Features
Everything the job needs, nothing it doesn't.
Budgets, bid letters, calendars, bid packages, and wrap — one platform built for the real-world workflow of commercial production. No tool-switching, no manual PDF assembly.
01 — Budgeting
The bid, priced the way the industry expects.
AICP, AICP Post, and APA formats built in — from first estimate to actualized budget, with variance tracked to the penny.
Budget templates
AICP, AICP Post, and APA (UK) built in. Customize once, reuse on every job after.
Overage change orders
Pick who went over — rates pull from the budget, one click makes a client-ready Overage PDF.
Rate import
Start a bid from any job you've done. Last job's rates, this job's bid.
Overtime scenarios
What does the fourteen-hour day cost? Know it before you shoot it.
Budget options
2-day or 3-day shoot? Build both versions and compare side by side before one goes to the client.
Schedule-to-budget cascade
Change the day count and every labor line re-prices. As the schedule moves, money follows.
Copy estimate to working
Job awarded? One button copies a section — or the whole budget — into a live working budget.
Breakout fringes
One checkbox breaks out P&W with its own row and markup — formatted the way the agency asked.
Budget sub-items
114 becomes 114a Studio, 114b Park, 114c Home — no renumbering by hand.
Budget phases
Bidding, Estimate, Working, Actual — the standard lifecycle in one budget, variance to the penny.
Floating totals
Your total goes where you go — deep in section G it's still on screen.
Currency conversion
Convert any column of the estimate and view currencies side by side.
Budget PDF export
Control exactly what the client sees — preset views, custom columns, hidden empty lines.
02 — Calendar & Schedule
The schedule moves. Lineo moves with it.
Production calendars with the moves you already know — and a straight line from the schedule to the budget.
Calendar dashboard
Every job in one view. See the overlap before it's a problem; filter by project, director, or agency.
Project calendars
Drag, drop, resize, recolor. LA version and Austin version? Duplicate, tweak, done.
Event types
Standard event types or your own — production calendars built in minutes.
Skip weekends
Working days, not calendar days. Drop a day on Saturday and it lands Monday.
U.S. holidays
One toggle puts every U.S. holiday on every calendar — book around them, not into them.
Calendar shift
Shoot day moved? Shift the rest of the schedule with it.
03 — Wrap & Accounting
Wrap without the retyping.
Drop in invoices, registers, and receipts — Lineo's AI reads them, previews them, and posts them to the actual.
Wrap logs
Overage, purchase-order, payroll, and petty-cash logs live alongside the budget through wrap.
AI PO creation
Drag a vendor invoice and W-9 in — AI fills the PO, attaches the docs, posts the expense.
AI payroll import
Drop in a payroll register — preview, commit, and the Payroll Log fills itself.
AI petty cash scanning
Upload receipts — each one lands in its envelope and on the actual in seconds.
PO statuses
Default and custom statuses show where your wrap stands at a glance.
Bulk PO export
Filter, select, and export purchase orders in bulk — invoices and W-9s attached.
Travel tracking
Track travel alongside the rest of the job's spend.
W-9 compliance
Vendor W-9s collected and accounted for before checks go out.
04 — Bid Letter & Documents
One branded package. No stitching PDFs.
Everything the client sees — budget, letter, calendar — assembled once and always current.
Bid letter
Import a Word doc, reuse an old letter, or write in the built-in word processor — AI updates it from your project documents.
Bid package
Budget, letter, calendar, and documents in one branded package. Update the source and the package updates with it.
Document sharing
Grant access at any level — the whole org, a project, a bid package, or a single budget.
Custom branding
Add the client's logo, the agency's, and your own — a package that looks like it came from you.
Package to PDF
One polished, client-ready PDF — downloaded and sent straight to the agency.
Deliverables reorder
Order deliverables the way the client expects to read them.
05 — Platform & AI
It knows production. And it knows yours.
Multi-player, offline-capable, one touch to sign in — with an assistant that answers from your own job.
Projects dashboard
One view across jobs — sort by client, agency, or status and find the one you need in seconds.
Production Assistant
Production answers with sources — then ask about your own POs and budget.
Bidding Assistant (Coming soon)
AI assistance while building the bid.
Offline desktop app
No WiFi? The desktop app doesn't care. Work offline; it syncs when you're back.
Passkey / Touch ID
No password. One touch and you're in, back to work.
Multi-player
The whole team on the same project at the same time — no crazy file versioning.
Project overview
Every budget, calendar, letter, package, and document for a job in one view.
Access panel
Project summary, key dates, downloads, and the Assistant — never more than a click away.
Status & filter
Preset or custom statuses across projects, budgets, and packages — filter to what's still open.
Archive & delete
Archive hides, a filter brings it back. Trash holds deletes for 30 days.
