OneCinema GmbH, a trusted software partner for over 500 cinemas across 13 countries in Europe and North America, has successfully deployed its Theater Management System (TMS) at Filmhuis Alkmaar, an independent arthouse cinema in Alkmaar, Netherlands, with OneCinema Signage set for installation later this year.
With three screens centred around a vibrant, atmospheric lobby, Filmhuis Alkmaar will unify its theater and lobby operations under one intuitive platform. Automating content scheduling across all screens and digital signage allows the venue to optimise workflows, eliminate manual steps, and streamline daily management.
“As an independent three-screen venue, our team wears many hats, so having intuitive, adaptable software is essential for our day-to-day operations”, explained Sander Bergenhenegouwen, Head of Cinema Technology at Filmhuis Alkmaar. “Partnering with OneCinema means we spend less time managing technical workflows and more time delivering a cultural experience for our audience.”
The OneCinema TMS extends far beyond traditional market capabilities, delivering an exceptionally flexible, modular platform that automates content, KDMs, pre-show, and playlist management from a single point of control. Designed to adapt to the distinct workflows of independent venues, it seamlessly pairs impression-based target trailering with resilient architecture, giving arthouse operators uncompromised control and reliability.
Meanwhile, OneCinema Signage, a fully cloud-native solution engineered for maximum agility, operates directly from the cloud to every display without requiring local servers. The platform connects seamlessly to OneCinema players and runs natively on Samsung Smart Signage and LG webOS professional displays, allowing cultural hubs to maintain dynamic, visual spaces with minimal hardware overhead.
Joachim Schmitt, CEO of OneCinema, added, “Independent and arthouse cinemas like Filmhuis Alkmaar are the cultural heartbeat of the exhibition industry. Our vision has always been to build software that scales effortlessly, whether you operate fifty screens or three. Filmhuis Alkmaar is a fantastic example of how a vibrant, independent venue can leverage our TMS and Signage solutions to streamline site management and empower their team.”
