Invoicing for DITs and crew

Invoices for crew, done before you leave the set.

I work as a DIT on commercial shoots as well as shooting my own, so this part of BidWrap is for the day rate, the kit fee and the parking receipt: quoted fast, invoiced from your phone, and chased for you if it goes unpaid.

Quote, work, invoice.

  1. Quote the job

    Your day rate, your kit fee and any travel, from your own rate list. Type the days in plain words, prep, shoot and wrap, and they are counted for you.

  2. Keep the receipts

    Photograph the fuel, the parking and the hard drive you bought for the job. They are read for you and added to the invoice, with your markup if you add one.

  3. Invoice and get paid

    Turn the quote into an invoice in one click and email it from BidWrap. Switch on reminders and late payers are chased in your own words.

Made for working on other people’s shoots.

Your kit on your invoice

Charge for the cart, the monitors and the drives as kit hire, alongside your day rate, under their own heading.

Prep and wrap days

Prep, travel and wrap days are kept apart from shoot days, so you can charge them on their own line at their own rate.

Reminders that chase for you

Unpaid invoices you emailed from BidWrap are followed up before and after the due date, in wording you choose.

See when it was opened

Know when the production opened your invoice, so a "we never got it" is easy to answer.

Euro for jobs across the border

Invoice an Irish production in euro and a UK one in pounds, with the right VAT and the right bank details printed.

On your phone

BidWrap runs in your web browser, so the invoice can go before the van is packed.

Questions

Is this only for DITs?

No. It suits any freelance crew who bill a day rate: assistants, gaffers, digital techs and camera crew, with or without their own kit.

Which plan do I need?

Solo covers estimates, invoices, reminders, receipts and a register of the kit you own. Pro adds kit hire tracking if you rent kit out as well.

Does it do my accounts?

Keep your books in FreeAgent, Xero or whatever your accountant uses. BidWrap handles the quoting and invoicing side, and each quarter gives you one download for your accountant.

Can I invoice a production company that gives me a purchase order?

Yes. Add the purchase order number to the job and it prints on the invoice.
