Birmingham Hippodrome & Comtrex Systems – A Great Opening Night !!
Birmingham, 1st November, 2004. The Birmingham Hippodrome, following an extensive £35 million redevelopment, now ranks as one of the finest theatre complexes in the world, with an 1847 seat auditorium and the largest stage in the UK outside London. The front of house areas now encompass large spacious foyers, including a 120 cover restaurant and 3 bars, new hospitality and meeting rooms, as well as the Patrick Centre, a 207 seat studio theatre.
Hippodrome’s future will be built on its proud traditions stretching back over 100 years, but will encompass new ambitions as an international venue rooted in its local community.
The Comtrex installation includes complete back-of-house control with both Odyssey and Enterprise Manager for multi-revenue centre product and stock management, enabling the Hippodrome to control every aspect of its operation. Web based reporting is also provided, giving the management team instant access to information anywhere in the world via the internet. The front-of-house provides operators with speedy entry on colour touch screens, including both full-screen fixed stations and wireless Handheld units used to "by-pass" the queue when placing orders for the intermission. The overall system provides Hippodrome with the most complete system anywhere in the UK!
Mr. Mike Bradford, Hippodrome’s Head of Technical services, led the panel in their choice of systems.
"It became a very simple choice for us to make. From the outset, Comtrex Systems listened to our plans and ideas, then built and developed a complete system around our needs. Our operation is fast and furious. We needed a system with reliability and flexibility, but even more importantly, one with a strong support and service network behind it. With Comtrex, every tick box was checked! We have a great relationship and every member of our staff is totally confident in the use of the system."
We are very proud to be associated with The Birmingham Hippodrome. The depth of knowledge, product, service and expertise used in this venture separates Comtrex from any other point of sale provider.
