After you book
Run the shoot day on NeedaCrew
Once your crew is booked, the same job runs the day itself. It's in the On set tab of your job.
Shoot days on the job
Add each day to your job, with call times and who's on it.
Confirm the night before
Everyone booked gets a "Confirm you're coming" ask the night before, so you know who's showing up.
Check-in passes
Each person gets a pass on their phone. A PA scans it at the door, in and out.
A live count
See who's in, who's late and who's on set now, as it happens.
A voucher each person can see
Each person sees their own voucher, and any change to it comes with the reason why.
Export for payroll
