Question 1

Can Filmo book a room and its equipment together?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's the core of it. When a studio is booked, its lighting package, kit and crew are reserved with it in the same calendar. The schedule finally says which fresnels went where, so the same package can't be promised to two shoots on one day.

Question 2

Can clients book and pay without going through sales?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Producers reserve the room, sign the contract and pay through a self-service portal — DocuSign and Stripe are wired in. Your team handles exceptions and upsells instead of routine back-and-forth, and only confirmed, paid bookings land on the calendar.

Question 3

How do technical packages work?

Accepted Answer

Build a package once — 'half-day commercial', 'live broadcast', 'photo studio' — and attach it to any quote in a click. The same kit list ships every time instead of being retyped, which is how forgotten items and inconsistent pricing disappear. Update the package once and every future quote picks up the change.

Question 4

Can crew be scheduled automatically with bookings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hosts, riggers and on-call techs are tied to booking types, so the on-call rigger is auto-paged the moment a relevant booking lands. Crew scheduling stops being a group-chat message someone misses — and call times come from the calendar, not memory.

Question 5

What is the best venue and studio booking software?

Accepted Answer

The best venue software books the room, the gear and the crew as one thing. Filmo does that in a single calendar, adds reusable technical packages and a self-service portal with payments and e-signature, and reports utilization per room — which space earns, which sits empty.
