OPENCAST - the production coordinator's assistant in software

Overview

OPENCAST is a multi-user FileMaker database that does those tasks that consume so much of your time. Works on Mac, PC and iPad.

With Opencast you can record all the information you need about your crew, cast and vendors. Then you can create fully customised contracts for crew and print their badges complete with barcode and photo. Phone, unit, cast and vendor lists are fully customisable. The system will export to Excel if necessary, and badge information can be captured for analysis. Privacy is ensured by flexible password settings.
