How it works

From zero to fully staffed in three steps.

CrewdUp replaces the spreadsheets, group texts and manual emails your team is drowning in right now.

1

Every production detail, in one place

Create the event with venue, call times, timezone, contacts, stream details and notes. Or bulk upload a whole season from CSV.

2

Assign positions, send invites automatically

Pick crew for each position and CrewdUp emails the invite. Crew confirm or decline in one click, with no account needed.

3

Confirmations, gear and reports, nothing slips

Watch confirmations come in, send reminders, pack the gear and send the tech book. Then report on the whole season.

Events

See every production your way.

Calendar, list and spreadsheet views of the same events. Filter by state, sport, season, gender and level.
