Animation production tracking: shots & approvals

Animators: every shot tracked, every approval recorded. Production you can see.

Shot lists in spreadsheets, reviews by email and approvals lost. We build production tracking for animation studios.

Looking for animation production tracking software?

Animation projects have many shots in many stages. We build tracking and client reviews.

Wollopit builds booking systems, client proofing, project portals and portfolio websites for animators around how you actually create and deliver. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can spend more time on the work and less on the admin.

04Services

Everything under one roof

Software, websites and systems for animators.

Whether you're starting fresh or upgrading what you've got, it's one team from the first sketch to the support call.

Custom software for animators

Built around how your animation studio actually runs: shot tracker, review portal and the admin in between, in one system you own.

Websites for animators

Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.

Animation studio system upgrades

Running on spreadsheets, old software or a platform you've outgrown? We move your data across and upgrade in stages so the business never stops.

Apps and portals for animators

Approvals and assignments: customer and staff portals that work on any phone without an app store.

Integrations and automation

We connect Stripe, Xero and Dropbox so information moves on its own and nobody retypes it.

Managed hosting, updates, backups and security for your animation studio, looked after by the people who built it.

06How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your animation studio: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

07Questions

FAQ

Things animators ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can clients see progress on each shot?

Yes. Clients can see shot status and review drafts.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your animation studio. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

Can clients approve work online?

Yes. Clients can review drafts, leave comments, approve and pay in one place instead of a dozen emails.

Will our portfolio load fast?

Yes. We hand-build portfolio sites so big images and video load quickly on phones without losing quality.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most animators we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
