Creative Studio ERP

Manage Every Booking, Shoot, and Delivery in One Calendar

Stop losing shoots to scheduling conflicts and revenue to billing chaos. Manage every client engagement — booking, contracts, gear, proofing, and delivery — in one platform built for working creative professionals.

Problems We're Built to Solve

These aren't edge cases — they happen every day in operations like yours.

Double-Bookings That Cost You Clients

Google Calendar doesn't know about your second shooter or your equipment schedule. Conflicts get discovered on the morning of the shoot — when it's already too late.

Invoices Chased over WhatsApp

You send a PDF invoice via email, follow up three times over six weeks, and still occasionally write it off. Manual billing destroys cash flow and professional relationships.

Gear Conflicts Discovered On Shoot Day

The 70–200mm that was supposed to be in your bag is sitting in another photographer's car two cities away. Equipment isn't tracked — until it's too late.

Contracts Are a Word Doc in Someone's Email

Usage rights and licensing terms buried in paragraph seven of a contract nobody can find six months later. Disputes are expensive — and avoidable.

Client Proofing Over Dropbox and Messages

You share a Dropbox folder, the client annotates over WhatsApp, and you lose track of which selects are final. Gallery delivery becomes a multi-week thread.

No Idea Which Shoots Are Actually Profitable

Without job costing, your best-looking packages and your worst ones look identical on the bank statement. You are probably underpricing your hardest work.

"Booking conflicts used to happen at least twice a month. Since moving to the platform we have had zero — not one — in 14 months. Our clients love the gallery experience, and we have gone from chasing payments for 5–6 weeks to being paid within 3 days of delivery."
