Radio News Hub provides a bespoke news service for the community and online radio stations in the UK, as well as English-speaking stations across the globe. They send out multiple types of bulletins every hour, every day of the year, via a bespoke cloud-based solution.
In order for them to grow and take their business to the next level, they required a new generation of their bespoke, cloud-based dispatch system. This is where our web development agency came in.
Our system is entirely bespoke, made to order, allowing us to cater for all of Radio News Hub’s requirements. It integrates with a number of their existing systems, including Capsule CRM system for tracking enquiries, Mailgun for tracking the delivery of the bulletins, as well as Amazon S3 to store all processed bulletins securely.
We gave the system an essential security upgrade so all processed bulletins from the previous six months could be stored safely, prevent non-subscribers from accessing information, and be fully GDPR compliant.
Once the new system was created, we faced the challenge of moving all stations over to the new system with no drop in service to ensure that all bulletins were delivered in time for playout. We conducted extensive testing and worked closely with Radio News Hub to seamlessly migrate all their customers.
“It’s a very exciting time for us. We plan to introduce new bulletins for clients both at home and in Europe, and this new piece of software will allow us to instantly update even more files into clients’ playout systems, all done within seconds.”
