Revolutionizing Film Festival Management with Zoho CRM

Managing an event like a film festival is no simple feat. The coordination of different departments, sponsors, volunteers, and stakeholders requires a smooth-running operational system. This was a challenge the Napa Valley Film Festival faced when they initially managed their event without a CRM application, relying instead on spreadsheets, Google Docs, and DropBox that unfortunately led to confusion and an excessive workload.

Realizing this method was far from efficient, the festival's team made a strategic decision to integrate their operations onto a robust platform like Zoho. They understood the need for a system that could coordinate the extensive network including development, marketing, venues, wineries, operations, and more.

Customizing CRM to Fit Festival Needs

Every festival is unique, and for the Napa Valley Film Festival, the customization capabilities of Zoho Creator were highly appealing. Zoho Creator enabled the Administrative Director, Carrie Markham, and Director of Operations, Ben Mahoney, to craft an application that perfectly integrated with their existing processes, eliminating redundant tasks and the need for data reentry.

Attendees and volunteers alike could expect a seamless synergy between different festival facets, as the custom-built applications and forms allow every department to sync up efficiently.

By implementing Zoho, the festival aims to not just enhance internal coordination, but also provide an enriched experience to filmmakers, sponsors, and festival-goers. The assurance that each aspect is tailored to the festival's distinctive environment guarantees a smoother, more organized event – one that thrives on productivity and focused management.
