The back office

The back office for media businesses.

Sotto Studio is where the team runs the business: every order, shoot, edit and invoice, from booked to paid, on one screen.

01

A Today screen that runs itself

Every shoot, every edit waiting on QC, every delivery and every unpaid invoice, live. Orders move along on their own as photographers arrive, editors hand in and clients pay.

  • Shoots, edits and unpaid invoices at a glance
  • Search across orders, clients and addresses
  • Messages on each order, with @mentions
02

A pipeline from booked to paid

One line for every order, the same for everyone. See what is booked, being edited, waiting on QC, delivered or paid, and pass a job to another editor in one step.

  • Booked, editing, QC, delivered and paid columns
  • Pass a job or add a helper editor
  • Frame-accurate comments in QC
03

Scheduling and the map

Working hours, time off, service areas and drive times decide the open times clients see. Every shoot sits on a calendar and a map.

  • Open times by photographer and drive time
  • Trip fees by distance
  • Day and week views on a phone
04

Catalog, pricing and pay

Packages, add-ons, prices by home size, categories with on-site times, and pay per job for every photographer and editor.

  • Prices by square footage
  • Packages and add-ons
  • Team pay per period
05

Invoices and payments

Invoices go out with the delivery, cards are kept on file through Stripe, and QuickBooks Online stays in step.

  • Stripe cards on file
  • QuickBooks Online sync
  • Statements and late fees
FAQ

Sotto Studio, answered.

What is Sotto Studio?

Sotto Studio is business software for media agencies: photo, video and content teams. It runs the whole job in one place: online booking, scheduling, the shoot, editing and quality checks, delivery to the client, invoices and payment.

Does each company get its own data?

Yes. Every company runs on its own deployment with its own database. Clients, orders, files and prices are never shared with another company.

Does it work with QuickBooks, Stripe and Dropbox?

Yes. Payments run through Stripe with cards on file, invoices sync to QuickBooks Online, and every order gets a Dropbox folder named the way you like. Google Calendar, Gmail, Mux, Twilio, CubiCasa and AutoHDR connect too.

Can Sotto Studio work out prices by home size?

Yes. Services can be priced by square footage bands, with on-site time that grows with the size of the home, and travel fees by distance.
