Obstin · Software and labor for live production

Software we built because we had to run the show.

Obstin is a holding company with two working divisions. Labor puts crews on show floors across five markets. Software turns what those crews taught us into products: scheduling and timekeeping, client portals, and venue operations.

The name comes from obstinare, to stand against. Every product started as a tool we needed and could not buy, so we wrote it and ran our own operation on it first.

Obstin / Software

Operations software, proven on our own floor

Three products, each built inside a working labor company and used on real calls before anyone else sees it.

Tinds, Gantline, Marquee →
Obstin / Labor

United Entertainment Solutions

Nationwide staffing and installation crews for experiential venues, attractions, and live events. New York, Atlanta, Orlando, Los Angeles, and Dallas–Fort Worth.

Obstin / Software

Three products, one origin

None of these came from a whiteboard. Each one replaced a spreadsheet, a group text, or a subscription that did not understand how a show day actually runs.

Crew scheduling · Call sheets · Timekeeping

Tinds Available

tinds.co

Build the shift plan, confirm the crew, print the call sheet, clock the hours, and send a clean file to payroll. Priced per company, so a 115-person roster costs the same as a 15-person one.

  • Calendar shift plans with roles, headcount, and per-role rates
  • Printable call sheets and production schedules
  • PIN kiosk and phone clock-in, overtime and break rules applied
  • Roster import from the last system you gave up on
  • Estimates, job close out and team chat on the Production plan

Client portal · Project sequencing

Gantline Sandbox open

gantline.co

A client-facing booking and project coordination tool for companies that deliver work on site. Clients book through your form, see only their own projects, and follow the sequence from quote to strike. We built it to replace the generic project tool we were paying for.

  • Public booking forms that land as projects, not emails
  • Board and list views, with each client seeing only their own work
  • Role-segregated access enforced at the database, not just the screen
  • Docs, custom fields and encrypted site credentials

Venue and attraction operations

Marquee Custom built

marquee-app.com

A guest and operations app built to order for a venue or attraction: tickets, point of sale, schedules, and the daily running of the building, installed as a home-screen app under your own name. Each deployment is configured for the property it runs, from the operating needs of the venues we staff.

  • Point of sale and ticketing for the front of house
  • Daily operations board for the back of house
  • White label from day one, with your brand on every screen
  • Runs on a tablet or phone, no app store required

How we build

Run it ourselves first

We are not a software company that found a niche. We are a labor company that got tired of tools built for restaurants and warehouses and sold to production.

Dogfood before demo

Every product runs our own operation before a customer touches it. If it fails on a show day, we feel it first.

Priced for how the work actually pays

Crew counts swing every week. Our products price per company, not per head, so you can keep everyone on file.

Your data leaves with you

Full backups and plain CSV exports from every product, any time, no request required.
