Product
One app for your clients and your crew.
Your clients ask, book, sign, pay, and get their photos and films. Your crew pick up shoots, clock in, and get paid right. All under your studio's name.
Built for
Studios that book clients and bring in a crew.
Photo studios
Weddings, portraits, families, brands. Anywhere you shoot and an editor finishes the photos.
Video & content studios
Film crews, content teams, agency teams. From the first ask to the finished film, in one app.
Editors anywhere
Photo and video editors in any city or country. Same team, same app, same notes on the same photo.
The why
Most studios don't lose on the photos. They lose on the paperwork.
The quote is in one app. The contract is in another. The gallery is in a third. Crew hours are in a text message. By the time you add it all up, nobody knows who is owed what. bckendIQ keeps the whole job in one place, from the first ask to the last payslip.
What's inside
What happens, start to finish.
Six steps. One job. Nothing to copy between apps.
A client asks. You send a quote. They sign and pay on one page.
Your form and your price list sit on your own page. Someone asks about a shoot. Their name lands on your list. You send a quote. They sign the contract and pay the deposit on one page. The money goes into your own Stripe account. We take 0% of it.
- Pay by card, Apple Pay, bank transfer, or in parts
- Booking calls check your calendar and add a Zoom or Google Meet link
- Contracts drafted by AI or brought in from your own, signed online
The shoot opens. Your crew claim it and clock in.
Once the client has signed and paid, the shoot opens with crew slots. Your crew claim the slots they can work. On the day they read the brief and clock in. The app checks their hours against the hours you planned.
- Crew slots by job, and how many people you need
- Clock in and out on the day, from their phone, near the venue
- Extra hours count only when you say yes, and you write down why
You upload. Your client picks favourites and writes notes on the photo.
Upload the whole folder, camera RAW files included. Your client picks favourites. They write a note on the exact photo, or at the exact second of a film. Then they mark it approved or needs changes.
- Films stream at the quality their connection can handle, 360p to 1080p
- Photos download at the size you allow, with your watermark
- Guests scan a QR code and add their own photos and clips
Your editor fixes it. You check it. Then your client sees the new one.
Your editor sees the note and uploads a new version. The old notes stay on the old version. The new one waits on a staff-only board until your team moves it on. Then your client sees it.
- A note on version one never lands on version two
- Timeline, board and list views for every job
- See how many hours each editor has on their plate
Every client has one link for everything. No account.
Every event, gallery and film you have made for a client sits behind one link. They never make an account. Before they sign or pay, we email them a six-digit code. If they forward the link, the other person can look, but cannot sign or pay.
- Your studio’s name and logo on every page, email and link
- Six reminders go out on their own, from contracts to galleries about to close
- Email campaigns and a list of people who asked, in your branding
Hours worked become an exact amount and a payslip.
Each person’s hours become an exact amount, to the cent, and a payslip. bckendIQ does not send the money. You pay the way you already do, then mark it paid. You see what came in, what is owed, and which jobs made money.
- Staff get a weekly score sheet, 1-on-1s, goals and monthly payroll
- You choose who can see the money screens, section by section
- Install it on your phone and get a ping on the day, from the venue
The point
What changes once it's in place.
- One app instead of five.
- Every client has one link, and never an account.
- Everyone is paid the right amount, with a payslip.
