The challenge

Radio France managed fragmented workflows across legacy systems, with rights data scattered across multiple Excel files and disconnected editorial and legal systems. Informal requests and manual coordination caused delays and errors.

The solution

Radio France built modular Airtable bases for rights management, program production, and editorial requests. The bases centralized data on top of existing systems without replacing them and automated cross-team workflows.

“Airtable let us build a flexible layer on top of our complex system. We didn't have to rip anything out, we just made everything work together better.”
