Hello,
FlyFoot.
Your crew is half the business.
It deserves more than a tab inside a warehouse tool.
Every major tool in production was built around inventory: gear, racks, trucks. Crew got bolted on later as tags, contacts, and calendar widgets.
Hyss is the opposite. Crew is the entire product.
Built by the people
who've been on the truck.
Austin and Dor, Hyss's two co-founders, both work in live event production. We didn't survey the industry to design this.
We built the tool we wished we had every time we had to staff a show.
Software that respects your time.
And your crew's.
Hyss is a crew management operating system for AV production companies. Events, staffing, call sheets, invoicing, reports. Your entire crew-side workflow in one place, built around the way production actually moves.
Three minutes, end to end. Or keep scrolling for the highlights.
Built just as carefully for your crew.
The employers great freelancers come back to are the ones whose tools their crew actually likes. Hyss can be a useful multitool for your crew across every gig they take, on a FlyFoot job, on another Hyss employer's job, or anywhere else. Availability, invoicing, calendar sync, the works.
Same job.
Two ways to do it.
RentMan is good at what it was built for: warehouse and equipment. That's exactly why we're not asking you to replace it. We're focused on the half of your operation it was never designed for: crew.
Setting up an event
- Events are called "functions"
- Default time runs midnight to 8AM
- Tag-based categorization, not industry terms
- Long list of statuses to wade through
- Events are events
- Industry-standard terminology by default, customizable when you need it
- Sensible defaults you can override in seconds
- Five clear event statuses, each with one obvious purpose
Staffing it
- No positions attached to crew members
- No rates attached to crew members
- Conflict tracking lives somewhere else entirely
- Positions and rates baked into every crew member
- Double-bookings caught before you book
- Cross-employer holds and personal calendar conflicts surfaced (privacy-safe)
- Competency mismatches flagged with exactly what's missing
Sending the call sheet
- Variable system that doesn't reliably apply on the actual doc
- Hard to share, harder to read
- Generated in a few clicks from the event you already built
- One live shareable link that updates with every event change
- Per-position call times, venue, weather, sun, contacts, all auto-populated
Keep RentMan.
We'll talk to it.
Your gear stays in RentMan, where you already manage it. Our upcoming RentMan integration pulls equipment straight into Hyss for invoices and auto-generated call sheets, no double entry.
You keep your warehouse workflow. We handle crew. The seam is invisible.
You asked.
We shipped.
From our first call with Ashley, three things came up that you needed. All three are live in Hyss today. Not roadmap promises, not "coming soon."
Certifications & licenses
Tracked per freelancer with expiry dates and alerts. Get warned before a CDL or insurance cert lapses. Not the morning of load-in.
Employer-side competency overrides
Your read on what a freelancer can really do, separate from what they self-report. The truth, in the assign modal.
Three smart ways to send offers
Auto-circulate through your roster, blast first-come-first-served, or open a crew call. Pick the mode that fits the moment.
View-only users are free. No setup fees, no per-freelancer charges. That's the whole pricing model.
Software partner,
not software vendor.
You just saw the three things from Ashley's wishlist we've already shipped. Here's what's landing next:
This isn't a roadmap promise. It's how we work.
You'll have a direct line to the founders.
White-glove onboarding.
Populated from day one.
When you're ready to switch, your existing roster and venue data gets imported for you. You don't start with an empty account. You start with FlyFoot's account.
