Filmgrail + Savoy Systems

Savoy Systems' Oscar covers ticketing, retail, memberships and stock across sites, which is why it turns up so often in UK independents, arthouses and mixed arts venues. Those venues also tend to have the most interesting programmes and the worst websites, because the programme is complex and a generic booking page cannot express it.

Filmgrail reads your programme, sessions, seating and pricing from Oscar and builds the surface properly: film pages with trailers and context, seasons and strands, memberships surfaced where they matter, native apps, and a checkout that copes with a venue running cinema, live events and a bar on the same night.

Admissions, retail and stock, memberships, multi-site controls and the reporting Oscar is bought for. Filmgrail writes the online sale back and leaves the rest alone.

First we look at what your deployment exposes. That is a short technical conversation, not a discovery workshop, and it ends with a straight answer about whether the integration is a week of work or a quarter of it.

Then the build: your branding, your content model, your seat maps, your ticket types, your checkout rules. You review it on a staging site against your real programme, not a demo dataset.

Then launch, with your old URLs redirected rather than dropped so the search visibility you have built comes with you. Apps follow the site, usually a few weeks behind, because the CMS and the content are shared and there is no point shipping an empty app.

Nothing in that sequence requires you to touch the box office, which is why the risk of trying it is so much lower than it feels.
