Build custom apps for media & entertainment teams
Production portals, talent directories, partner hubs, and ops tools—built without code, in hours, by the teams that need them.



Why media and entertainment companies love Softr
Softr lets operators build the tools they need to automate key workflows, connect tools, and eliminate manual processes.

Eliminate spreadsheet chaos without waiting on devs
Production teams can't wait months for IT to build internal tools. With Softr, your ops and production teams build exactly what they need—project portals, crew directories, gear booking systems, and more.

Give every stakeholder the information they need
Producers, crew members, clients, talent, and vendors all have different information needs. Softr's role-based user groups and granular permissions give each user the right view — and nothing more.

Scale workflows across your productions and teams
Unlike other AI app builders, Softr handles large user bases, complex data, and enterprise security requirements. SOC2 compliance, SAML SSO, and audit logging are available when you need them.
Connect to your tools and data in real time
Use Softr Databases to power high-volume production and ops workflows, or connect to the tools your teams already use — Airtable, Google Sheets, monday.com, SQL databases, and more.

Frequently asked questions
Softr is the AI platform that lets business teams build the software they need to run their operations, without code or developers. Describe what you need, and AI builds the app, database, and business logic — connected, secure, and ready for real users.
Over 1 million builders worldwide, from small businesses to enterprises, use Softr to build and run the internal tools and client-facing systems powering their operations.
Yes. Softr Databases are built for high-volume, concurrent read/write workflows — unlike Airtable or Notion which hit API rate limits at scale. For very large datasets or high-concurrency apps, you can also connect to managed SQL backends (Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL). Enterprise plans include SSO, audit logging, and custom SLAs.
Softr includes built-in user groups and granular permissions to control exactly what each user can see and do. This means a producer can see and edit all projects. A crew member sees only their assignments. A client sees only their deliverables. A vendor sees only their tasks.
Build one portal and adapt it to multiple user roles, so each person sees only what they're supposed to.
Most business ops tools are either too rigid or too expensive—and vibe-coded tools fall apart the moment real users and real data are involved. Softr is different because it's built for actual business use from day one.
Describe what you need, and the AI Co-Builder generates a fully functional app. No generated code to debug, no developer needed to make it production-ready.
From there, you stay in control: customize through prompting or visual editing, manage data in Softr Databases or connect to existing tools, set up granular permissions for each role, and add a built-in AI assistant so your team can get instant answers directly inside the app. As your operations grow, you can adapt your tools without starting over or calling in a developer.
Yes! Softr’s built-in Ask AI functionality lets app users ask questions from your live app data — for example:
- “Which crew members have the most open requests?”
- “Show me all equipment requests pending approval.”
- “What’s the average time to resolve a ticket?”
Note: Ask AI analyzes the data each user is allowed to see at the block level, always respecting your app's visibility and permission rules.
Yes. Many media and entertainment teams use Softr for both — internal production ops and crew management on one side, and external partner or client portals on the other. Both can live in the same Softr workspace, managed from one account.
For large video files, we recommend hosting externally (Vimeo, YouTube, or your CDN) and embedding the link in Softr. File fields in Softr Databases handle attachments like PDFs, images, and documents. Softr Workflows can generate expiring download links for secure asset distribution.
Softr is SOC2 Type 2 and GDPR compliant. Enterprise features include SAML SSO (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace), audit logging, IP allowlisting, multiple team spaces, and custom DPA/MSA agreements. EU data residency (AWS Frankfurt) is also available at the enterprise tier.
Yes. Softr has a certified partner network of agencies and developers who specialize in building production, media, and operations portals. If you need help with a complex build, we can connect you with the right partner through our partner directory.
