Lights, Camera, Automation: How Cinespace Studios Streamlined AP for Global Growth

Cinespace Studios, a group of film studio facilities with a global presence and hubs in Chicago, Toronto, and Atlanta, supports major productions like Stranger Things, The Bear, Black Panther, John Wick, The Handmaid’s Tale and more. As the business rapidly expanded across North America and Europe, the finance team faced growing complexity—managing over 10,000 invoices annually, across multiple entities, with manual approvals, disjointed systems, and rising risk of bottlenecks. To modernize operations and support global scalability, Cinespace partnered with SignUp Software and Admiral Consulting Group to implement ExFlow AP, seamlessly embedded into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

By deploying ExFlow AP, Cinespace was able to centralize AP workflows, automate recurring invoice processing, and eliminate manual approvals, resulting in significant time savings, greater visibility, and enhanced fraud prevention. The team now benefits from streamlined exception handling, custom field support, and intuitive dashboards that span all entities—empowering finance leaders to shift from reactive processes to proactive financial control. The solution not only stabilized operations through a period of aggressive growth and acquisitions but also laid the groundwork for future innovation, including planned AI and machine learning integrations. Today, ExFlow plays a key role in helping elevate AP to a strategic function within Cinespace’s expanding global footprint.
