Bespoke Development

  • Kinetic Impulse offers custom development to modify PECS Tools Suite to specific requirements

 

Save Time & Money:

Rapidly generate and distribute detailed Shot List specifications. Bureaux and customers no longer need to endlessly sift though reams of Spreadsheets to develop pre-productions, log studio sessions, and manage data assets. PECS Tools Suite is an easy to use set of applications that encompasses all aspects of Data Production Pipeline.

Increasing productivity for both the customers and the bureaux by removing many of the organisational tasks that waste valuable time and money, and allowing people to concentrate on the job of creating great Data. PECS Manager constantly monitors the progress of multiple projects allowing bureaux to flexibly alter production workflow to maximise capacity.

Multiple Customers

Multiple Customers Simultaneously:

Customers using Shot (List) Generator Wizard can send their specifications directly to service bureaux running PECS Manager.

A bureau can rapidly assess project requirements before quoting and/or accepting the job. Once accepted, the

project automatically enters the bureau's pipeline including all requirements (e.g. shot list, performers, props, stunt equipment, data formats, delivery methods).

 

Maximise Technology Investment:

On-set studio time needs to be used at full capacity to maximise investment. Bureaux running PECS Manager can instantly switch from one project to another and change shooting priorities to accommodate flexible schedules and short notice customers.


Increase Productivity:

Use team members to their full potential. Assign tasks to post production staff and monitor their workflow for quality and performance. Use Data Analysis tools to asses the quality and post-production complexities of every shot, and Assignment tools to allocate them to the appropriate staff.

Remote Network

Available in stand-alone and network modes, PECS Tools Suite can co-ordinate remote teams in different locations around the world. For example, a bureau may have its facility in one country, two post-production teams in others, and the customer in a fourth.

 

Reduce Errors & Improve Customer Relations:

Built in Quality Control and Delivery tools enable bureaux running PECS Manager to guarantee an unprecedented level of quality assurance to their customers. Using Shot Generator Wizard and PECS Manager together customers and bureaux can be confident that all shots are completed accurately and delivered according to specification.
