From open slot to a live week

One programme, start to stage

A slot carries its date, programme, artist need, and budget through approval and confirmation into a production week.

What this lets you do

Built around the way you work

Keep artistic plan and operational reality together

Programme, artist needs, dates, budget, approval, and conversion share one record.

See a pipeline, not a static grid

Every slot shows whether it is open, proposed, approving, confirmed, converted, or blocked.

Execute without re-keying

Confirmed slots become weeks for services, personnel, materials, and updates.

Keep finance and planning distinct

Permissions separate artistic edits, budget approval, and conversion.

How it flows

From season arc to production week

01

Create the season frame

Set dates, venues, themes, and planning assumptions.

02

Shape each slot

Attach programme, artist need, instrumentation, budget, and owner.

03

Approve before operations

Route budget and leadership approval separately from artistic edits.

04

Convert the confirmed week

Start schedules, personnel, documents, and announcements from the approved plan.

Access model

Scoped to your organization, by role

Planning, edits, conversions, and budget approval use separate server-enforced permissions.

Role-based

Season management and budget approval are distinct permissions.

Org-scoped

Seasons and slots belong to one organization.

Audited

Creation, approval, and conversion are logged.

Connected

Converted slots feed the Production Desk members already use.
