What this service handles

Every production day generates runs. A piece of wardrobe from a store, a signature from a producer across town, a replacement part, a prop that was not on the list.

VaultPac dispatches these as movements with proof at both ends, offered to the nearest available operator rather than pulled from the crew. The production keeps its people on set.

It is the same runner capability used at airports and FBOs, applied to a production schedule.

How VaultPac coordinates it

Every booking is a trip. A trip carries trip services, and each service breaks into the individual movements that actually have to happen — which is why the people and the bags do not have to travel the same way.

  • Operator assignment

    Movements assigned to a specific operator and vehicle, with the assignment visible to dispatch throughout.

  • Timed offer & backup routing

    The preferred operator is offered the movement first and has a window to accept; if they do not, it moves to the backup pool automatically.

  • Proof of pickup

    Time, place and who released the item, captured at collection.

  • Proof of delivery

    Time, place and who received the item, captured at delivery.

  • Dispatch monitoring

    Every movement on one board while it runs, so a late arrival is seen rather than reported.

  • Masked communication

    Passenger and chauffeur reach each other without either holding the other's number.

What runs this movement

Assignment reads the passenger count and the bag count, so the vehicle that arrives fits both. Larger movements run several.

Why VaultPac for this

  • The production's own people stay on set instead of driving across town.
  • Every run is documented, which matters when the item is billed to a department.

Questions

Can runners be booked for a whole shoot day?

Yes, as an as-directed block rather than run by run, which is usually cheaper and always faster on a day with several.
