About

Crew Call

Read full description

Crew Call egy olyan egyedülálló, a film/média iparágát segítő applikáció, amely a megbízók és munkavállalók könnyebb egymásra találását segíti. A crew tagok saját szakmai profilt hozhatnak létre – referenciáik feltüntetésével – valamint naptárukban a szabad kapacitásuk, ráérésük is vezethetik. Így a platformra szintén regisztrált stábszervezők azonnal láthatják, hogy az adott munkaerő rendelkezésre tud-e állni egy soron következő produkció esetén. A részletes, számtalan keresési szempont mentén szűrhető adatbázisból pillanatok alatt megtalálhatják azt a munkaerőt, amely mind szakmailag, mind a szabad kapacitás szempontjából megfelelő lehet a munkára. A stábszervező a crew tag adatlapján feltüntetett elérhetőségeinek bármelyikén könnyen, gyorsan fel tudja venni vele a kapcsolatot. A Crew Call adatbázisában a stábszervezők megtalálhatják egy produkció következő munkatársát, míg a crew tagokra – a teljes szakmai profil kitöltése esetén – könnyebben, gyorsabban találhatnak rá a stábszervezők. Mindezen funkciók mellett a Crew Call applikációja a napi ügymenetet (pl.: elektronikus szerződéskötés, számlázás stb.,) is támogatni fogja a jövőben. Célja, hogy megkönnyítse a szakmabeliek adminisztrációs munkafolyamatait, valamint egy „zöldebb”, környezettudatosabb (papírmentes) ügyviteli alternatívát kínáljon. Az applikáció folyamatosan újabb és újabb funkciókkal bővül.
