Keep Every Script Change Synced Across Schedule, Budget, and Call Sheets
Coordinate crew, control budgets, manage vendor POs, and shoot on schedule. One platform connects your production office, finance team, and on-set department heads — from script breakdown through DCP delivery.
Problems We're Built to Solve
These aren't edge cases — they happen every day in operations like yours.
Budget Overruns with No Early Warning
Department spends are tracked on spreadsheets updated weekly, if at all. By the time finance consolidates the numbers, the production is already over budget — and the only option is to cut.
PO and Contract Bottlenecks
Vendor agreements and purchase orders move over email with no audit trail. Payment disputes, duplicate POs, and unsigned agreements create delays that cost shoot days.
Script Revisions Break the Whole Operation
A single page change means the breakdown, the schedule, the budget top-sheet, and the crew call sheets all need to be updated — in four separate tools, by four different people.
Department Heads Are Flying Blind
Art, camera, and production departments track their own schedules and spends in silos. Conflicts surface on set, not in the production office where they can be resolved cheaply.
Payroll for Daily Crews Is a Monthly Nightmare
Daily workers, weekly-rated crew, overtime, turnaround violations, and TDS — all calculated manually in Excel by someone who has to get it right or face union escalation.
Props and Equipment Move with No Record
Costumes, props, and rented equipment shift between locations, departments, and shooting days with no system of record. Loss and damage are discovered — and disputed — during wrap.

Benchmarked against customers in their first year. Results typically visible within the first 90 days.
"On our last production we cut schedule prep time by 4 days and caught a ₹22 lakh budget variance before it turned into a conversation with the financiers. The production office ran like clockwork — producers could focus on the film, not the paperwork."
