Case Study: Fremantle achieves 99% faster producer share reporting and improved finance productivity with SS&C Blue Prism

Intelligent Automation Stars in Finance Process Transformation at Fremantle

Fremantle, a global content creator and distributor operating in over 30 countries, faced a resource‑intensive finance challenge: producing time‑critical monthly reports (producer share, hedging, royalties, balance sheets) across thousands of items with manual processes that left little time for analysis. To address this, Fremantle partnered with Arvato and SS&C Blue Prism to introduce intelligent automation using a Blue Prism digital workforce.

Arvato deployed and manages the SS&C Blue Prism digital workforce within Fremantle’s infrastructure, integrating with SAP and City Financials to pull data and automatically generate reports. The solution cut producer share reporting time by 99% and hedging analysis time by 82%, automated royalty statements, stock adjustments and reconciliations, reduced monthly data collation from three hours to under one, improved accuracy and consistency, and freed staff to focus on higher‑value analysis.
