Import your job history and gear in minutes
The dreaded part of trying any new tool is re-entering everything you already have. Slater skips it. Point it at your past jobs, gear list, packages, or expendables — as a PDF, a spreadsheet, or pasted text — and it builds your job history and inventory for you.
Three ways to bring your data in
PDF — read by AI: Drop in a rental list, kit PDF, equipment sheet, or job list and Slater's AI extracts each entry — names, quantities, rates, dates, and more — no manual entry.
Spreadsheet (CSV, Excel, Google Sheets): Upload your file and map your columns to Slater's fields once. It handles the rest.
Paste text: Have a list in an email or notes app? Paste it in and Slater parses it into structured entries.
What you can import
Job history — past jobs with titles, clients, dates, rates, and payment status, so your records and totals are complete from day one.
Gear — your full equipment inventory with departments, categories, brands, and daily/weekly rates.
Packages — existing rental or kit lists brought in as reusable packages.
Expendables — your consumables catalog with quantities and reorder thresholds.
How it works
Choose your source, let Slater read it (or map your spreadsheet columns), review the entries it found, and confirm. Your jobs land in your calendar and totals, and your inventory is ready to drop into packages, jobs, and invoices immediately — usually in a few minutes, not an afternoon of data entry.
Built for your role
Once your history and gear are in, Slater tracks jobs and invoices the way you actually work — whether you're a camera assistant, gaffer, grip, sound mixer, or DIT.
