Planning

In a perfect world, focus would be centralised, and attention would be undivided. However, we know how television production really is. Production managers are not always focused on a single production. They are in fact frequently addressing multiple productions at a time. This can be stressful as many stakeholders are relying on a consistent level of focus and energy from the production manager. As more tasks and responsibilities pile up, the demand to be organised increases. This leaves many production managers dreaming of a centralised manner to view the different elements of the whole production process from a single point in a logical, organised, and understandable fashion.

This is exactly what the Uberportal.tv platform provides. The intuitively designed UI allows you to maintain your focus on all the tasks at hand without loss of overview, and its scalability minimises the stress factor when multiple productions are added to your responsibilities.

Finances

Successful TV productions are driven by two factors; logistics and money. Reporting on the latter is often the least enjoyable part the of the role as production managers. With the Uberportal platform, you will no longer have to worry about compiling the numbers and providing accurate management reports. The platform gives you holistic real-time tracking of the costs based on your detailed logistic planning. Tedious financial reports can now be generated on demand by you or by the intended party directly.

With Uberportal.tv your organisation gets a Single Source of Truth on all levels. Data is never duplicated – it is used universally across different points of reference. This means you will finally have the foundation you need to optimise workflows within your organisation and provide a cohesive vantage point to everyone involved in your productions.

Production Manager KPI:
Deliver a program at a certain quality, at a specific time, within a given budget.

Resource

In every production the resource management of crew and facilities – internal and external – is essential. Owning equipment and/or a vast number of staff to facilitate your productions requires firm management of your resources across the organisation to ensure appropriate allocation to each production.

Uberportal Resource Management allows the Production team to pick and choose from certain groups of facilities and people themselves while other resource groups are only managed by the Resource Scheduling team. At the same time, it gives full transparency on the costs for the production and the revenue the resource has generated.

Our advanced UI gives you an overview of who, what and where as well as the money involved in each case on both individual or category levels. You will always be able to forecast the company’s requirements for any resource category.
