Quote stays locked. Days creep. Margin tells the truth.
Do it for realSpreadsheets don't know your gaffer's on night rate after 18:00.
They don't notice when the kit list creeps. They don't flag that you quoted a 30% margin and you're tracking six.
They never reconciled the calendar with the crew day count, and they never will.
Slatewise does, because it had to.
Drop your kit once.
Gear catalogue with day / 3-day / week rates. Crew with day and night rates. Transport thresholds. Reuse this for the next ten jobs without retyping a thing.
Pull, slide, ship.
Pull from the catalogue into the budget. Drag the profit slider — every line reflows. Move a crew assignment to a night shoot and the cost moves with it.
Send the clean PDF.
Category subtotals only. The client sees the price. Your rates, your margin, your handling fees — they stay in your kit.
Above the line, below the line.
The same separation you write into the budget. Director fees aren't gaffer days. The math knows.
Crew that reflows with the calendar.
Assign a gaffer to day 4. Mark it a night. The budget moves. The margin moves. No double entry.
Equipment that earns its cost.
NEWPer-item investment recovered. Days billed across all your projects. Dead-stock callouts for the kit that hasn't paid rent.
A PDF that won't betray you.
Categories totalled. Internal rates hidden. No 'and here's our markup' line item.
Roles for real teams.
Admins run the workspace. Producers manage projects. Freelancers see their call times and their own role — not your profit.
- A1We don't invoice. Your accountant has tools for that — keep them.
- A2We don't replace your line producer. The judgement is still yours.
- A3We don't model VAT or tax. Slatewise is for quoting and scheduling. Different problem.
- A4We don't let the spreadsheet lie to you. That's the whole point.
