Talymo

Talymo is production management software for audiovisual and event teams, combining gear inventory, crew scheduling, and callsheet creation. A job can hold dates, a location, client brief, crew, equipment, checklist, and callsheet. The gear library records each item's serial number, status, and location, and checks overlapping job dates for possible double-bookings. QR codes support checking equipment out and back in through a mobile-friendly workflow. Callsheets can be generated from job information and shared by link or downloaded as PDFs. Reusable Smart Bundles group equipment into kits, with contained items checked for conflicts when assigned. Internal staff can receive edit access; freelance crew can be given view-only access. Each job's readiness appears as Ready, Missing Items, or Not Ready based on gear availability and checklist completion. Talymo says it permanently logs every action on every asset. It is designed for production companies, rather than equipment rental businesses, and runs on Android, iOS, and the web. A free plan is available; paid plans start at €49 a month, and the homepage offers 14 days of Talymo Pro.

Talymo links equipment tracking with job planning and crew access for production teams. Compare the free plan's asset and bundle limits with the paid tiers before choosing a workspace.

Talymo suits AV and event production companies coordinating jobs, equipment, and crew. It is described as intended for production companies rather than equipment rental businesses.

Overview

Talymo is production management software for AV and event teams coordinating productions and their equipment. It is a stronger fit for production companies managing their own gear than for businesses centered on equipment rental. Its appeal is the connection between job planning, inventory and crew access; its practical ceiling depends on how many assets, kits and team members a workspace needs.

Key features

A job can bring together dates, location, client brief, crew, gear, checklist and callsheet information. That makes Talymo useful when production details and equipment assignments need to stay connected. The gear library records each item’s serial number, status and location, while checks for overlapping dates flag possible double-bookings when gear is assigned. These safeguards help teams coordinate shared equipment, though they do not change the product’s stated focus on production companies rather than rental businesses.

QR codes support checking gear out at collection and back in on return through a mobile-friendly workflow. Smart Bundles group recurring equipment into reusable kits, and Talymo checks the items within a bundle for conflicts. Together, those features can reduce repeated assignment work, especially for teams that prepare similar kits across jobs. Job readiness is shown as Ready, Missing Items or Not Ready, based on gear availability and checklist completion, giving teams a direct signal about outstanding preparation.

The callsheet builder draws on job data and lets users share sheets by link or download them as PDFs. Internal members can receive full edit access, while freelance crew can be given view-only access—a useful distinction for sharing schedules without extending editing rights. Talymo also says every action on every asset is logged permanently, which may suit teams that need an equipment history.

Pricing

Talymo has a free plan, paid monthly workspaces and an Enterprise tier with custom pricing. The homepage offers a 14-day trial of Pro, so teams can assess the higher-tier workspace before committing.

Personal Workspace is a no-cost way for a very small operation to start, but 10 asset items and 3 bundles are tight caps for teams tracking a substantial kit. Basic raises those limits and adds five team members, making it the more sensible entry point for a small production crew; it still limits inventory to 100 items. Pro costs €99 a month and expands capacity to 500 assets, 50 bundles and 25 members, while keeping checklist templates unlimited. Teams exceeding those ceilings, or needing custom integrations and dedicated onboarding, should consider Enterprise. The listed monthly plans are billed per month; the free workspace is billed forever.

Platforms

Talymo supports Android, iOS and web, giving teams mobile and browser access to production workflows.

Who it's for

Talymo is best suited to AV and event production companies that manage their own equipment across jobs and need connected scheduling, gear tracking and callsheets. It is less appropriate for businesses primarily renting equipment, since the product is built for production companies rather than rental operations. Workspace limits also make it important for growing teams to compare expected asset and member counts against each tier before choosing.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Job records link dates, crew, gear, checklists and callsheets, keeping related production planning together.
• Pro: Overlap checks, reusable bundles and QR checkout address equipment assignment and return workflows.
• Pro: View-only access for freelance crew offers a narrower sharing option than full internal editing access.
• Con: The free workspace caps inventory at 10 assets and bundles at 3, limiting its usefulness for a sizable kit.
• Con: Basic and Pro cap team membership at 5 and 25, respectively; larger teams need the custom-priced Enterprise tier.
• Con: Talymo is aimed at production companies, not equipment rental businesses, so rental-focused operators should look elsewhere.

Verdict

Choose Talymo if you run an AV or event production company and want job planning, equipment coordination, callsheets and crew access tied together. Its strongest reason to choose it is the equipment workflow, from overlap checks and reusable kits to QR checkout. Look elsewhere if your business is primarily equipment rental, or if your team’s asset and seat needs outgrow the caps of the monthly workspaces.
