Cirkus overview

What is Cirkus?

Cirkus is a scheduling and task management software developed by Farmerswife, a company with over twenty-five years of experience in post-production workflows. The platform serves as a comprehensive solution for businesses that depend on collaboration to accomplish work, with particular emphasis on media teams managing complex production and post-production processes. The system enables organizations to assign, track, and manage resources and projects through a centralized interface, bringing structure to intricate workflows that require coordination among multiple team members.

The software functions as a central collaboration hub where teams can coordinate resources, share files, and communicate effectively. Users can create custom templates to replicate successful workflows, instantly improving operational efficiency across projects. Cirkus brings clarity to planning processes and establishes clear task ownership within teams, allowing managers to track project status and team members to report time spent on assignments. This level of organization helps media and creative production teams maintain transparency throughout their project lifecycles.
