NPO MediaModuleAdvanced Backoffice System for Media Management and Program Development
Finally a builder who understands our language and our complex media workflow perfectly translates it into an efficient digital system.- Luisa Damo (NPO)

The NPO MediaModule is an innovative backoffice system that revolutionizes the entire program development process. From the first pitch to the final production, this advanced platform provides a seamless workflow for all stakeholders in the media process.

The system originated from the successful NPO Pitch tool we developed in 2018 and has grown into a complete MediaModule that integrates pitching, extension, and administration of shows and series. The platform supports both online, linear, and audio requests, making it a central hub for all media-related workflows within NPO.

With the NPO Media Module, broadcasters and producers can not only pitch new series, but also request extensions for upcoming seasons and manage the entire process in one place. This ensures transparency, efficiency, and better collaboration between all parties.
