FARMERS WIFE SOFTWARE

Then we’ll switch gears and learn how Farmers WIFE can help us with our facility management responsibilities. Farmers WIFE is a powerful and sophisticated scheduling and business management tool. Project Manager, Sophie Malten will be showing us a simple overview of how to use this multifaceted software to create projects, bookings, cost tracking, time tracking, invoicing and financial reports in the context of the post production world. She will also show us how this software handles a media library (vault), labeling and dispatching and how it will help us increase productivity and streamline our workflow. Now that’s something we can all use a little more of!
