Address autocomplete, permit tracking, weather forecasts, hospital lookups, and map pins — everything you need for every location, accessible from anywhere.
Finding great locations is only half the job. Tracking permits, fees, contacts, parking, and safety info is the other half — and it's the half that usually lives across a dozen emails and text threads. Production Slate puts it all in one place.
Start typing and Google Places fills in the rest — full address, coordinates, and map pin. No more copy-pasting addresses from Google Maps.
Track permit status for each location (approved, pending, or denied), filter the list by it, and keep the details in the location notes so nothing slips through the cracks.
Enter a location's fee and it creates and updates a linked line in your budget, so the cost is counted before you commit to the schedule.
Every location shows a geocoded map pin, and call sheets link straight to directions for the crew.
Store the location contact, property manager, or owner details alongside the address. One tap to call when you need to confirm access.
Pull real-time weather forecasts and find the nearest hospital for each location. Both flow directly into your call sheets for crew safety.
Attach scout photos, site plans, and reference images to each location. Share the full picture with your team before the shoot day.
Paste a listing link to pre-fill a new location, and export your whole list to CSV or Excel whenever you need it.
Locations aren't just pins on a map — they're part of your production workflow. When you assign a location to a shoot day, everything follows.
Track each location through the entire production lifecycle — from initial scouting to final wrap and location release.
Search for addresses, add photos and notes, and log contact details for the property owner or manager.
Track permit status and fees. Location costs flow into your budget so there are no surprises.
Assign to shoot days. Weather, maps, and hospital info auto-populate on your call sheets.
