CiMS Job Costing for Creative & Production Teams

19 reviews

CiMS is a cloud-based job-costing, estimating and invoicing platform built for creative and production businesses — commercial production companies, film and video producers, photographers, post-production houses, live-events teams and the agencies that represent them. It runs the full money side of a job from one place: build a detailed estimate or bid, monitor the budget as costs come in, reconcile actuals against the quote, then raise advance, interim and final invoices — across currencies and tax jurisdictions. Customisable budget templates and one-click project cloning cut repetitive setup, while built-in CRM, contacts and calendar management keep clients, artists, crew and schedules organised alongside the numbers. Everything is accessible from any browser, secured end-to-end and hosted on AWS. Unlike desktop budgeting tools built only to produce a number, CiMS carries a project from quote through to reconciled payment — closing the gap between what was bid and what was spent.
