FotoFlow vs spreadsheets, WhatsApp & a billing app
Most Indian studios run on Excel, WhatsApp, Google Drive and a separate GST billing app. It works — until a detail slips, a payment is forgotten, or a wedding falls through the cracks.
There's nothing wrong with starting on spreadsheets and WhatsApp — most studios do. The problem is that the pieces don't talk to each other: a quote in Word, a payment in your bank SMS, a delivery date in a group chat, and a GST invoice in a separate app. FotoFlow connects all of it into one flow, so a lead becomes a quote, an order, a payment and a payslip without re-typing — or forgetting — a thing.

FAQ
Common questions
They work until something slips — a forgotten follow-up, an unrecorded advance, a missed delivery date. Because the tools don't connect, you re-type the same information repeatedly and have no single view of your studio. FotoFlow joins it all into one flow.
