Business Description
Beam Dynamics is an enterprise
asset management platform with
data built-in. We link customers’ technology assets to product-level data from hundreds of sources in one SaaS cloud software.
Company Background
The founders worked in the
industry for over a decade, visiting hundreds of studios and production sites. They noticed that engineers on set managed thousands of technology assets
from hundreds of vendors using
spreadsheets. Critical updates
were falling through the cracks and the resulting downtime was
costing the industry millions each year.
Problem/Solution
Engineers need to access
firmware, software and critical security patches across all their
assets. When they miss updates, downtime or security breaches can occur. These engineers don’t have a single source to access this information.
Products/Services
Beam is the only enterprise asset management platform to
aggregate and organize data
from hundreds of sources and
connect it to the assets that
customers own. We allow
organizations with multi and
single-site studios to access all vendor data and perform tasks and proactively receive critical updates.
Technologies/Special Know-how
Our CTO holds a PhD in product data integration. We utilize ML and graph technologies to
properly link, match and
aggregate data from hundreds of sources.
Markets
Our go to market focus is the film, broadcast and pro-AV industry. There are roughly 200,000 sites globally that represent our core customer base. We charge $9,800 annually per site.
Competition
Our main competition is status quo, which is spreadsheets. We also see static inventory and ERP systems do provide a base layer of functionality, but do not have data built in and do not focus heavily on this industry.
Business Model and Distribution Channels
We have a direct sales approach for our core customer audience, where we are building a team of business development reps to approach key market segments within the industry. We are also working with system integrators and value added resellers who build out net-new studio sites to couple the Beam platform with their existing service level agreements and general
offerings. We have resale
partnerships with several of the largest industry integrators.
