“Changing our scheduling software to SwitchCrew has been a great move for us. It’s very easy to track who is available and when, and the text and email alerts have helped cut down on absenteeism greatly.”

A capable system. A user-friendly product.

We built SwitchCrew because broadcast scheduling is messy: late changes, long call sheets, and people who need a clear yes/no more than another complicated tool. Its simple design helps your crew show up ready and in sync.

Questions, answered

Straight answers. No jargon tax.

SwitchCrew was built with college broadcast production crews in mind, but can be used by any event crew needing availability, assignments, and alerts in one place.

No. Most people mark availability, accept assignments, and check their calendar. Text and email links open the exact screen they need.
