LIONSGATE the leading next generation studio, and Webalo, Inc. today announced an agreement that will enable the studio’s executives to be the first to receive smartphone access to up-to-the-minute figures about box office receipts and other performance data. This unique mobile access to time-critical performance metrics was accomplished in a nearly turn-key fashion by utilizing Santa Monica-based Webalo’s Mobile Dashboard Platform.
The Mobile Dashboard permits companies to constantly extract critical information from internal business reports, and distribute that data directly to the smartphones carried by their mobile workforce. Formatting of the data for easy reading is done automatically by Webalo’s platform, and the initial deployment of these reports can be done in-house in a few hours using a simple Web browser interface.
When obtaining data via their mobile device, Lionsgate executives will receive real-time box-office and financial data from their internal SAP system reports. The Webalo Mobile Dashboard then reformats each report dynamically to conform to the look and feel of each executive’s mobile device, thus guaranteeing readability – and ships it off to the device on demand.
In case you are wondering where you have heard the name Lionsgate, you’ve probably seen it several times in the last few years, behind some of the big hits in the cinema – their current selection of films includes Crank 2, My Bloody Valentine 3D, and The Spirit, for example. Or as they like to say:
Lionsgate handles a prestigious and prolific library of approximately 12,000 motion picture and television titles that is an important source of recurring revenue and serves as the foundation for the growth of the Company’s core businesses. The Lionsgate brand is synonymous with entrepreneurial innovation and original, daring, quality entertainment in markets around the globe.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
