Solution: The producer sees coverage warnings and the team calendar, and agrees cover or new dates before approving.
Outcome: The production stays on track.

Can you integrate with production management tools?

Can we include freelancers?
Redstone is designed for employees. Freelancers can be added as users if they need to see the calendar or book time off.
