For production companies

Bids, crew, vendors,
and the job ledger.

Plero keeps production companies organized around the actual job: estimate, client, crew, vendors, deposits, invoices, approvals, and wrap.

What this is

Production work has too many moving parts to fake it.

A production job can carry a director, DP, producer, location, stylist, permits, equipment, edit, insurance, deposits, and a client approval path.

Plero gives the company a single operating view so estimates, crew, vendor costs, client invoices, and margin stay connected from bid through wrap.

The job stays legible from first bid to final invoice.

Bids

Production estimates with the crew built in.

Crew days, equipment, location fees, art department, post, and contingency can live inside the estimate before the client approves the scope.

Build a three-day launch film bid with DP, gaffer, stylist, location, edit, color, and 12% contingency.

Jobs

From awarded bid to wrapped production.

Once the work is awarded, the project holds the production calendar, budget, crew, client, invoices, and open approvals.

Open the Onda Athletics job and see shoot dates, deposit status, crew assignments, and remaining post budget.

Ask Chloe inside the same Plero shell.

The chat is not separate from the system. It reads the same client work, money, scope, and team context shown on the page.

Onda Athletics has a $96,500 launch film bid submitted and $36,000 still open. The live job has line producer prep approved, but the Metro Camera House package is still submitted.

Crew

Your roster ready to staff.

DPs, gaffers, stylists, editors, sound mixers, and producers stay in a usable roster with rates, paperwork, and past jobs.

Assign the same colorist to the Onda and Redwood jobs, with rate and onboarding already handled.

Payables

Crew and vendor bills against the right job.

Contractor invoices and vendor bills land against the project they belong to so approvals, budget, and year-end reporting are not separate chores.

Approve the gear house bill only after Plero confirms it matches the awarded production estimate.

The win graduates

The signed contract turns the bid into the job.

The bid moves through New Business — Pipeline, Estimates, Contracts — until the client signs. Then the engagement graduates into Projects carrying its whole story: the awarded estimate, the crew plan, the deposit schedule, every note from the pursuit. Nothing re-enters. Nothing starts blank.

Onda signs the launch film contract and the job opens with the $96,500 bid, crew lines, and contingency already attached to the production.

The tier

Most production companies need Ultra.

Production work usually means real crew and vendor operations. Ultra opens Talent OS and contractor bills, which is where production complexity lives.

Questions

What production companies ask before they move into Plero.

Specific answers for this kind of work, so the page is useful before anyone starts a trial.

Can a production company migrate active jobs without losing context?

Plero migration supports CSV/XLSX files and common exports, with mapping, validation, and review before import. For production companies, the practical path is to bring over clients, jobs, invoices, crew or contractor lists, vendors, and historical costs in clean stages.

What can Chloe do around bids, crew, and wrap?

Chloe can help review estimate details, answer which crew or vendor costs are attached to a job, surface unpaid invoices, and summarize where a project stands. She is strongest when bids, projects, invoices, and contractor bills live together in Plero.

Can producers use Plero context from Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Connect Plero to compatible AI clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Codex. A producer who already drafts or reviews in an external AI client can use Plero context there instead of copying job details manually.

Does Plero replace call sheets or production scheduling tools?

No. Plero is the company operating layer around production work. It keeps the financial, client, crew, vendor, contract, and reporting context organized around each job.

The soft landing

Name your studio, set your invoice and signing identity, activate Chloe, make your first move — a two-minute setup wizard, then four hands-on Meet Chloe missions that put her to work on your real data.
