Pet Talent Agency Marketplace Catalog And Management System
A small agency representing animal performers asked us to turn their hand-curated PDF catalog into a real marketplace where producers can browse, request and book talent — with all the contracts and welfare paperwork attached.

The Challenge
Producers kept asking for the same things — temperament notes, availability, welfare history — and the agency was assembling each pitch by hand. Bookings stalled because everything lived in scattered files.
Our Approach
We rebuilt the catalog as a real database, then layered booking and contracts on top so a single producer search becomes a signed agreement without leaving the app.
- 01
Catalog
Photo-rich profiles with skills, temperament and availability calendars.
- 02
Search
Producers filter by species, skill, age, location and shoot window.
- 03
Contracts
Welfare and usage terms generated and signed inline.
- 04
Reporting
Per-talent earnings and on-set hours kept up to date automatically.
The Impact
The agency now closes more bookings with the same team, and producers self-serve the easy ones.
-
Self-serve discovery
Producers shortlist talent without an agent in the loop.
-
Standardised contracts
Every booking carries welfare and usage terms automatically.
-
Earnings transparency
Talent owners see live bookings and payouts.
-
On-set logistics
Call sheets and welfare check-ins live next to each booking.

Project Review
“Producers stopped emailing us for spec sheets. They search, they shortlist, they sign — and we just keep building the catalog.”
