Moving from Airtable to Coda with Netflix
Context
During a seven-month partnership, SimplaDocs collaborated with Netflix to design, scope, and implement a connected ecosystem of tools and processes, enabling Netflix to scale their internal production studio operations past the Airtable solutions that were currently powering their operations
Challenges
Netflix’s internal production studio, Inc Studios, faced numerous operational inefficiencies. Tasks such as sending invoices, booking studios for contractors, and renting equipment consumed hundreds of hours of employee time. Data was scattered across disparate spreadsheets, communications were lost in emails, and equipment inventories were misaligned with actual loans.
A majority of their processes were held together in Airtable bases, but the systems no longer served them. They needed new systems that integrated more tooling and processes while not losing their data currently in their systems.
Outcomes
Streamlined operational workflows and reduced manual tasks Centralized data management, eliminating disparate spreadsheets Enhanced communication with integrated tools, reducing email clutter Synchronized equipment inventory with real-time tracking Improved efficiency in booking studios and managing contractor schedules Significant reduction in operational hours, freeing up employee time for strategic tasks Increased overall productivity and operational scalability
