Budget overruns don’t happen overnight. They creep in – a day’s overspend here, an unlogged purchase there – until suddenly you’re explaining to a commissioner why you’ve blown the contingency.

Built for the realities of TV production

MotionHub’s built-in budgeting tools are designed for the realities of TV production. Create budget lines, log actuals, raise purchase orders, and track spend across every department – all within the same platform where your production is being managed.

But what makes this genuinely powerful is what happens when Claude or ChatGPT is in the picture.

Just ask about your numbers

Ask Claude or ChatGPT: “How does our actual spend compare to budget on Project X?” or “Are there any budget lines running close to their limit?” – and get a clear summary instantly, without needing to export a spreadsheet or wait for your accountant to run a report.

Claude or ChatGPT can also help you draft PO notes, summarise cost reports, and flag potential issues before they become problems. It’s like having a financial producer on call, 24/7.

Infrastructure plus understanding

MotionHub gives you the financial infrastructure. Claude or ChatGPT helps you understand it – fast.
