Legacy Stack vs. Unified OS
For decades, productions have stitched together a budgeting program, a scheduling program, a casting vendor, a paperwork app and spreadsheet accounting — then paid in duplicated data entry. The Inteprods Production OS replaces the patchwork with one suite on one database, where every module feeds the next.

The legacy way
Six logins. Six exports. Copy-paste between all of them.
In the Inteprods OS, the script breakdown feeds the schedule, the schedule feeds the call sheet, the crew on the call sheet feed start-work packets, timecards feed the payroll ledger, and the ledger feeds the budget. Change anything upstream and everything downstream updates — no re-entry, no version drift, no "which file is current?"
What the legacy approach asks of your production team — and what the OS does instead.
Legacy stack
Desktop-era budgeting software. Fixed templates, manual version control, exports by email.
Inteprods OS
Live budgets linked to days, globals, fringes and actuals. Change a shoot day and the budget follows.
Legacy stack
Separate scheduling tool. Stripboard and budget live in different programs with no shared data.
Inteprods OS
Script breakdown, stripboard and calendar in the same database as the budget and call sheets.
Legacy stack
Rebuilt from scratch each day, or exported as PDFs from another module and emailed around.
Inteprods OS
Generated from the schedule, scenes and crew roster in minutes. Auto-filled sunrise/sunset and weather.
Legacy stack
A casting vendor handles scheduling; your notes, holds and DOOD live in spreadsheets.
Inteprods OS
Full casting workflow — sessions, in-room timers, holds, DOOD and a self-tape portal, in the suite.
Legacy stack
PDFs emailed for signature, then filed by hand in a drive somewhere nobody can find them.
Inteprods OS
Deal memos, releases and agreements generated from project data and signed with built-in e-signature.
Legacy stack
Production accounting in spreadsheets; payroll data re-keyed by hand from a third party.
Inteprods OS
Timecards, petty cash, POs, invoices and a payroll ledger that flow straight into the budget.
Legacy stack
On-set paperwork app that only some departments use. Start packets chase people by email.
Inteprods OS
Start-work packets pushed to crew through a self-service portal with W-9 and document uploads.
Legacy stack
Desktop-first software with a mobile view as an afterthought. Reviewers get printouts.
Inteprods OS
Mobile-first OS with a director's companion app — capture, review and sync from set to production.
Legacy stack
Nothing. If you need on-set capture, wireless video or media audits, you buy more vendors.
Inteprods OS
Optional companion apps for capture, media audit and live streaming — wired into the same project.
Legacy stack
Enterprise contracts, per-seat licensing and modules billed separately by each vendor.
Inteprods OS
Transparent monthly tiers — pick a plan, add only the modules you need, cancel anytime.
Union payroll is a licensed, regulated service — and we don't pretend otherwise. Keep your payroll provider. Clarice captures the hours, fringes and deal terms at the source, tracks them against the budget in real time, and hands your accountant or payroll processor a clean, audit-ready ledger instead of a re-keying project.
The legacy toolkit grew by acquisition — separate products, separate logins, separate data. Familiar isn't the same as connected. The productions you admire on screen still run on copy-paste between programs.
The Inteprods OS handles multi-project studios, unlimited-user plans and full audit exports. Scale is about the data model, not the age of the logo — and ours was built as one database from day one.
You should. Keep the payroll processor you trust; Clarice tracks timecards, fringes and remittances and hands your accountant a clean ledger instead of a re-keying project.
Every module of the Inteprods Production OS is free to try for 7 days — budget, schedule, cast, sign, track and report, all in one place.
