Everything a show needs, connected

Win the job

Studio & up

DarkHorse Deal Desk

  • ✓Upload a 40-page RFP. AI pulls the dates, scope, mandatory requirements and red flags, estimates your cost, and gives you a bid / no-bid call.
  • ✓One click writes the proposal, with Good / Better / Best packages so the client chooses how much, not whether.
  • ✓The client signs online and pays the deposit up front by card. The job books itself the moment it's paid.
  • ✓A pipeline board with a revenue forecast, win rate and “follow up today” flags.

Plan it

Pro & up

Production Timeline & crew

  • ✓Milestones counted back from show day: venue lock, program freeze, final run of show, call sheets out.
  • ✓Overtime, double-time and venue-curfew warnings, with the overtime cost before you commit to the schedule.
  • ✓Move load-in and every crew call time moves with it. Crew get a “what changed” email and re-confirm with one tap.
  • ✓Offer a role to five people at once. The first yes is booked, the rest are released. Double bookings are flagged across shows.
  • ✓Clone last year's show, from timeline to crew plan to budget, onto the new date in one click.

Stop chasing paperwork

Pro & up

Paperwork & compliance

  • ✓Send vendors a link. They upload their COI, W-9 or permit with no login, and the certificate is checked against your insurance minimums the moment it lands.
  • ✓Automatic reminders before the due date, and a clear “submitted” vs “accepted” status.
  • ✓Drop in any permit, deal memo or contract. Workhorse reads it and tracks the deadline for you.

Call the show

Studio & up

Show Caller

  • ✓One live rundown from your run of show: over/under on every segment, “running 8 min late”, and a moving end-time forecast.
  • ✓Crew open a link on their phone, see only their department's cues, and tap “Standing by” before you call GO.
  • ✓Wire it to a Stream Deck through Bitfocus Companion. Log notes live, and get an AI show report when you're done.
  • ✓Plus Director Mode, Cue Light and Green Room inside Zoom for hybrid and virtual shows.

Get paid, up front

Pro & up

Money

  • ✓Payment schedules that collect the full balance before show day. Clients get pay links, reminders go out on their own, and you hear if one's late.
  • ✓Snap a receipt on your phone. AI reads it, files it to the right budget line and updates actual spend.
  • ✓Margin tracked live against your target, change orders the client approves online, and QuickBooks-ready exports.

Keep the client close

Pro & up

Client Room & Command Center

  • ✓One branded link per client: schedule, what you need from them, payments, approvals, cuts to review with revision rounds counted, and final downloads.
  • ✓On show day, the client sees live “on time / running late” status. An optional Friday update emails them automatically.
  • ✓Every Monday, owners and producers get an AI briefing: the three things at risk this week, and what to do about each.
