Plan Smarter. Book Faster. Stay in Control.

Company-Wide Resource Scheduling Made Simple – Clear, conflict-free scheduling for cast, crew, staff, and freelancers.

In modern broadcasting and media production, one of the hardest challenges isn’t the creative work — it’s managing the people who make it all happen. From permanent staff to freelancers, presenters, stylists and production assistants, every project draws on the same pool of talent. Keeping track of who’s available, who’s already booked and who’s on leave can quickly become a puzzle.

With Dramatify’s new Production Resource Scheduling — also known as Company-wide Resource Booking — that puzzle finally fits together. Broadcasters and production companies can now see, plan and schedule all staff, freelancers, cast and crew across every production in one integrated system.

Why production companies asked for it

Until now, Dramatify’s powerful Crew Scheduling and Cast Scheduling tools have managed scheduling within individual productions — perfect for coordinating teams on a single show. But for larger organisations running multiple parallel projects, there was a missing link: a way to view everyone, everywhere, at once.

That’s where Resource Booking comes in. It provides a single, company-wide overview of all personnel resources, showing at a glance who is booked, who is available and who has time off. Whether you need to find an editor for next week or a lighting director for a project starting in three months, you can plan ahead with complete confidence.

A connected, company-wide scheduling ecosystem

What makes Dramatify’s Production Resource Scheduling unique is its deep integration with the rest of your planning tools. Book a team member once, and their schedule automatically connects to:

  • Crew & Cast Booking — project-level scheduling with conflict warnings
  • Shooting schedules, stripboards and running orders — instant visibility in day-to-day planning
  • Daily cast scheduling and automatic stylist scheduling — departments always know who is working when
  • Call sheets and time sheets — synced across productions and teams
  • Automatic catering lists and daily production reports (DPRs) — generated from up-to-date bookings

This means no more manual updates, duplicate data or overlooked conflicts. Every department works from the same real-time information — from development through delivery.

Company-wide resource booking for film, TV, video and broadcasting

How it works

In Resource Booking, you can view and schedule team members in multiple ways:

  • List view — a monthly overview across all projects, filterable by project, department or name
  • Month view — a calendar for up to five people at once
  • Week view — detailed day-by-day scheduling

Colour-coded bars make it easy to see who is fully booked, partially booked, on leave or free to join a new production. Scheduling absences, holidays and sick leave is handled here as well, ensuring time off appears automatically in every crew and cast schedule view. You’ll never accidentally double-book someone who’s away.

Connected scheduling across every workflow

Resource Booking doesn’t work in isolation — it’s integrated with Dramatify’s Crew Booking and Cast Booking, creating a complete scheduling chain from company overview down to individual shoot days. When you book a team member in Resource Booking, that information flows directly into the relevant production’s planning tools. Crew appear automatically in shooting schedules, stripboards and running orders, ensuring each department always works from the latest information.

For cast and talent, Resource Booking synchronises with daily cast scheduling, automatic stylist scheduling, call sheets and time sheets. The system also connects to catering lists and daily production reports, reducing manual updates and the risk of errors. By uniting all levels of scheduling — from long-term planning to on-the-day operations — Dramatify gives broadcasters and large production companies a single, reliable source of truth for every person involved.

Real-world use cases

For broadcasters

Manage ten concurrent productions — from a morning show to live sport — with instant visibility across departments. When a vision mixer or camera operator becomes free, another show can book them directly without guesswork.

For production companies

Track when freelance editors wrap one series so you can schedule them for the next. Planned absences are visible across teams, avoiding last-minute surprises.

For studio operations

Balance crew and talent across parallel shoots. Integration with call sheets, time sheets and daily production reports ensures everyone — from the director to catering — sees the same updates.

Access and permissions

Resource Booking respects your existing access rights in Dramatify:

  • Company admins can view all bookings and schedule if they also hold crew/cast booking rights.
  • Production admins can schedule cast and crew across all views for their production.
  • Tailored access lets users with cast or crew booking rights schedule those categories; with both, they can schedule everyone in their production.

The big picture: one platform, one source of truth

By connecting company-wide planning with production-level scheduling, Dramatify’s Production Resource Scheduling closes the loop on one of the most complex parts of production management. Broadcasters and large production companies gain a single source of truth for every person involved — from staff to freelancers, from prep to post — resulting in fewer conflicts, better utilisation and smoother productions from start to finish.
