What Plero is

The business side of creative work, with the next step clear.

Plero brings the operational side of a creative company into one place. Every client, project, contract, invoice, contractor, and follow-up stays tied to the job it belongs to, so the next step is clear without digging through a stack of tools.

Start with a lead, turn it into an estimate, move into a signed contract, invoice the work, pay the people who helped ship it, and see what changed. Plero keeps the whole path connected.

See the operating layers

One system for the four sides of creative companies. Operations, new business, money, talent.

Creative companies are where work and intuition meet. Plero gives that work somewhere to live.

Meet Chloe

Chloe is the operating intelligence inside Plero.

Ask what changed, what needs attention, and what has to move next across clients, projects, contracts, invoices, and contractors.

Operations

The company's operating layer.

Operations is where the company’s relationships live. Clients, contacts, projects, contracts, and the active engagements that tie them together, kept current and visible to the people who need it. The client portal is part of it: a branded surface your clients return to for the work in flight, the invoices they have, and the contracts they have signed.

New Business

From first call to signed estimate.

New Business is the engine that turns a lead into work the company can actually do. Pipeline tracks every opportunity through the stages your team uses, with the value, the probability, and the next action attached. Estimates draw on your past projects, your contractor rates, and your company’s pricing patterns, so the bid you send is grounded in how your business actually charges.

Financials

Where the money is, was, and is going.

Financials covers invoicing, expense tracking, recurring services, contractor bills, and the reports that tie them together. Plero connects every dollar to the work that earned it, so when a number changes, it changes everywhere it should. Reports answer the operating questions of the business: revenue by client, margin by project, what is outstanding, who you have paid this year.

Talent OS

The other half of your company.

Talent OS is the contractor side of Plero. Onboard a contractor through a single branded link that collects the W-9 and the agreement in one pass. Assign them to projects. Track their time. Approve their bills. Prepare year-end payment summaries. The contractor sees a portal that matches your brand. Creative companies rarely ship the work alone, and Talent OS is built around that reality.

Welcome, Sarah!

We're excited to have you join Juniper Studio

Let's walk through a few quick steps to get you set up.

Juniper Studio Talent Portal

Built around how creative companies actually work. Photographers, small shops, freelancers, agencies.

By the work you do

The same Chloe. Four kinds of creative companies.

Chloe works the same way across every kind of creative team. What changes is the scenarios: what gets booked, what gets billed, what gets contracted, what the operations call sounds like. Start with the one that sounds most like your work.

Shoots, galleries, hourly billing, licensing fees.

The work runs in shoot blocks and gallery deliveries. Chloe pulls the right hourly rates onto the estimate, drafts the licensing language for the contract, and keeps the invoices moving against the shoots they belong to.

The reports the business actually runs on

Revenue, margin, what is outstanding. From the same system the rest of the company runs on.

Reports answer the operating questions of the business: revenue by client, margin by project, what is outstanding, who you have paid this year. Same data the invoices and the contractor bills come from, so the numbers move together when the work does.

Strong quarter. Revenue is up 18.8% and margins improved significantly. The shift toward larger projects (Halcyon, Arcline) is driving both metrics. One thing to watch: contractor costs grew 22%, faster than revenue.

Why Plero

Built for creative companies building everything else.

Plero is built for creative companies. The photographers, small shops, freelancers, and agencies where the work is the work, and the operation is what you do between the work to keep the business running.

We built Plero around what creative companies actually need. One system for the relationships and the projects. One operating intelligence, Chloe, for the work that runs on top. And one place the founder, the team, and the contractors all draw from.

The money

See what came in, what is still out, and what every job is worth.

Plero keeps invoices, payments, overdue balances, and project margin in the same operating view as the work behind them.

plero.ai/reports
Pricing

Plero starts at $39/mo, or $29/mo when billed annually at $348/yr, and tops out at $129/mo. Every tier includes Chloe. The right tier is shaped by what your business is doing right now, by what you are juggling, not by how many users you have.
