Gin Tonic

What Gin Tonic does

Gin Tonic, operating under the brand dzjinius (formerly dzjintonik), is a Belgian private SaaS company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Kalmthout, Belgium. The company sells an all-in-one cloud-based production management platform for the media and entertainment industry, comprising a unified core system and seven modular components: Resource Scheduling, Production Scheduling, Scriptwriting, Drama Scheduling, Budgeting & Controlling, Auditions & Casting, and Integrations. Customers can adopt individual modules and expand over time, allowing the platform to serve productions of varying complexity across drama, news and sports, entertainment, and events segments. The company claims 2,000+ productions powered, 10,000+ scripts brought to life, 500+ teams using the platform, and 100+ customers, supported by 175+ years of combined media and entertainment domain expertise within the team.

The platform is sold via a modular SaaS subscription with monthly billing and a sales-led, enterprise-targeted go-to-market model anchored on demo requests. Customer logos include public broadcasters and production houses such as BBC, ITV Studios, Talpa Studios, DPG Media, and Deutsche Welle, alongside smaller European media operators (BX1, Panenka, DSS). Distribution is positioned as global with a primary operating footprint in Europe, and the company markets through its website, LinkedIn, Facebook, events, webinars, and published success stories. CEO Ivan Dresselaers leads the firm; no funding rounds, partnerships, patents, or awards are publicly disclosed in the available data.

Revenue mechanics are tied to module-by-module enterprise subscriptions sold through direct sales engagement, with no publicly disclosed price points or tier details. The company emphasizes an all-in-one consolidation play against fragmented production toolsets, with switching costs derived from embedded production data (scripts, schedules, budgets, casting) and an integrations layer designed to connect dzjinius into adjacent production systems.
