The Scope
The Vodworks team identified a significant gap in the Video Media solutions industry: the absence of a technology-agnostic video management system capable of seamlessly integrating with multiple video streaming services.

The clients VidScape Helped
The Vodworks team worked together to develop VidScape, a highly customisable platform designed to enhance content management and user engagement.
One of the key challenges was ensuring flexibility in content curation while maintaining performance and scalability. To make platform fit the client’s needs we added the abilities to apply dynamic filters, create custom groups, and made content management settings flexible without compromising speed or usability.
Vodworks engineers used a tech stack that included Java with the Spring Framework, Hibernate ORM, and Elasticsearch for efficient data processing. The front-end was built using Angular, while mobile applications were developed using Objective-C for iOS and Java for Android. The platform was deployed on AWS for cloud scalability, with multiple VLC integrations to support seamless content delivery.
This approach and tech stack allowed VidScape to set a new benchmark for user experience, offering future clients better customisation options and ensuring high performance and reliability.
MyK+ for Canal Plus
K+ tasked Vodworks with creating an immersive, multi-device platform capable of maintaining high performance and security, regardless of device or network condition.
We integrated Vidscape Video Life Cycle Management system to manage encoding, transcoding, and distribution for over 30 live channels and a 1000+ VOD library, implementing video distribution, content management, and security features
