Everything a production needs,
nothing it doesn't

Built from the ground up for the pace and structure of professional film and TV production.

Real-time Driver Tracking

GPS positions update every 10 seconds. See every driver live on the map with role badges, status, and What3Words locations. Day/night map themes included.

AI Call Sheet Import

Drag a PDF, Excel, or CSV call sheet onto the dashboard — AI extracts all locations, postcodes, and What3Words addresses in seconds.

Movement Planner

Build tomorrow's run sheet tonight — assign drivers by role, set pickup times, and publish to everyone at once.

Crew Pickup Requests

Share a link — crew submit pickups from any browser, no app download required. Approve and assign from the dashboard.

CO₂ Sustainability Reporting

Road transport is ~35% of your production's total carbon footprint. DriveOps calculates it automatically using UK DEFRA emission factors — daily, weekly, monthly, or full wrap.

Automatic Trip Detection

GPS detects movement and starts a trip automatically if a driver forgets — every kilometre counted, even offline.

Production Calendar

Phase management across Pre-Production, Production, Post, and Wrap. Daily locations per shoot day. Day-aware system — today's context loads automatically.

Driver Role Categories

Assign VIP, Crew Transfer, Facilities, Truck, Department vehicle, or custom roles per day. Captains filter and dispatch by role. Role breakdowns appear in CO₂ reports.

What3Words Integration

Every driver location and saved spot is labelled with a What3Words address. Drop pins, find drivers, and share precise on-set locations with the whole team.

Albert-Compatible Export

One-click CSV export formatted for BAFTA Albert. Submit your road transport data to Albert without spreadsheets or manual entry.

In-app Messaging

Captains and drivers communicate inside the platform. No personal phone numbers shared. All messages tied to the production and unit.

Unit-based Production Structure

Organise your fleet into units — Main Unit, Second Unit, Inserts, and more. Drivers, locations, and reports are scoped per unit with a single production-wide overview.

Shift Management

Drivers clock in and out from their phone. Shift duration, earliest clock-in, and latest clock-out are tracked automatically across every unit.

Trip Distance & Cost Tracking

Every trip is logged with origin, destination, distance, vehicle type, passenger count, and optional cost — powering your emissions data and budget management.

Drag & Drop Import

Drag a file onto the dashboard. PDF call sheets, Excel spreadsheets, and CSV files are accepted. Locations appear on the map in seconds.

The whole fleet, at a glance

A map-first dashboard built for the way transport captains actually work — not a spreadsheet dressed up as software.

  • Live map with driver pins updating every 10 seconds
  • Driver sidebar filtered by role — VIP, Crew Transfer, Facilities, Truck, Department
  • Status dots: driving, waiting, on break, clocked out
  • Click a driver to pan the map and see their current destination

Automatic Trip Detection

If a driver forgets to tap Start, DriveOps detects movement via GPS and starts the trip automatically. Auto-ends on arrival. Handles connectivity loss without dropping data. Every kilometre is counted.

  • GPS movement triggers trip start
  • Arrival detection ends trips automatically
  • Offline resilient — syncs when back online
  • Auto-detected trips flagged in reports

Production Calendar

A full shoot calendar with phase management and per-day location overrides. The system knows what day it is — the right locations load automatically every morning.

  • Production phases: Pre-Prod, Shoot, Post, Wrap
  • Different locations for each shoot day
  • Historical record — any past day is one click away
  • Day-aware system loads today's context automatically

Production data stays safe

Built with privacy-first principles. Location data is only ever tracked when drivers are clocked in — by their own choice.

GDPR Compliant

Location is only tracked when drivers are actively clocked in. Full data export and account deletion available on request. No data sold to third parties.

Encrypted & Rate-Limited

Passwords hashed with bcrypt. All API routes are rate-limited. Auth tokens expire automatically. Production data is logically isolated per captain.

Role-based Access

Captains, coordinators, and drivers each have scoped access. Drivers only see their own data. Coordinators manage a unit. Captains control the whole production.

Full Data Export

Export your trip data, shift records, and sustainability reports at any time. Your data is yours — we don't lock you in.

Up and running in minutes

No installation. No IT tickets. Just sign up and your production is live.

01

Captain creates the production

The transport captain signs up, creates a production workspace, sets production phases and timeline, and configures units — Main Unit, Second Unit, Inserts, or any structure that fits the shoot.

02

Drivers join with the production code

Drivers visit the web app, enter their vehicle details, and join using the captain's unique code. The captain assigns them to a unit and a role — VIP, Crew Transfer, Facilities, Truck, Department Vehicle.

03

Import the call sheet, add locations

Drag and drop the day's call sheet — AI extracts locations in seconds. Or add locations manually with What3Words, a postcode, or by dropping a pin on the map. Locations sync to all drivers immediately.

04

Build run sheets, dispatch drivers, track live

Build tomorrow's movement plan tonight. Assign drivers to runs by role. Drivers clock in, log trips, and track their status from their phone. The captain sees everything live on the map — positions update every 10 seconds.

05

Reports and Albert export — automatically

Sustainability reports generate automatically for any date range. At wrap, generate the end-of-production report and export to Albert CSV in one click. Your entire road transport footprint, ready for green certification.
