For agencies and studios that work with contractors

Client requests in. Approved work out.

With Laika Portal, clients send requests through a link, your contractors work to a checklist and log their time, and you approve the result.

Paid pilot for 5 agencies: Studio at US$49 a month, locked for 12 months.

Laika Portal's review screen: a contractor's second version of a booking screen design, with every checklist item ticked and an Approve button, beside a new client request arriving in the inbox.

How it works

From client request to approved work

One request, followed from your client's message to your sign-off.

Apply for the pilot
  1. 1Your client

    A client sends a request

    Each project has a private link. Your client says what they need, with no login, and gets a reference to follow.

  2. 2You

    You turn it into a task

    Pick who does it, the due date and the hours. Add a checklist of what done means. Lock it until another task is approved.

  3. 3Your contractor

    Your contractor does the work

    They run a timer or add time by hand, then send in a version with files, a link and a note.

  4. 4You, then your client

    You approve it, or ask for changes

    Approve it, or send it back with a note. Your client sees each stage on their status page and by email.

The iPhone app · also on iPad
