Call-out automation for live event production

Build relationships, not spreadsheets.

CrewDriver runs your dispatch by SMS — one targeted offer at a time, in your seniority order, with a full audit trail. Your crew confirms themselves. You stop doing it by hand.

How it works

Three steps from shift creation to crew confirmed.

01

You create the shift

Date, time, role, rate — and CrewDriver handles the rest. Your roster, your rules, your preferences are already in the system.

02

Targeted offers go out by SMS

One worker at a time, in your priority order. Not a blast to the whole roster — a methodical, compliant call-out that respects seniority and availability.

03

Workers reply YES or NO

No app. No portal. No password. Just a text message they already know how to use. Every response logged automatically.

Who it's for

Everyone who does dispatch in live event production.

Labour Coordinator

Lucy

You run the call-out for 30, 80, 200 people. CrewDriver does the actual dialing so you can manage the exceptions — the people, the relationships, the edge cases that need a human.

Production Manager

Pam

You need shifts covered and a clean record of how they were filled. CrewDriver gives you a full audit trail you can actually search and share when questions come up.

Owner / Operator

Tina

You care about your crew. CrewDriver was designed around that — no forced placement, one offer at a time, workers in control of their own confirmations. $3 per booking.

Stop doing it by hand.

Try CrewDriver with your own roster. If it doesn't fit how you work, you'll know in 20 minutes — no commitment, no credit card.
