Tinds runs the part of live production that spreadsheets and group texts keep breaking: building the shift plan, confirming the crew, printing the call sheet, clocking the hours, and getting a clean file to payroll.
Per-company pricing. A 115-person roster costs the same as a 15-person one.

Running live at United Entertainment Solutions across New York, Atlanta, Orlando, Los Angeles and Dallas–Fort Worth.
We built Tinds because we run crews for a living and nothing on the market understood a call sheet.
Workforce software is built for restaurants and warehouses, then sold to production. It has no idea what a load-in is, why a Crew Head earns a different rate than an Electrician on the same call, or why a night premium starts at midnight.
Tinds started as the tool UES used to run its own five-market operation. The call sheet, the production schedule, the overtime and break rules, the roster import from the last system you gave up on: every feature exists because a real crew needed it on a real show day.
You are buying the tool a staffing company built for itself, not a generic scheduler with an "events" template.
Nothing here is a bolt-on. Each piece feeds the next, so the roles you plan become the crew you confirm, the sheet you print, the hours you approve and the file you send.
Click a day, name the event, add roles with counts and rates. Multi-day projects get Day 1 of 4 automatically. Duplicate an event to any date, with or without its crew.
Ask the roster who can work before you assign. Crew confirm or decline from their phone; the calendar shows filled, partial and open at a glance.
One click prints a real call sheet: general call, wrap, weather and sun, crew grouped by role with open slots shown, next call, payroll rules, and In / Out / Initials columns for the clipboard.
Six-digit PIN clock-in on a tablet at the site or on each phone. Managers see who is on the clock live and can force out anyone who forgot.
Daily overtime threshold, multiplier, double time, night premium window, coffee and meal breaks. Set once, printed on every call sheet, applied to every timesheet.
Review, edit, approve and export hours by date range, site and person. Detailed CSV or a payroll-ready file, rates already attached per role.
A crew in Los Angeles and a crew in New York on the same day, each seeing their own local call time. Addresses and directions on every event.
Rough out roles, hours and rates for a bid and turn the winning estimate into a real event.
Import the export from your current system, blank continuation rows and all. Every field round-trips back out as CSV, so your data is never trapped.
This is the order a show actually runs in. Tinds follows it instead of making you fight it.
Date, site, call and wrap, roles with headcount and rate. Or load a saved template.
Send a one-tap yes/no to the people who fit. Assign from the ones who said yes.
Crew get the shift on their phone and confirm it. Declines show up red so you can refill.
Weather, contacts, crew by role, next call. Hand it to the Crew Head.
PIN kiosk or phone. Breaks and overtime calculated by your rules.
Fix the stragglers, approve the week, send the file to payroll.
Every company sets its own. These are the defaults a new workspace starts with; change any of them in Settings and they print on the next call sheet.
Rates live on the role, not the person. The same electrician can be an Electrician at one rate on Tuesday and a Crew Head at another on Friday, and the timesheet knows which.
Managers, admins and crew are separate levels. Crew see their own schedule, availability and time card. Managers see everything for the company. Nobody sees another company.
Your data is exportable at any time: a full JSON backup from Settings, the roster as CSV, timesheets as CSV. If you leave, you leave with everything.
Bring a call sheet from last week. We'll rebuild it in Tinds while you watch, then hand you the login. Thirty minutes.
