The online Platform for supporting artist agencies

Features

  • Integrated Accounts

    From chitess to automated invoicing and payments, we’ve got you covered. Export financial information to Xero, automate artist payments via BACS and submit reports to HMRC. Our Dashboard snapshots help you keep an eye on business at a glance.

  • Chitless/Paperless

    Offer film and television productions a state of the art chitless/paperless solution linked directly to your agency. Allow 2nd Assistant Directors to effortlessly check in, wrap and cost their supporting artists. The effortless but comprehensive workflow keeps everyone up to date with electronic copies sent to artists, agency and production accounts when a day wraps.

  • AutoCalc

    With a single click, AutoCalc works out overtime for all supporting artists, along with their basic day rates and allowances automatically using official PACT and BBC rates. Full support for holiday pay, public holidays, supplementary fees and allowances and used successfully in thousands on thousands of booking dates.

  • Custom Rate Cards

    Extend your bookings beyond supporting artists with custom rate cards to book chaperones, tutors and child artists, walk on upgrades, commercials and corporate work. Set up daily rates for each and automatically calculate overtime and travel allowances.

  • Team with Productions

    Make it easy for your production clients. Chitless is great but extend the workflow to producers, wardrobe and makeup and the accounting team. They’ll appreciate the 24/7 access to manage your artists on set and with last minute changes. Accounts will love the estimating tool and directors can preview artist showreels if they’re thinking of a walk-on upgrade.

  • Payments in a Flash

    You have a weekly pay run to do and hundreds of artists to pay. With a single click, commissions are deducted, and BACS transactions are sent securely via Smarterpay. But you’re always in control. With direct access to Smarterpay, you have the final say when funds are paid out.

We Grow with You

Our platform follows a “Software as a Service” model. If you’re just starting out, maybe even just a 1 or 2 person business, you won’t have to worry about an upfront software cost. We’ll grow together and only charge a small subscription fee based on commissions. And it is a lot more competitive than what you might expect.

no middle man

Production companies are your clients, and it should stay that way. Unlike with some other solutions, we don’t get in between you and your clients and financial transactions. We support you in your processes and help you grow those relationships and business.

  • — FRED VAN STRYDONCK - SISTER PICTURES

    I absolutely love the AMS system. It speeds up the process considerably and it uses a lot less paper, which I’m such a fan of. I’m really liking the reports I receive.

  • — DAISY CATON-JONES - 2ND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR

    It's very helpful and efficient.

  • — KATE SELBY - 2ND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR

    I found the system very easy to use and I could find everything I needed even after only a short crash course in how to use it!

  • — ANDREW FOSTER - 2ND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR

    I like the way that you can put an entire crowd call and sign off together with comparatively few clicks
