Save time and simplify your workflow with Vista Cloud's new film-hire integration with Esker, a third-party company which specialises in scanning and loading invoice data. Our new API means that Cinema staff no longer need to manually compare and enter distributor invoices into Vista. Instead, Esker automates this process so that staff only need to investigate invoicing discrepancies before they export invoicing data to a financial management system. Learn how to configure the film-hire integration API.
