Yamdu Notifier is designed to quickly show you the information you need on set or while getting there. The concise dashboard focuses on the latest call sheets, announcements, calendar events and travel information. Our aim is to help you concentrate on the information that is important right now - like viewing and confirming the call sheet for the next shooting day. When the production office shares travel information, you don’t just see what to do next, like boarding a train or checking into a hotel - you can also directly access your tickets and car rental vouchers without having to check several apps, emails or websites. As mobile devices are built for communication, the new app also helps you to quickly navigate crew lists to contact other project members. Yamdu is the film production management tool that coordinates workflows and consolidates all production data in one cloud-based platform to save precious time, bind teams together and bring a project to life on the screen. Efficient and sustainable.
