Cinemark Theatres Selects Envysion as Managed Video Surveillance Provider

LOUISVILLE, Colo., March 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Envysion®, Inc., (www.envysion.com) the leading Managed Video as a Service (MVaaS) provider, today announced that Cinemark USA, Inc. has selected Envysion as its managed video surveillance provider and is deploying Envysion Insight in select theatres across the U.S. Cinemark, a leader in the motion picture exhibition industry with 430 theatres and 4,945 screens in the U.S. and Latin America, will use Envysion's MVaaS solution to improve operations and the customer experience, lower concession costs and increase overall theater profitability.

By leveraging Envysion's point of sale (POS) integrated managed video, Cinemark's general managers and loss prevention team were able to ensure a more accurate mix of their higher priced tickets, reduce refunds and discounts and increase concession gross profits. During the pilot the Cinemark team identified opportunities to tighten procedures, improve operational practices and better understand what is really happening in their theatres, all of which had a favorable impact on Cinemark's bottom line. By making these improvements Cinemark saw average cash increases in the thousands of dollars per month per theatre. Going forward, Cinemark will use Envysion Insight to ensure process adherence and consistent brand execution and to gain an unfiltered view into customer experience.

Envysion Insight goes beyond traditional security and loss prevention applications by combining video with business intelligence. In addition to standard video surveillance capabilities that provide increased security and reduced loss from theft and unfounded liability claims, Envysion Insight automatically tracks and sends alerts on potentially fraudulent transactions such as discounted tickets, voided concession sales and refunds. Combining instant access to important video with Envysion's intuitive user interface enables video to be leveraged across the organization, giving employees in loss prevention, operations, marketing, risk management and human resources an objective view into their business.

"We're excited to provide Cinemark with a solution that will have a continued impact on their operations," says Matt Steinfort, president and CEO. "Partnering with one of the largest and most respected cinema operators is further evidence of the broad appeal and growing acceptance of Envysion's MVaaS solution across a widening range of industry segments. It also further validates Envysion's core belief – that putting meaningful video into the hands of those closest to the business will drive material bottom line results."
