What can ProdPerks Do for You? - A guide for Productions and Screen Companies

Improved discount platform - tailored for Productions and Screen Companies

ProdPerks is designed to do one very important thing for the screen sector: help you spend less on the things you already need, so more of your budget can either stay in your pocket, or make it onto the screen.

Get access to 90+ discounts! (...and growing!)

Screen Guild members already get ProdPerks included with their membership, but if you're running a short-term production filming project, managing an ongoing screen company, operating a post-production house, supplying the industry, or coordinating purchasing across multiple departments, ProdPerks also gives screen business a practical way to access exclusive industry discounts, supplier accounts, and everyday savings through one dedicated platform.

And now, it is getting even better.

A brand-new ProdPerks website is coming soon, and it has been built specifically to make account setup much easier for productions and screen companies.

The new site is currently in testing and will soon give the sector a clearer, faster, and more streamlined way to get onboard, select suppliers, set up accounts, add team members, and start saving.

Watch this space!

Built for the way productions actually work

Production purchasing is not always simple.

You may need hardware for art department, fuel cards for all departments, equipment hire, safety supplies, tech gear for production office, building materials for construction, or everyday discounts for crew.

On top of that, productions often operate through new project companies, fast-moving timelines, multiple buyers, temporary offices, short prep periods, and supplier credit requirements that can be difficult to navigate.

The new ProdPerks site has been built with those realities in mind.

Instead of leaving each production or company to start from scratch with every supplier, ProdPerks helps connect you with pre-arranged industry discount pathways and account setup processes designed for screen-sector use.

‍

Easier account setup is coming!

The new ProdPerks site has been created to make onboarding much easier for production projects and screen companies.

Instead of hunting through instructions, emailing back and forth, or trying to work out which supplier form applies to your situation, the upgraded process will help guide you through the setup pathway.

The new onboarding process is being designed to help you:

• Choose the correct subscription type
• Confirm your company or production details
• Select the PRO suppliers you want to access
• Identify whether you need cash, credit, trade, or voucher access
• Provide the extra information required for supplier account setup
• Add key team members and purchasing contacts
• Progress through supplier application steps more clearly
• Update your account through the new login process

‍

For suppliers that require detailed credit applications, the new process will help reduce duplication by using the information already provided during onboarding wherever possible.

That means less repeated form-filling, clearer next steps, and a much easier route from “we want to access these discounts” to “our supplier accounts are ready to use.”

‍

Why this matters for productions

When production accounts are not set up early, things can get messy.

Crew may end up purchasing at retail rates. Buyers may have to use personal cards or petty cash. Accounts teams may struggle to track spending. Fuel, hardware, and hire costs may be higher than they need to be. Supplier applications can stall because one field, document, or approval step is missing.

ProdPerks is designed to help reduce that friction.

By getting your production onboarded early, you can start setting up the supplier accounts you need before your crew are fully in motion.

That means your buyers can be ready, cards can be ordered, supplier portals can be activated, and the production can access stronger pricing from the start.

For productions working to tight prep schedules, that can make a real difference.

‍

Why this matters for screen companies

For screen companies, ProdPerks is not just a production-period tool. It can support year-round savings across your business.

A Screen Company subscription can help you reduce costs across regular operational spending, supplier purchases, staff or contractor access, office needs, technical supplies, vehicles, hardware, travel, and more.

It also gives your approved team members access to relevant discounts through one central platform.

For companies that regularly produce content, support productions, supply the screen sector, or operate within production infrastructure, ProdPerks can become a practical part of your business savings strategy.

Set it up once, add your team, activate the suppliers that matter to you, and keep saving throughout the year.

‍

Add your team and unlock more value

Productions and screen companies can add team members to their ProdPerks account.

This is especially useful for:

• HOD's
• Runners
• Buyers
• All other approved purchasing crew
• Office staff or contractors
  

‍

Each team member receives their own login so they can access the discounts relevant to them.

For team access to PRO supplier accounts, your production or company may also need to set up specific purchasing access directly with the supplier, such as cards, account permissions, fuel cards, trade portal access, or purchasing authorisations.

The new ProdPerks platform is being designed to make these steps easier to understand and manage.

‍
