Budget. Plan. Produce.
One connected platform for the entire production lifecycle.
Professional media productions require clear financial and operational oversight, but information is often scattered across spreadsheets, tools and teams.
Tubes brings budgeting, planning and production together in one platform, connecting budgets, actual costs and forecasts in real time. From development to wrap, everyone has a shared view of what has been planned, what is happening and where the production stands.
-
Budget
Build, manage and refine your production budget with confidence.
-
Plan
Turn your budget into a connected plan for people, resources, schedules and costs.
-
Produce
Keep production moving with real-time visibility of costs, commitments and performance.
AI assistants help draft budgets and proposals, spot spending patterns and flag unusual costs, giving production teams more time to focus on making the production happen.
Budget
From a first draft to a budget everyone has signed off
Build the budget from your own templates and rates, copy an earlier one, or let AI suggest a first draft that you check line by line. Work with globals such as the number of episodes or shoot days. Change one value and every line that uses it follows. Save each version, put budgets side by side to see what changed, and name who has to approve it before it goes out.
More about budgeting in Tubes. You can also start with budgeting only.
Plan
People, locations and schedules in one plan
Schedule cast, crew and locations on one calendar, per week or per month. Keep everyone aligned by sharing schedules and call sheets through the Tubes app.
Produce
Costs, invoices and the forecast in real time
Invoices are reviewed, approved and passed on to your accounting system, such as Xero. Commitments count before the invoice arrives, so you always know where the production stands.
Got Xero? Supercharge it.
Keep Xero. Add Tubes. Connect production and finance.
Tubes connects directly with 
Xero, adding a powerful production layer to the accounting system you already use.
Manage budgets, costs, commitments and forecasts in Tubes, while financial information flows seamlessly into Xero. Production gets greater visibility and control, while finance keeps working in the system it already knows.
