THE CHALLENGE
Before we started using farmerswife we did our bookings on excel spread sheets and had these huge whiteboards in our offices.
We encountered that we needed to see our crew and studio utilization, in order to make business decisions. We also never did internal invoices for services rendered between different departments within Urban Brew.
THE SOLUTION
We have been using farmerswife since 2016 and it has definitely added value to the business within terms of availability.
We make use of farmerswife for bookings of studios, control rooms, equipment, crew, audio & video post-production, and for utilization reports on all services, budget vs actual reports on productions and facilities.
