Job tracking & invoicing for freelance grips
Whether you're a key grip with a truck or working best boy and dolly, your gigs mix a day rate with a pile of rental gear. Slater keeps the labor, the truck, the dolly, and the expendables together so nothing slips off the invoice.
The problem
Grip truck rentals, dollies, and rigging hardware get billed differently on every production. Rates change, expendables add up, and by wrap it's hard to remember what you actually put out. Invoicing shouldn't require detective work.
What Slater does for grips
Track labor days and rate — log your day rate per production, including prep and travel.
Bill your grip truck and dolly — attach truck, dolly, and rigging rentals to the job so the full package invoices at once.
Itemize expendables — sandbags, tape, and rigging consumables show up on the bill.
Save reusable packages — build your standard grip package once and reuse it on every quote.
See outstanding vs paid — a running total across every gig, always current.
How it works
Add a job per production, log your days and the grip package you're renting them, then generate an invoice when the gig wraps. Slater keeps the paid/outstanding tally for you.
