Everything between the call and the payment.

Bids that win

Estimates from your own rates and kit list, with usage, crew and expenses under clear headings. Revisions keep their history, and clients approve online.

Invoices in a click

The approved estimate becomes an advance or a final invoice. Payments are tracked, and anything unpaid is flagged before the gear goes out.

Receipts that read themselves

Photograph a receipt or drop in the PDF. The supplier, date, tax and card are read for you, sorted into the right category and linked to the job.

Your accountant, sorted

Each quarter, one download: sales invoices, receipts, statements, a draft VAT or GST return and a spreadsheet with anything to check already flagged.

Kit that earns its keep

Every light, camera and stand has a rental history. See how often it goes out, what it has earned and when it paid for itself.

All your businesses

Photography, studio hire, rental and DIT side by side under one login, with a clear sign of which one you are working in.

Built by a photographer who runs a studio and a rental business.

BidWrap started as one photographer’s replacement for a desk full of tools: a bidding app, a spreadsheet of kit, a shoebox of receipts and an end of quarter scramble for the accountant.

It is shaped by forty years of commercial shoots, studio days and kit going out of the door, so it works the way the trade does: by the job, by the day and with the gear on the estimate.

Set up for the UK, Ireland, Canada and the US, with your own tax rates and currency.

Moving from Blinkbid takes an afternoon.

  1. Export your jobs list

    Every job, client and contact comes across in one go, archived jobs too.

  2. Add the PDFs that matter

    Drop in your estimates and invoices, or a zip of them, and each one is rebuilt line by line.

  3. Match your kit

    Old line names are linked to your catalogue, so years of rentals count towards what each item has earned.
