The 14th, and the 15th in case it rains.

A production holds a cover date it will probably never use, against a shoot that firms up ten days out. Treat a hold like a booking and you turn away work for a job that evaporates.

  • Weather covers are real dates

    A rain date takes the location off the page while it is held, so the second enquiry for that week gets an answer you can actually stand behind.

  • One shoot day is four days of you

    The recce, the prep, the shoot and the strike are separate days at separate prices, and all four make the property unavailable.

  • Confirmed means gone

    When dates firm up they leave the page entirely, so nothing else can be agreed on top of a week a unit is already coming to.

One clear view of every location.

See commercial shoot days, photo crews and weather hold together, with the actual resource attached to every entry.

Built for your property

Built for every kind of location shoot

Commercial shoot days

Offer the location only for the dates and times it is genuinely ready. Confirmation removes that precise film location window before it is promised twice.

Screen productions

Hold the complete booking around crew arrival, not just the customer-facing session, while unaffected location time stays available.

Photo crews

Repeat this kind of film location weekly or monthly on Free, stopping after the final agreed visit instead of leaving an endless block.

Student films

Keep the customer, location and practical notes together so student films starts from one current record rather than scattered messages.

Location recces

Close only the resources needed for location recces, leaving every unrelated location open for another booking.

Night shoots

Begin the longer arrangement with an itemised quote and keep the accepted requirements beside the booking.

Weather holds

Move the date to cover weather holds, without losing the customer, payment position or earlier agreement.

Pack-in and reset

Block the exact period needed for weather hold, reopening the location only when it is ready to use again.

Pro

The location hire fee beside the booking.

Keep payment status with the film location, including offline money recorded on Free and complete online card checkout on Pro.

  • Full card payment online

    Pro takes the complete location hire fee by card when the film location is booked. Record cash or bank transfer manually on Free.

  • Offline money stays recorded

    Record cash or bank transfer manually on Free, keeping the location hire fee beside the film location.

  • Longer arrangements start with a quote

    Send an itemised quote for the longer film location and agreed extras, then keep later payments with the accepted details.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your location hire business.

Online booking

Show only the location time you can genuinely take. Once a customer confirms the film location, that exact resource and window leave the public page.

Scheduling

Put every crew arrival, occupied block and weather hold on one film location calendar, with the actual location named on each entry.

Standing bookings

Repeat a regular location booking weekly or monthly on Free, and end the run when the customer’s agreed dates finish.

One location, one production

Confirmed dates leave the page entirely, so a second enquiry for the same week gets an honest answer rather than a maybe.

Estimates

Itemise a longer film location, extra resource time and agreed requirements in a quote, then retain the accepted scope with the booking.

Email reminders

Email the customer their location, crew arrival and practical arrival notes before the booked time begins. The production stays attached to that booking.

Customers

Keep each customer’s earlier film location dates, location choices and payment record together when they come back.

Team

Give the location host one current view of crew arrival, occupied resources and weather hold before the next handover begins.

Payments

Record cash or bank transfer for the film location on Free, or take the complete location hire fee by card when the booking is confirmed on Pro.
