Production tools for Film & TV lighting: QuantPlot for plots and patch, QuantCrew for scheduling and labour, QuantRecce for recce capture and order lists. Built on the floor, native on iPad.
Q-01 · Lighting plots & patch
Draw the rig on the grid, patch it from your own fixture library, and hand over the paperwork the floor actually wants.

Plot
Drag a fixture onto the plan and it snaps to the grid. Build a row, mirror it, array it, and the whole rig follows. No menu-hunting, no drafting degree — just the plot, the way you'd sketch it on the floor.

Library
QuantPlot ships with a built-in library of fixtures, machines and rigging apparatus — ready to drop straight onto the plan. Add your own items alongside them: your symbols, your codes, your stands and specials.

Fixture library
Import your own custom fixture library straight from a grandMA2 export, then set each fixture to the right mode. The real channel footprints drive the patch — the addresses you hand over match the desk.

Paperwork
Set your own universes and channels, and QuantPlot generates a fully custom patch sheet to match. When the patch is locked it goes with you: grandMA2 patch XML straight into the desk, fixture labels onto A4 for the prep floor.

Loads
QuantPlot keeps a running tally of the rig's weight and spreads the power across your phases as you build — so you can see where the load sits before the truck arrives, not after it's hung.
Selection tally — kg & heads
Every type counted & weighed
Amps at 230 V, phase by phase
Per-fixture feed — L3 · 87 A

Q-02 · Scheduling & labour
Plan the rig and shoot schedule, track your core crews — then turn the whole run into a production-ready labour-days spreadsheet, gathered automatically from the schedule you already built.

Schedule
Build the rig and shoot schedule side by side — pre-rig, rig, shoot and de-rig on one timeline the office and the floor can both read. Then print it A3 and pin it to the wall: the board is laid out to be read at arm's length, on paper, mid-job.

Crews & labour
Keep your core crews and line-ups in one place, backed by a labour list — the pool of people you actually call. Allocate them across the run and the board fills itself, so it's always clear who's on, where, and when.

Labour-days · the headline
This is the heart of QuantCrew. Everything you've already built — the schedule, the crews, the dailies, the claw-backs — is gathered automatically into a labour-days sheet and exported as a production-ready Excel spreadsheet. No retyping, no late-night totting up: press export, send it to production.

Finances
A financial summary that builds itself from the board — labour totals, man-days and a blended £ per man-day, split by crew, location or department, week by week. Check the spend before production asks, and hand over the report card or the full Excel workbook when they do.

Q-03 · Recce capture & order lists
Record the recce on site, then turn your scribbled shorthand into a clean order list automatically — learned and saved to your account, so it gets quicker every job.

Capture
Walk the location with your phone and capture it as you go — the spaces, the power, the access, the rigging points. Notes land against the place they belong, not in a notebook you'll be decoding on the drive home.

Order lists
Type the shorthand you already use — 4x s60, 2 windup, 63a — and QuantRecce turns it into a clean order list automatically. It learns your shorthand and saves it to your account, so it gets quicker on every job.

Planning
Turn what you captured into a plan for the day — where the truck parks, where the power runs, what goes in first. The floor arrives already knowing the answers, and the day starts moving instead of starting with questions.
