During the season, a show's information travels through a WhatsApp group here, a text there, a call nobody wrote down. The changed rigging time sent to one crew member never reaches the other; the subcontractor asks for the venue manager's number you have already given three times. Six months later, when a client disputes something, there is no way to find who said what and when. And work conversations get mixed up with holiday photos.
PyroDesk messaging brings your collaborators and subcontractors together inside the application, in real time. You have private conversations, groups — one per show, per crew or per topic — and a general feed for what concerns everyone. Because the exchanges live in the same place as the files, a message can be found six months later. Messages sent by a client from their portal, for their part, land in the relevant file view, so you reply with the context in front of you.
Friday 13 July, 2 pm. You create the group 'Saint-Just show 14/07' with the two pyrotechnicians, the seasonal hire and the subcontractor bringing the truck. You post the updated firing plan, the meeting time brought forward to 4 pm and the rack positions. At 3:30 pm the seasonal hire asks where to park: the answer is visible to everyone. The next day, the general feed announces the weekly debrief. Nobody had to look for a phone number.
