DaftarPay for Film & TV plans a production's budget, releases funds per schedule, and settles crew, locations and post houses without losing the cash-versus-invoice split. Quote the work, release funds in stages, let vendors file bills through their own portal, and pay straight from the app — with every rupee, tax line and dispute accounted for.
A quotation becomes a released budget, a vendor's bill lands in the stream, and a payment run debits your account.
Every engagement starts as a line: the vendor, the category, the cash half and the invoice half. Approvals sit on the line, so a rejected quotation can never be billed against.
Vendors sign into their own portal and file against the lines you assigned them. Tax carves out automatically, multiple rates and all. Disputes carry a reason and a paper trail.
Tick the entries, pick the rail — NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, UPI, bank transfer or cash — and settle in one action. The debit shows the exact account before you commit.
The shape of the work changes; the money problem does not. A budget, a set of vendors, staged releases, invoices that arrive out of order, and taxes that differ by state and country. Pick the version built for your industry — the language, the onboarding and the reports follow.
Break the work into subprojects and planning lines. Each line is an envelope: what it's for, which vendor, and how much is cash versus invoice.
Decision-makers approve or reject each quotation. Funds are released in stages, so nothing is committed before it's needed.
Vendors submit invoices and cash entries from their own portal against the lines you assigned, with every applicable tax attached.
Clear a whole vendor in one payment run: pick the entries, see the tax carve-out and the balance after payment, and send it.
Real projects run on both. Every quotation, entry and report keeps the two halves distinct so nothing is quietly untraceable.
Request, approve and release against the plan. Available balance is always visible at the moment you authorise a payment.
GST, IGST, VAT, sales tax and withholding — several on one invoice if the jurisdiction demands it, carved out per rate.
Contest an entry with a reason and an owner. Ageing is tracked, and repeat offenders show up in the review history.
Acceptance ratios, spend by payment method, open risk by vendor and category, tax by country, and how long each stage really takes.
Executive producers, accounts managers, line producers — or whatever your team calls them. Invite, assign and audit.
No more invoices over email. Vendors sign in to a portal scoped to exactly the lines you assigned them, file bills with the right taxes attached, and watch each one move through review to payment. When something is contested, the reason is on the record instead of in someone's inbox.
Free through the beta — unlimited projects, unlimited members, and the vendor portal included.
