Talent OS

The other half
of your studio.

The contractor side of the studio, in the same workspace as the rest. Onboarding, assignments, time, bills, 1099 reporting, and a branded portal the crew returns to.

What this is

The crew side, in the same workspace.

Most studio operating tools stop at clients and projects. Plero keeps going — through the contractors who actually do the work with you. Onboard them through a branded link. Assign them to projects. Track their time. Approve their bills. Generate their 1099 at year-end.

They sign into a portal with your studio name on it. Their assignments, their hours, their bills, their tax documents — under your brand. You see one operational system that holds both halves of how the studio actually runs.

The producers and the crew on the same system.

Contractors

Every contractor you've worked with, in one library.

Specialty, past projects, rate range, current workload. Search by specialty. Filter by availability. The roster you actually staff from when a project needs people — not the rolodex you have to reconstruct each time.

The Volta campaign needs a 3D artist. Filter the library — three options come back ranked by past project fit.

Onboarding

One branded link collects the W-9 and the rate.

Send the contractor an invite under your studio name. They confirm their rate, upload their W-9, sign the agreement, set their payment details — in one flow. They appear in your library with everything you need to staff them on a project the next day.

Send onboarding to Maya Singh at $125/hour. She accepts. She's in the library, ready for assignments.

Assignments

The contractor's side of the project.

Scope, rate, dates, deliverables — assigned to a specific contractor on a specific project. They see it in their portal. Their time logs against it. Their bills attach to it. Their deliverables hang off it. One place, both sides of the engagement.

Assign Maya to the Arcline website project, Mar 4–Apr 2, at her library rate. She sees it on her end the moment you save.

Bills & 1099

The money side of the crew, matched and reconciled.

Contractors submit bills against their assignments from their portal. Bills that match cleanly get approved in one pass. Bills with line items that don't match the scope get flagged for review. Year-end, the 1099 export rolls up contractors paid over $600 and flags missing W-9s.

This week's clean bills approve in one pass. The two flagged ones wait for the producer to resolve.

Talent portal

The professional surface your crew returns to.

Your studio name. Your colors. Their assignments, their hours, their bills, their tax documents, their payment history — under your brand. A space that says you take the crew side of the operation seriously.

And Chloe

She staffs from your library, not from scratch.

Ask Chloe to pull three 3D artists who could take the Volta campaign. She reads your library, filters by specialty and current workload, and ranks them by past project fit. Send onboarding from the conversation. Approve clean bills in one ask.

The tiers

Talent OS unlocks on Ultra.

When the crew side is the operation — multiple contractors, multiple projects, year-end tax reporting that matters — Ultra is the tier that opens it up.

Launch$29/mo annual

Talent OS is not on Launch. The Launch tier is sized for solo and small studios where the contractor side is not yet the operational concern.

Open
Scale$59/mo annual

Talent OS is not on Scale either. Scale is shaped for the new-business side — bidding, estimating, pipeline.

Open
UltraRecommended$99/mo annual

Full Talent OS. Contractor library, onboarding, assignments, time, bills, 1099 reporting, talent portal, team management. The tier shaped for studios where the crew side is the operation.

Open
The rest of Plero

The crew side connects to every other side.

Assignments tie to projects in Operations. Bills become expenses in Financials. Chloe staffs from your library and approves bills from the conversation.

Operations

Where project work lives.

Clients, projects, contracts — the producer side of the same workspace. Assignments tie to projects here.

Financials

The other side of the ledger.

Bills become expenses. 1099 reporting rolls up at year-end. Reports connect the contractor spend back to the projects that earned it.

Chloe
