VERA
From internal tool to a product for the film industry.
We developed a contract platform for Constantin Film. It takes contracts for film and TV productions from drafting through negotiation and signature to filing.
Other production companies now use VERA as well. In total, around 90 subsidiaries are represented on the platform.
Starting point
Constantin Film’s subsidiaries negotiated their contracts by email on the basis of set templates. Decentralised handling led to information gaps. Later on, it was hard to find contracts again and to trace how they had come about.
Our contribution
Together with Sebastian Bergau, we built VERA as a central web app for contract work. Later, we extended the platform so that other production companies can manage their contracts in it too. We have been responsible for development and technical operation since 2017.
Result
Today, more than 10,000 contracts a year are signed through VERA. The people involved at Constantin Film estimate the savings at around one and a half hours of working time per contract.
“Quirin and his team really understood how we work. Together, we turned VERA from an internal tool into a platform that has made a name for itself in the industry and is now used by many other production companies in the DACH region. Working together has really paid off for us.”
