Step 1: Constantly gathering information

The Kinesis Interactive Cinema System is a combination of many different software applications and data services programmed from the ground up to tackle the requirements of a modern cinema.

KICS constantly gathers together all of the information related to your cinema, processes this information then presents it to your customers in many different forms.

How do we gather the data we need?

Kinesis staff regularly gather media resources from local and international film distributors and continually update our movie library with the latest movie information, including posters, photos and trailers. This movie information, in conjunction with your session time and other information, is used to intelligently present the most relevant information to your customers at all times.

KICS connects into your cinema point of sale system to gather session time data. In most cases, this process is automatic (it depends on your point of sale software). Our software integrates with Venue Master, Vista, Haxlen, Showcase and others.

The KICS Content Management Systems (CMS) makes it easy for you to enter additional information that may be required from time to time. For example, you may wish to promote an upcoming special event or provide a discount offer for your members.

Step 2: Share, Share, Share!

After storing all of your information in our database, we process and share this information in many ways:

Your KICS web site contains all of the information of your cinema in a beautiful and modern design. Using all the information above your web site automatically sorts movies into Now Showing or Coming Soon lists, presents special events and updates your session time listings.

This same information is used to populate the touch-friendly and quick loading mobile site for anyone using any brand of smartphone.

KICS also shares this information with Facebook and Twitter. Your weekly session times are posted automatically to your Facebook Page each week, with regular posts sent out throughout the week. Don't worry - these posts are under your control at all times.

Native iPhone and Android apps provided by Kinesis use this information to present a smooth and information-rich user experience on modern phones.

Regular email newsletters are constructed and sent automatically with all the latest session times and movie information. All you need to do is write a subject and introduction and you're done!

Third parties can also access your session time information directly from our XML webservices. Current users include HWW (Australia's leading syndicator of movie session times) and ICAA's MyCinema iPhone app.
