The CRM for your trade
The CRM built for videographers
Without Standin
On a shoot, you cannot answer. The video project goes to an available videographer.
With Standin
Standin builds a CRM made for videographers: every case, from the first request through to delivery, in your own words. When a project takes all your attention, it answers your leads and keeps each file up to date, so no request goes unanswered.
Free plan, no credit card required.

Built for how videographers really work
Ordinary client-tracking software is designed for salespeople. For videographers, it misses the point: you are not running a sales funnel, you are running cases that move over several weeks. Standin starts from your trade and sets up the steps and fields that actually matter, like "Type of project" or "Date".
The copilot takes over when your hands are full. It reads your emails and messages, answers everyday questions in your tone, and fills in the client's file before you have even reached for your phone. You review, you approve, and nothing is sent without your agreement.

“Hello, I am writing on the recommendation of a friend who worked with you. I have a project in mind but nothing is written down yet. Could we talk it through?”
Reply drafted by the copilot
“Hello Emily, of course, and thank your friend for me. A first thirty-minute call is enough to frame it; I then send you a written proposal, with no commitment. Are you free late Thursday afternoon?”

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Standin answers
Can I follow a project from brief to final cut?
Yes. Your stages run from the brief to delivery, through the shoot and the rounds of edit. The record keeps the deliverables and the deadline.
Can I track rounds of revision?
The rounds are stages. You stop counting them from memory, and a client who asks for a fifth version can see where the file stands.
Does the copilot answer an inquiry while I am shooting?
It answers, asks the type of film, the date and the budget if given, and creates the record. You read it when the camera is off.
Is Standin a good fit for videographers?
Yes. You describe your work in a few sentences and Standin builds a CRM made for videographers: your stages, your fields, your words, not a generic template.
What information does Standin track for videographers?
Your CRM tracks what matters in your trade, for example "Type of project", "Date" or "Location". You can add, rename or remove any field at any time.
How does the copilot answer my clients while I work?
It reads your emails and messages, drafts a reply in your tone and updates the file. You approve before it goes out, or you turn on auto-send if you prefer.
Is it free?
You start for free: you create your CRM and try the copilot without paying.
Do I stay in control of what is sent to my clients?
Yes. The copilot drafts the replies, but nothing is sent without your approval, unless you turn on auto-send yourself.
Do I need to install any software?
No. Standin runs in your browser, on your computer or your phone. There is nothing to install.
How long does it take to get started?
A few minutes. Answer a few questions about your trade and your CRM is ready, already seeded with example records.
