NPO Pitch was a tool we built for NPO in 2018. It allowed broadcasters and producers to pitch ideas for new series and shows.
We have since been asked to expand the Pitch module into the MediaModule, which integrates pitching, extension, and administration of shows and series. Online, linear, and audio requests can all be managed in this NPO Workflow.
With the NPO Media Module, broadcasters and producers can pitch new series and extensions of series for upcoming seasons and manage them in one place. NPO can administer and facilitate this process in one location.
The MediaModule houses many functionalities to facilitate the workflow for all users.
NPO pitch is entirely built with open source software. A Django REST framework is the foundation, the frontend is built in React, and Redux is used. ElasticSearch is used for searching the database full of program proposals, and Kibana plays a role in reporting.
The NPO Pitch project is a great example of how parties can find each other. Without an extensive specification, NPO had a lot of confidence in the collaboration with GWW. This resulted in a custom project tailored exactly to NPO's needs.
