In advertising, most quotes submitted don't win the job — but each one takes the same costing work. Soldum breaks down your script, generates the bid quote and shooting schedule with AI, and recalculates everything the moment a new script or brief version lands, right up to the day before the shoot.
Designed for production companies and agencies pitching on tight-deadline briefs who need to cost fast without losing accuracy.
- Bid quote generated from the script, with detailed line items (crew, equipment, sets, post-production…).
- Automatic quote recalculation on every new script or brief version — no re-entry.
- Automatic script breakdown (sets, casting, extras, props, vehicles, effects).
- Shooting schedule generated and recalculated alongside the quote.
- AI assistant (app + WhatsApp), billed per account with your team included.
The quote that has to win the pitch, in minutes
A commercial bid is won on speed and credibility of the costing, not price alone. Soldum cuts the breakdown and costing from several hours to a few minutes, leaving time to refine the treatment and pitch strategy instead of re-typing a spreadsheet.
Iterate at the client's pace
Script or brief changing until the day before the shoot? Re-import the new version: the breakdown, quote and schedule recalculate automatically. No more redoing everything by hand at each agency/advertiser round-trip.
Airtight for the PPM
Breakdown, detailed budget by category, shooting schedule: everything is structured, editable and exportable (Excel, PDF) to present a solid preparation to the client at the pre-production meeting, once the bid is won.

Frequently asked questions
Is Soldum for pitching on briefs, not just prepping a job already won?
+
Yes, that's the starting point: Soldum generates a credible bid quote straight from the script or brief, before the job is even awarded, and recalculates it at every new version during negotiation.
Is Soldum suited to short formats and tight deadlines?
+
Yes, particularly: short formats break down and cost very quickly, and Soldum recalculates everything for each script version: a decisive advantage when deadlines are tight.
Can it be used in an agency as well as a production company?
+
Yes. Soldum is designed for everyone preparing a bid or a shoot: production, location management, directing. The AI assistant is accessible from the app and WhatsApp.
