Home turns to freispace

Home has integrated post-production scheduling software freispace. 

The company has brought the technology in after its acquisition and rebrand by North Star Media late last year. The transition to freispace took one month, despite being originally projected to be three-to-six months. 

In addition to project management, freispace plans to add advanced media library integration and enhanced API capabilities to its software this year. The AI-powered planning system was launched in the UK last year. 

Paul Austin, managing director of Home Post Production, said: “The adoption of freispace represents our commitment to embracing cutting-edge technology that aligns with our strategic vision for the future. This isn’t just about operational efficiency; it’s about positioning ourselves as a forward-thinking, innovative post-production facility. The market perception is crucial for us as a new brand, and choosing a progressive, modern system like freispace sends a clear message that we’re doing things differently and better. This is our first major change since becoming Home Post Production, and it sets the tone for our future direction.”

Martin Day, head of operations at Home Post Production, added: “What’s been truly transformative is how freispace has consolidated our entire workflow under one system. The ‘orders’ feature has been a game-changer, allowing sales, producers, and finance to access all project information—quotes, bookings, invoices, and cost reports—in one centralized location. We’re no longer juggling multiple third-party applications or extracting data into Excel sheets. The time savings are substantial, and the collaborative nature of the freispace team means our feedback directly influences product development. It’s not just software; it’s a partnership.”

Leonardo Re, managing director of freispace, stated: “Our partnership with Home Post Production exemplifies the future of post-production management. Their decision to adopt freispace demonstrates how forward-thinking facilities recognize the need for modern, adaptable systems that evolve with their business. The rapid implementation and enthusiastic adoption by their team validates our approach to creating intuitive, user-centric software. We’re particularly excited about the collaborative relationship we’ve established, where Home Post Production’s insights directly influence our product roadmap. This is just the beginning of what we can achieve together.”
