainment Group was founded in 2014 by CEO Mitch Roberts with the vision of reinventing and enhancing the moviegoing experience and has since evolved into creating differentiated entertainment destinations and experiences that encompass movie theatres, bowling, high-tech arcades, dining, and unique attractions.
“EVO is committed to providing our guests with an elevated entertainment experience,” said Darren Little, director of presentation at EVO Entertainment Group. “We rely on our vendor partners, such as GDC to provide innovative technologies to deliver differentiated entertainment experiences in the communities we serve. GDC’s enterprise software was selected for its user-friendly user interface and US-based support team’s reputation for providing outstanding technical and customer services, along with the ease of operation and labor savings.”
