In April 2008, C31 Melbourne went live with Kiandra’s custom built television station management system - Flexivision.

C31 needed a television management software solution that would not cost the earth, but would deliver much greater efficiencies – enabling them to utilise current resources in different areas, and save on additional staff.

From a process of ‘manual’ and cumbersome Excel spreadsheet-based working, C31 have moved a much more automated system with Flexivision which has freed up valuable staff resources.

Flexivision has been designed from the ground up to give television networks a powerful, modern and scalable solution for station scheduling management.  Flexivision is not just an ‘off-the-shelf’ product, but a solution tailored to the unique operating environment of each clients’ structure and communicating systems and equipment.
