News Crew Tracker was designed and reviewed by journalists and photographers. It's a website and app that works on computers and smartphones and automatically shows live updates of what's happening with staff movements and assignments.

• Every staff member (or alternatively just the chief of staff) can see who is closest to an assignment and how long it will take them to get there.
• Get live updates about who's working on which assignment and how much progress has been made.
• Send group messages to alert everyone instantly. Instead of no one or everyone rushing to breaking news, ensure the right people are sent.
• A user's phone will vibrate and they'll get an alert when they receive a new assignment or details of their current assignments change.
• Staff can stay logged in 24-7 so they can be located for overnight call outs. Alternatively staff who want privacy can set the app to automatically disconnect at a set time each day.
• News Crew Tracker can just be used to locate staff on a map. Or it can also become a constantly updating assignment management tool to replace newsroom whiteboards and shared documents.
• Your newsroom will get its own password protected group so competing media outlets can't get access. If any unwanted person does get access they can be instantly seen and removed.
• The only cost to a newsroom is one flat fee per month. Staff login for free.
