A fast-moving environment that demands flawless coordination
Producing a drone show isn’t just about flying drones. It’s about synchronizing dozens of constraints: rehearsals, safety procedures, technical setup, on-site logistics, regulations, permissions, artistic reviews, and flight timelines.
With hundreds of productions running simultaneously, Dronisos struggled to maintain visibility into what was happening, who was scheduled, and how each project was progressing.
They needed:
- Schedules that stay accurate even when everything changes
- A macro view of all projects, updated in real time
- Smooth collaboration across departments
- A clear roadmap for every team member
- Centralized mission data to prevent mistakes
- Instant visibility on availability and workload
Ooviiz brought all these components together.
How Ooviiz transformed Dronisos’ operational workflow
Build schedules that stay accurate — even when everything moves
Drone productions evolve continuously. Even shows planned months in advance require ongoing coordination: assigning teams across locations and dates, allocating drones to each project, and aligning timelines between choreography, technical setup, safety, logistics, and administrative tasks. With so many departments involved, Dronisos needed a system that keeps everyone aligned and working from the same real-time information.
Ooviiz helps Dronisos:
- Replace a mix of tools — spreadsheets, Google Calendar, Monday.com — with one unified planning workspace
- Keep schedules updated as soon as something shifts
- See conflicts, gaps, and over-allocations instantly
- Maintain a clean, structured agenda for every project
This ensures nothing slips through the cracks — even during intense production periods.
Give every crew member a clear roadmap.
When managing missions across countries and time zones, clarity is essential.
With Ooviiz, each employee knows:
- What mission they are assigned to
- What tasks have priority
- Which deadlines and rehearsals matter most
The result:
Fewer questions, fewer mistakes, smoother operations. Everyone stays aligned, from production leads to field technicians.
