Compare

Rank crew members, compare two side by side, or compare your productions against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.

Track

Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Staging, Rigging & Set-Up skills need attention. Reports also follow each head of department's production.
