    Why productions choose GreenSlate over Cast and Crew

    Error icon

    Cast and Crew:

    Limited tech + inconsistent service = highly inefficient

    Fragmented Ecosystem: 9 separate applications (e.g., PSL+, Start+) built on legacy desktop platforms make operations complex.

    Cumbersome User Experience: Multiple log-ins and import/export steps slow data access and management.

    Limited Digital Capabilities: Initially built for paper, scans, and PDFs, preventing efficient, end-to-end digital workflows and requiring third-party solutions for key features.

    Disconnected Support: Separate specialized teams may lead to potential inefficiencies and confusion when issues arise.

    The GreenSlate difference:All-in-one efficiency and responsive service

    Cast and Crew:

    Complex fee structure with additional costs

    Added Module Costs: Charges additional fees for DPO and a tech fee.

    Third-Party Software Fees: Requires productions to pay for missing features via third-party software.

    Operational Costs: Productions may require additional staff to manage manual data entry due to a lack of automation and non-integrated systems.

    The GreenSlate difference:Cost-effective and transparent pricing

    We take a consultative approach and offer two employer pricing models, Agency and EOR, to ensure the best value for your production. Our straightforward pricing includes all necessary software in the base payroll fee and offers reporting services with no additional costs.

    What our clients are saying.

    "The problem with Cast & Crew is that it just feels like a replacement for paper. What you have with GreenSlate feels like the first actual DIGITAL workflow, and makes everything so much easier."
