What it saves you

How the parts work together

  1. Enquiry to booking: Add the client and a project at Enquiry → Send a proposal from your packages → Tick contract signed and issue the retainer
  2. Shoot to delivery: Create deliverables with due dates → Move through the editing queue → Add the gallery link and mark delivered
  3. Get paid: Issue the final invoice → Chase anything in "Overdue"
