The day sheet, the live cue and the cab — on the phone in your pocket.

Crew check in when they land on site, read their day, and watch the cue that is live — the same pointer the caller is moving. Drivers get the run, the dock and the load list.

Who this is

You were sent an address and a call time and you are working eleven hours. You are not going to open a desktop app, you are not going to read a thread, and half the time you are in a loading dock with one bar. What you need is today, on a phone, correct.

  • You want your day, not the company's week
  • You are often on a bad connection, in a building made of steel
  • You want to be told the change, not to go looking for it
What you open first

Crew portal — Schedules

Crew portal

Where the phone lands: the day, in order, colour-coded by category — rigging call, trucks at dock, crew lunch, focus — with the hotel you are in and the note that the house rigger is on the clock from 06:00. Five tabs across the bottom: Dates, Schedules, Dashboard, Chat, More. Arrival and end of day are one tap each, queued on the device when there is no signal and replayed on reconnect.

How your week runs

You open the portal the night before, not the morning of: call time, address, hotel, and what time the trucks land. Arrival is one tap, and it queues on the device when the dock has no signal, so a building made of steel does not cost you a check-in. During the show the live cue is the same pointer the caller is moving, filtered to your department, with a countdown to the one that is yours. A driver's version of the same day is the show picker, then the run — the load list by layer, the dock space, and the duty clocks. The roster is the other half of the story: how your name got on the show in the first place.

The screens you live in

What you open, and what it answers.

01

Live cue

The cue that is on air, a timer on it, and how many cues away yours is — filterable to your own department. When it is not sure what is live it says 'Connecting — checking what's on air' rather than showing you a cue it is guessing at.

02

Driver portal — pick your show

Driver portal

What a driver opens first: the list of shows they are on, most recent first. Everything else — the run, the dock, the load — is one tap in from here.

03

Driver — the run

The truck, where it is going with directions and the venue contact, the load list by layer, the dock space, and the duty clocks with drive left, window and break in. Start and Stop Trip are on the same screen.

How you got on the show

CrewOps

The other half of the story: the roster your name is on, the position you were assigned to, and the job board where open calls are posted for crew to sign themselves up.

What else this chair can open

  • Driver duty clocksDriver portal
What you never touch

The boundary, before you find it yourself

Worth knowing now rather than at 16:00 on a load-in day.

  • Firing a cue

    The phone reads the pointer the caller is moving. It never moves it.

  • Scanning gear

    Not from the crew portal. The gear view there is read-only and says so in the product; scanning is the shop's screen.

  • Reporting your location

    No crew location is ever sent. A driver — not crew — may opt in to share their phone while the run is open, and it stops when they switch it off.

  • The money

    Rates and margin sit on the event record. Your rate is between you and whoever booked you.

  • Pairing and pull sheets

    What is bagged with what is the shop tech's screen, on the shop tech's hardware.

  • Working fully offline

    The offline queue is narrow on purpose: check-in, check-out, field notes and live notes queue and replay. Issue photos and other writes need a connection.
