The show is over. The expensive part is starting.
What you can prove came home is what you still own. Everything else is a conversation in three weeks with somebody who does not remember either.
- Return is a tab on the portal the gear went out through — same codes, same cases, opposite direction
- Every owned asset reads as in shop, prepping, out, in transit, in repair or missing, and accounted-for is everything not flagged missing
- Wand a case and its contents move with it, so a full case is one scan rather than one scan per piece
- A repair report hangs on the item rather than in somebody's phone, and the gear-damage kind pushes the show's producers on submit
- Maintenance and cleaning are scheduled across many items or a whole group at once, which is the only way a shop keeps doing it
- Gear TrackingWhere every owned asset is, how long it has been there, and who scanned it last
- Scan In / OutReturn is a tab on the portal the gear left by
- Repair ReportsFlag, track and close out damage against the item it happened to
- Maintenance & CleaningRepairs and turnaround, scheduled across a whole group at once
- Sub-rentals & transfersOne order, read from both ends — the lender sees it out while the borrower sees it in
- FinanceThe quotes, invoices and costs sitting on the event the work sat on
Who is on it with you
The count is only as good as the scan
Nothing counts itself. An asset's state is the last scan somebody made, so a case that never went through the portal reads as never scanned rather than as lost — and missing is not a deduction the software makes from an absence. It is a flag a person raised, and nothing else sets it. What the shop does do on its own is list, under the count, anything still out that has not been scanned for fourteen days: a warning to go and look, measured from the last scan rather than from a date the job was due back, and it does not change the count — those assets are still counted as accounted for. Sub-rental returns are a typed quantity rather than a scan, because that gear is going back to somebody else's shop. And nothing warns you that two shows want the same item in the same week, including the one you have just sent to the repair bench: you find that out on the next pull sheet.
