Locations

Scout smarter. Every detail in one place.

Address autocomplete, permit tracking, weather forecasts, hospital lookups, and interactive maps — everything you need for every location, accessible from anywhere.

Location scouting meets location management

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.

Address autocomplete

Start typing and Google Places fills in the rest — full address, coordinates, and map pin. No more copy-pasting addresses from Google Maps.

Permit tracking

Track permit status for each location: approved, pending, or denied. Add permit numbers, expiration dates, and notes so nothing slips through the cracks.

Location fees

Log location fees per day and see them reflected in your budget. Know exactly what each location costs before you commit to the schedule.

Interactive map

See all your locations plotted on a map. Click any pin to view details, directions, and distance between locations for travel day planning.

Contact info

Store the location contact, property manager, or owner details alongside the address. One tap to call when you need to confirm access.

Weather & hospital lookup

Pull real-time weather forecasts and find the nearest hospital for each location. Both flow directly into your call sheets for crew safety.

Photo & file links

Attach scout photos, site plans, and reference images to each location. Share the full picture with your team before the shoot day.

Batch import

Have a location list from a previous production? Import multiple locations at once from a URL or spreadsheet to get set up fast.

Connected to your schedule and call sheets

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.

  • Assign locations to shoot days and scenes — they auto-populate on your call sheet
  • Weather forecasts for the shoot location appear on the call sheet automatically
  • Nearest hospital info is included on every call sheet for crew safety compliance
  • Location fees sync to your budget as actual costs when assigned to scheduled days
  • Map links on call sheets so crew can navigate directly from the PDF
  • Sunrise and sunset times calculated for each location and shoot date

Track each location through the entire production lifecycle — from initial scouting to final wrap and location release.
