Overall Satisfaction with Yamdu

We are an independent film production company based near Vienna in Austria, focused on fiction and non-fiction shows. All our projects have one thing in common: we use Yamdu to organize and share relevant information among all team members. Before Yamdu, information sharing was up to Dropboxes, google drives and e-mails. Every projects had kind of its own organziation. Mostly it was up to the freelancer production coordinators and production managers, who used their own systems. That worked within a project but it was tricky for the company to have all different sources in sight.When we started to use Yamdu we started to set communication-standards for the whole company and all projects. The basic functions we use in all projects are the crew list and the production calendar. The bigger the projects, the more functions we are using. Our fiction projects use nearly all functions. For us it is important to have one place, where all team members can rely on to always get the latest information. And that is Yamdu.

Pros

  • crew list management
  • crew announcements
  • production calendar
  • file management
  • time cards
  • crew travel planning
  • ressourcen bookings

Cons

  • cast import from alternative platforms
  • Yamdu reduces failures that occur when team members are not working with the latest scripts, information, ...
  • Yamdu improves the ability to keep track with all projects of the company
What you see is what you get. It's easy to start working when you setup your first project. Also team members do not need many new to learn skills to work with the basic functions. Really incredible is Yamdu's help center. It is always available in the right corner. A lot of topics are covered with video links. If you need personal assistance, you can write a message within the help-box and Yamdu's crew is really fast in responding!
