Dane- Thanks for your recommendation. Podio is a good solution for smaller organizations and nonprofits. We built Cheetah BMS for mid-size to larger companies capable of handling any number of events per week. For example, I don't believe Podio offers barcode scanning for equipment, staff...

Agreed. Most smaller organizations will find it overkill if there's just a few events a year. However, a few years down the road, it might be critical if they're doubling sales and number of events.

Amiers- Most smaller organizations can get by with spreadsheets or Access, but when you start needing barcode management, having multiple warehouses, dozens of warehouse employees, and dozens to hundreds of simultaneous events nationwide, etc. you start to outgrow those basic systems. This...

We're in the process of developing cloud-based business management software for the AV, fireworks, and production industries. I've owned a mid-sized fireworks and special effects company for 8 years, but am also a partner in a business tech consulting company. We haven't been able to find a...

Glad you took a look. They really don't need to be complex. Simple = better. Less to go wrong. You can pop an ematch with a 9v battery. Most poeple have the theory of, only use a computer when it's necessary. To some degree, in our business, it's a selling point to say your system has been out X...

:) Ask away. I do indoor and outdoor shows. I'm happy to help and answer questions. You'll be an expert by the end of this thread!

No waits or delays. The computer doesn't care what it shoots. Through complex scripting programs, you design a show and it exports a file that is then imported into the firing console/firing system. So the script might look like:FireTime....Module....Pin 02:15.231...1..........23...

Still not getting the comparison. It's just so difficult to compare burning fuse and lights that use cables.Timecode is just audio beeps and clicks that a computer can read to get a time from. It's totally independent from the firing commands.A firing system has script installed that says...

No worries. Garden State followed all industry practices and procedures. They just made a dumb errror in the process. Difficult to prevent the type of mistake they made. It's more of a company by company procedure. Think of it as more of a typo. Sometimes people will make mistakes.Yes...

I really didn't want to post this video, but this probably shows it better than anything. This is not me, my company, or my video. Safety is a little lax in my opinion. They were doing a demonstration for employees. Not using this as a safety video, so don't address that. Just showing you what...

They were placed on the shells. For some items one ematch is used (chains and cakes). I'll use the firecracker example again. If I wanted to light firecrackers electronically (and I have), I use one ematch for a roll of 16k. You're suggesting the equivillant of placing an ematch on EVERY single...
