Choose between deep studio automation and broader client operations.

Táve is designed for photographers and event-focused businesses, with lead capture, proposals, automated workflows, questionnaires, email, and reporting. Teams may compare alternatives when simplicity, wider project delivery, or cross-service operations matter more.

Lead to proposal

Preserve inquiry detail, qualification, packages, follow-up, and conversion history.

Repeatable studio flow

Evaluate questionnaires, messages, tasks, dates, triggers, and exception handling.

Beyond the booking

Test production, team ownership, approvals, files, budgets, invoices, and portfolio reporting.

Compare how much workflow configuration the studio wants to own.

The right answer depends on the complexity of the booking system and the breadth of work after booking.

01

Inventory active automations

Document triggers, timing, templates, conditions, and the exceptions currently handled by a person.

02

Separate booking from production needs

A strong lead workflow may still require another system for team delivery, capacity, approvals, or finance.

03

Rebuild one event lifecycle

Test inquiry, consultation, proposal, booking, preparation, event, delivery, invoice, and follow-up.

04

Measure maintenance effort

Account for setup, template governance, staff training, data cleanup, and recovery when automation fails.

A practical direction by priority.

Verify current features and plan requirements directly with each provider.

Táve alternatives, answered.

Do I need to migrate everything at once?

No. Start with active clients and open work. Archive older records separately, then move them only when they become useful.

What should be migrated first?

Move the client record, current scope, decision history, upcoming dates, open tasks, active files, and unpaid invoices first.

How do I know the new system is working?

The team should be able to answer who owns the next action, what the client approved, and what is still unpaid without searching several tools.

Preserve the workflows that earn their complexity.
