CrewDesk/Who it's for/Producers

Production management for producersStop asking where things stand.

A producer carries several productions in their head. CrewDesk puts them on one screen: which stage each is in, what is late, what is shooting this week and who is on it.

One click, no account. The demo is filled with sample productions and rebuilt every day.

A producer's morning

Before the first coffee is finished: four messages asking for decisions, one location that fell through, and a client who wants to know if delivery is still on Friday. To answer, you need facts that live in five people's heads.

What you see in CrewDesk

  • The dashboard: open tasks, productions under way, productions delivered, people on the team.
  • The call sheet of your day: the tasks due next across all productions, with their owner.
  • Every production with a progress bar across its five stages.
  • The calendar of shoots, scouts and deliveries for the month.
  • The team's roles, which you control.

Decisions that leave a trace

A producer's decisions are the production's memory. Written in the project notes with their date, they stop being re-argued. Given as tasks, they have an owner.

What a producer usually asks us to add

Budget versus actuals per production, a client portal and a weekly summary by email. They are not in the demo. They are the most common requests when TECHMA adapts CrewDesk for a company.

Questions

Asked before the first call

Does CrewDesk include budgeting?

No. The demo covers organization: productions, tasks, calendar, cast, gear and chat. Budget tracking can be built in a custom version.

Can I see everything while my crew sees less?

Yes. The Producer role sees all productions and settings. Other roles see less.

Can I get a weekly summary?

The dashboard gives it live. An automatic email summary is a custom addition.

CrewDesk is a working application, not a mock-up. Open it, move a project to the next stage, assign a task, and judge it on what it does.
