Category: About Badger

Badger is an progressive web app that can be accessed on any internet-enabled device. It consists of a front-end interface used on handheld devices by your crew and a powerful back-end admin interface for the production and covid departments. Badger helps your crew minimize time spent on tedious and repetitive Covid agendas such as everyday health checks and the entire Covid testing process. Badger gives Covid department real-time oversight of all of your crew’s health, test results and vaccination status. With just a few clicks, Badger coordinates testing across multiple testing sites and quickly and securely distributes Covid test results. Everyone  is connected in one powerful directory with photos, validated phone numbers and emails for improved communication among your team. You can also use Badger for lunch orders.

Yes! Badger is an online service so you can use it anywhere you are online. You can try out Badger free of charge to see if it suits your needs. You do not need to install any additional software. All you need is the gear everyone already has – computers and phones. The best thing is to get your producer, production team and Covid department together to have a chat about how Badger will speed-up your work so that you can focus on the important stuff.

Yes and no. As of now, the key language used to navigate the Badger app and the admin interface is English. However, email templates, the health check questionnaire and lunch menus can be modified to any language or be multi-lingual, in case you’re shooting with a crew from various countries.

Short answer – about a week.

Longer answer – it takes about 2-3 days to set-up your subdomain (whatever-name.badger.id) and project details along with logos and badge designs. We also need to carry over legal wording of Covid testing and GDPR waivers for your project – these are the terms users agree to during onboarding. We can also customize the email templates Badger sends our to your crew. We should be able to ship our hardware to you within a week, depending on your location. Once that’s done, we’d like to spend some time with your key personnel and walk them through the whole system so that your team gets the most out of Badger and they are comfortable using it.

To get started, let us know the following:

  • Your production and project names
  • Who is your Production Coordinator and Head of Covid
  • When do you start prep, when will you start shooting and when are you expected to wrap
  • Does your project have a logo?
  • Where will you be prepping and shooting?
  • How many crew do you expect to have on your project?
  • Do you already have a lab that you’d like to work with?
  • Do you put pineapple on your pizza?
