Invoicing & cart billing for DITs
As a DIT, you bill a day rate plus a cart that took years to build — the workstation, RAID, drives, and media. Slater keeps your labor and your cart rental on the same job so every invoice captures the full value you bring to set.
The problem
Cart fees vary by production, media and drives are often billed per TB, and backup shuttles pile up across jobs. When several productions overlap, tracking what you're owed — labor plus kit plus media — becomes its own full-time task.
What Slater does for DITs
Track day rate and prep — log labor per production, including prep and travel.
Bill your DIT cart — attach the cart, workstation, and RAID as a kit fee on the job.
Charge media and drives — itemize shuttle drives, media, and per-TB costs instead of absorbing them.
Save reusable packages — build your standard cart package once and reuse it on every quote.
See outstanding vs paid — a running total across every production, always current.
How it works
Add a job per production, log your days and your cart kit fee plus media, then generate an invoice at wrap. Slater keeps the paid vs outstanding tally for you.
