Why Softr

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. 

Data Management

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.

From pre-production through post, keep crews, clients, vendors, and stakeholders aligned in one hub with custom roles and permissions.

Full production lifecycle tracking

Build project dashboards with status, shot lists, crew assignments, call sheets, and deliverables — with the right views for every logged-in user.

Automatically capture the talent, the partner account, and contact details and notify your team in real time.
