Display management

Every display, enquiry to reviewed.

A ten-stage status workflow, a drag-and-drop firing sequence builder with NEQ/HT rollups, and a GeoJSON site-plan editor on every venue.

The display record

Prospect → Verbal Confirmation → Pending → Booked → Designed → Picking → Ready → Fired → Reviewed

Every display moves through a typed status workflow modelled on how UK display companies actually run a job. Transitions are validated, so a display can’t skip from Prospect straight to Fired.

Enquiries are first-class records too — the “convert to display” flow turns a qualified enquiry into a booked display with the relationships intact, and enquiries that don’t land are marked Lost with a reason category. Annual shows take one click: clone last year’s display, design and all.

Every display can hand the client a permanent booking page — they confirm the date and price online, and per-field Date-confirmed / Price-confirmed flags surface on the record.

  • Ten-stage validated status workflow
  • Enquiry → Display conversion built in; lost reasons tracked
  • Clone a show for repeat and annual events
  • Client booking page with online date + price confirmation
  • List view + calendar view + CSV export, card lists on mobile

Firing sequence + BoM

Drag-and-drop design with NEQ and HT rollups

The design page is a drag-and-drop builder for cues, sequences and modules. You build the show visually, the BoM aggregates the products you’ve used, and NEQ + HT totals roll up automatically as you go — so you know what the magazine has to issue before you’ve finished the design.

  • Drag-and-drop cues + sequences + modules
  • AI paste-a-list: paste a product list, get BoM lines
  • Per-display BoM aggregated from the design
  • Auto-summed NEQ and HT totals + ADR load-points check
  • Linked to live stock so you can see what you have

Show day

Print the pack, pick on a phone, sign it off

When the design is done, print the show pack: a BoM / pick sheet for the magazine and a firing order with product codes, sizes and a layout column for prepping. Or skip the paper — the Pick & Prep flow runs on a phone in the store, big text and high contrast, with an explicit sign-off when the pick is complete so nothing leaves half-checked.

On the day itself, the display record has an on-day view with the contact details that matter, tap-to-call. And every display carries a Weather tab: site weather alongside the Met Office Fire Severity Index outlook for the venue’s 10 km square.

  • Printable show pack: pick sheet + firing order with layout column
  • Mobile Pick & Prep flow with explicit sign-off
  • On-day contact view with tap-to-call
  • Site weather + Fire Severity Index outlook per display

Financials

Real margins on every show

The Financials tab gathers the money side of a display into one place — payments in a single card, costs from the design and the stock actually used, and the real margin on the job. The show-margins report and financial-year view roll it up across the season, including an estimated fuse-and-ignitors line so the consumables don’t hide in the numbers.

  • Payments in one card per display
  • Real margin per show from design + stock costs
  • Show-margins report across the year
  • Financial-year stock / COGS view

Venues + site plans

A GeoJSON site-plan editor on every venue

Every venue is a re-usable record. Each one can carry a full GeoJSON site plan with firing areas, crowd barriers, safety zones, distance markers, access pins and notes — drawn on a map, attached to the venue, available on every display you do there.

Each show can also carry its own copy of the plan — start from the venue plan, adjust it for this year’s layout, and export it as an image for the event pack. Issues + reviews from the H&S module link back to the venue, and a Fire Severity tab shows the site’s outlook, so you build up a picture of every site over time.

  • Re-usable venue records with GeoJSON site plan
  • Per-show site plans — tweak this year’s layout without touching the venue plan
  • Crowd barriers, firing areas, safety zones, distance markers, access pins, notes
  • Image export for the event pack
  • Linked H&S issues + reviews and fire-severity outlook per venue

Common questions

What does the status workflow look like?
Ten stages: Prospect → Verbal Confirmation → Pending → Booked → Designed → Picking → Ready → Fired → Reviewed, with Cancelled available at any point. Each transition is validated, and enquiries that don't land are marked Lost with a reason category so you can see why business slips away.
Can it build a firing sequence with cues and modules?
Yes. The display design page is a drag-and-drop builder for cues, sequences, modules and a per-display BoM. NEQ and HT totals are summed automatically as you build, an ADR load-points check watches transport limits, and you can paste a plain-text product list and let AI turn it into BoM lines.
Can I print what the crew needs on the day?
Yes — every display has a printable show pack: a BoM / pick sheet for the magazine and a firing order with product codes and a layout column for prepping. The Pick & Prep flow also runs on a phone in the store, with an explicit sign-off when the pick is complete.
Does it track money on each show?
The Financials tab gathers payments in one card and shows real margins per show, backed by a show-margins report and a financial-year view. Formatted PDF generation for quotes, contracts and invoices is on the roadmap.
Are risk assessments tied into the display record?
Health & safety issues + reviews can be linked to a display today (see the H&S feature page), and every display carries a Weather tab with site weather and the Met Office Fire Severity Index outlook. Full risk-assessment + method-statement documents with template inheritance and digital sign-off are on the roadmap.
