Six products. One client.
Each of them works. None of them can tell the others what just happened, and the part that cannot be automated is you, moving between them.
-
The enquiry
A suiteA form on a website builder, mailed to an inbox
One recordOpens a project, tags where it came from, and starts a thread on the record
-
The contract
A suiteA separate signing tool, filed in a folder
One recordA document on the project, and the stage moves when it is signed
-
The money
A suiteAn invoicing product that has never heard of the shoot
One recordAn invoice against the project, and a balance derived from a ledger
-
The shoot
A suiteA calendar that does not know what the job is worth
One recordA date that already carries its price and its deposit
-
The gallery
A suiteA delivery product, uploaded to a second time
One recordThe same photographs the record already knows about
-
The chasing
A suiteWhichever of the six you remember to open
One recordOne screen that says what is waiting on you, in order
The difference is not features
It is that the enquiry becomes the project, the project sets the money, and the money state gates the gallery. Nothing is retyped, because nothing was ever in two places.
