WalkieCheck

WalkieCheck is a SaaS tool for film directors and assistant directors who are tired of running production walkies on Excel sheets. Every shoot involves dozens of two-way radios assigned to crew across departments — sound, camera, lighting, props, ADs — and tracking who has what, when it was issued, and what came back broken has historically been a manual headache. WalkieCheck turns that chaos into a single dashboard. The project required a deep understanding of the domain and a meticulous approach to user experience design. We needed to build something that was not only visually stunning but also incredibly fast and reliable at scale.

We built WalkieCheck as a two-portal Next.js web platform — a public marketing site at walkiecheck.app and the core data explorer / admin dashboard where assistant directors track, assign, and manage production walkies in real time. Departments, crew members, project records, condition reports, and overdue returns all live in one PostgreSQL database via Prisma. Better Auth handles sessions, role-based access separates ADs from contributors and admins, and the dashboard surfaces the four key counts (total walkies, assigned, broken/missing, overdue returns) every production cares about. Live since 2026.
