Real Results for Media Leaders
See how we've helped media companies like yours overcome their biggest challenges and achieve remarkable growth.
The Challenge: Taming Subscription Chaos
Digital Growth Publishing was struggling to manage its expanding subscriber base. Their homegrown system, combined with spreadsheets and separate payment gateways, led to billing errors, high involuntary churn, and no clear view of key metrics like MRR and LTV. They couldn't launch new pricing models or promotions efficiently.
Key Challenges:
- Inaccurate and time-consuming manual billing processes.
- High customer churn due to failed payments and poor dunning management.
- Inability to get a unified view of subscriber data and behavior.
- Difficulty launching and managing flexible subscription plans and bundles.
Our Solution: A Unified Subscription & Financial Hub
We implemented ArionERP's Subscription Billing and Financial Management modules. This provided a single, automated platform to handle the entire subscriber lifecycle.

The Challenge: Flying Blind on Project Profitability
Momentum Media was excellent at creative work but struggled with operations. They used separate tools for time tracking, project management, and accounting, making it impossible to get a real-time view of project budgets vs. actuals. They often didn't know if a project was profitable until weeks after it was completed, leading to significant revenue leakage.
Key Challenges:
- No real-time visibility into project costs and resource utilization.
- Inaccurate time tracking leading to billing disputes and lost revenue.
- Difficulty managing scope creep and its financial impact.
- Delayed and inaccurate client invoicing.
Our Solution: Integrated Project & Financial Control
We implemented ArionERP's Project Management and Financial modules, integrated with their Ad Sales CRM.

- Automated the invoicing process based on project milestones and time/materials logged.
The Challenge: Managing Complex Production Logistics
Starlight Productions was hampered by logistical inefficiencies. Scheduling crew and expensive equipment was done on spreadsheets, leading to double-bookings and costly downtime. Tracking production expenses from different locations was a manual, error-prone process, causing budget overruns and delayed financial reporting.
Key Challenges:
- Inefficient scheduling of crew, talent, and equipment.
- Lack of centralized control over multi-location production budgets.
- Delayed expense reporting from on-location teams.
- Poor visibility into overall resource utilization and project status.
Our Solution: A Centralized Production Operations Platform
We deployed ArionERP's Production Management, Procurement, and HR modules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We have answers. Here are some of the most common inquiries about our Media ERP.
While generic ERPs are powerful, they require extensive and expensive customization to handle the unique needs of the media industry. ArionERP is built from the ground up with media workflows in mind. We have out-of-the-box modules for ad sales, rights and royalty management, subscription billing, and content production—functionality you'd have to custom-build or buy expensive add-ons for with a generic system. This makes our solution faster to implement, more intuitive for your team, and ultimately provides a better ROI.
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your operations and the modules you choose. However, our phased approach is designed for speed to value. A standard implementation of core financial and project management modules can often be completed in 8-12 weeks. More complex projects involving multiple integrations and business units may take 4-6 months. We work with you to create a realistic timeline that minimizes disruption.
Absolutely. We understand that an ERP must be the central hub, not another silo. ArionERP is built on a modern, API-first architecture, allowing for seamless integration with a wide range of media-specific and general business applications, including ad servers (like Google Ad Manager), broadcast automation systems, marketing automation platforms, and more. We work with you to ensure a smooth flow of data across your entire tech stack.

Our partnership continues long after implementation. We offer tiered support packages, including access to our expert helpdesk via email and phone. We also provide a dedicated account manager who understands your business and can help you proactively optimize the system, learn about new features, and ensure you're getting the maximum value from your investment in ArionERP.
We offer transparent and flexible pricing to fit different needs and budgets. Our primary model is a SaaS subscription, typically priced on a per-user, per-month basis, billed annually. The price depends on the modules and the number of users you need. We also offer perpetual licenses for on-premises deployment. We work with you to find the most cost-effective plan for your specific requirements, without the hidden fees common with larger ERP vendors.
