Xytech

The short version

Xytech runs the operational and commercial side of a media facility. Scheduling of rooms, equipment, and crew, work orders, resource conflicts, cost capture against jobs, quoting, and invoicing all live in one system. It is not a full ERP. There is no manufacturing, no procurement suite, and the statutory general ledger normally sits in a separate finance system that Xytech feeds. What it is, for broadcasters and post houses, is the system of record that decides what the facility can promise and what it can bill. Compare that scope against the standard ERP definition before treating it as a suite replacement.

Where Xytech comes from

Two name changes make this product hard to track in older buyer research. The platform was sold for years as MediaPulse, later as the Media Operations Platform, by Xytech Systems of Chatsworth, California. Software-focused private equity firm Banneker Partners acquired Xytech in 2021. In August 2024 Xytech merged with Fabric, a media supply chain and metadata company, with Banneker backing the transaction, and the combined business then rebranded as Fabric. The old xytechsystems.com domain now points at fabricdata.com, and Xytech survives as the product line name. Fabric also inherited the ScheduALL customer base and committed publicly to bringing ScheduALL transmission and scheduling functionality into Xytech rather than stranding those users.

Functional scope

The line splits three ways. Xytech Operations handles scheduling, resources, and work orders. Xytech Media covers asset tracking through Media Library, order handling through Media Orders, and automated task generation through Media Orchestrator. Xytech Transmission covers delivery and bandwidth planning, the area where the ScheduALL heritage landed. Commercial functions center on job costing, quoting, and billing, with task completions logged for audit and billing purposes. Integration runs through REST API v3, webhooks, and task-level OAuth. On February 2, 2026 Fabric announced what it calls the largest update in the company history: a rebuilt AWS foundation with multi-availability-zone database replication, a 99.95 percent uptime commitment, Amazon Bedrock support, a redesigned X2 interface rolling out across modules through the second quarter of 2026, and an AI-assisted scheduling tool.

Target market and industries

Broadcasters, post-production houses, studios, sports leagues, distributors, live event operations, and media service providers running several facilities. The typical buyer has enough concurrent bookings, shared resources, and client billing complexity that a booking calendar and spreadsheets have already failed visibly. Boutique post houses generally stay on cheaper scheduling tools and do not need this.

How it is sold

Cloud subscription is the current model, with an installed base still on older on-premises MediaPulse deployments that Fabric is actively migrating. Nothing is published on price. Quotes depend on facility count, concurrent users, and which of the three product lines are in scope. Migration off a legacy version is a project in its own right, so budget it the way you would any data migration in a system-of-record replacement.

Where it wins, where it loses

For a multi-facility broadcaster or media services business, Xytech is the category incumbent, and the 2026 rebuild plus the absorbed ScheduALL functionality removes the main reason buyers were hesitating through 2024 and 2025. ScheduALL users still weighing options now have a documented path rather than an open question. Where it loses: this is not an ERP, so a buyer hunting for one platform covering finance, HR, and procurement is in the wrong aisle and should shortlist a general suite with a media-services implementation partner instead. Small facilities will find it heavy and expensive next to niche booking tools. And the ownership picture deserves a direct question in the sales process. Private equity control, one merger, one rebrand, and one absorbed competitor inside three years is a lot of corporate motion for a system you expect to run for a decade.
