Non Theatrical - Ancillary

On Line sales: iMACCS
iMACCS, the brand new On Line functionality provides full self-services for sales, invoicing and cash for PVSL (public video screening licensing) and STSL (single title screening licensing) and as well licensing for buses & coaches and so called DVD concierge (for boutique and smaller hotels).
The licensees can request accounts, create bookings, order licenses, submit box office returns if any, make payments (by credit card and Paypal), view and print invoices, view related reports, et cetera without any assistance from the licensor. Now MACCS also features promotions and discounts available in order to promote the use of the self-services.
