Operations

The studio's operating record.

Clients, contacts, projects, contracts, and the active engagements that tie them together — one record, kept current, visible to the people who need it. The work that runs the studio runs from here.

What this is

Operations is where the studio's relationships live. Every client you have worked with, every contact attached to them, every project in flight, every contract signed and every one in draft. Plero keeps one record per thing, kept current as the work moves through it. Your team sees the slice they need. Your clients see the branded portal that holds their work. Chloe reads across the whole record and returns what you ask.

What's in it

The records and the work that runs against them.

Clients

The studio's client record. Names, billing entities, contacts attached, projects attached, contracts attached, invoices attached, the full history in one view. Search by half a name. Filter by status, by stage, by amount owed.

Contacts

People at the client side. Decision-makers, accounting contacts, the producer you actually email. Each contact tied to its client. No more digging through email to remember who signed off on the last brief.

Projects

Every engagement the studio takes on. Budget, status, dates, assigned crew, the work delivered against it. Projects roll up into client history and feed the financial reports — so the numbers move when the work does.

Contracts

Templates for your most common engagements. Variables that pull from the client and the project. E-signatures inside Plero. Renewal drafts that pull from the previous year. Every signed contract attached to the client and the project it governs.

Client Portal

The branded surface your clients return to. Their work in flight, the invoices they have, the contracts they have signed, the deliverables you have shipped. Your studio name, your colors, your domain. Not somebody else’s software with a tenant flag.

Activity feed

The studio's running log. Who edited what, when. When a contract went out, when an invoice cleared, when a project status changed. The audit trail your accountant asks about — and the answer to “what did we do for them last quarter?”

Chloe in this domain

Real interactions. Real classes of work.

Find Arcline's open balance, active projects, and the last touch.

She returns the client record with the unpaid invoices, the projects in flight, and the most recent activity entry — assembled in one answer.

Draft the renewal contract for Arcline at the same scope as last year.

She picks the template, pulls the variables from the last contract on file, and queues the draft for your review.

Find every project that has been quiet for more than two weeks.

She returns the project list with the last-activity dates and the people on each — ready for the follow-up.
