Studio management software from booking to delivery

Studio management software for photography and video studios, and podcast and recording studios. Both sell studio hours and their team’s time, then deliver work after the session, which is exactly what Govia is built for.

Pick your business

  • Photo & Video Studio

    Clients book their session and pay the deposit, the session holds the studio and the photographer together, they pick their photos on a private link, and every photo beyond the package becomes a line on the invoice.

  • Podcast & Recording Studio

    Book the room with the sound engineer, draw the recording from the client’s package or charge it by the hour, and follow every episode from recording to editing, client review and delivery.

Why Govia

  • No double bookings

    A session holds the studio and the photographer or engineer together, and neither can be booked for two sessions at once.

  • From session to delivery

    An editing queue with the editor’s name and due date, late jobs flagged, and a review link where the client approves or asks for changes.

  • Sudden absence, no chaos

    An absent photographer’s or engineer’s sessions go to an available colleague, move, or are cancelled, and each client hears once about their session.

  • Bookings and quotes from your page

    Clients book a session from your public page or ask for a quote, then accept the quote from its link without a long back-and-forth.

  • Arabic first, in your trade’s words

    The whole system runs in Arabic, right to left, and names things the way your business does: client, patient, member or tenant.

  • Automatic WhatsApp messages

    Booking confirmations, appointment reminders and verification codes reach your customers on WhatsApp without anyone typing them.

  • Local payments

    Payment links with mada, Apple Pay and cards, plus instalments with Tabby and Tamara through Tap.

  • Tax invoices with QR

    ZATCA-ready tax invoices with QR (generation phase), issued with every payment.

  • On Riyadh time

    Appointments, reports and reminders run on Riyadh time and the Saudi working week, wherever the system is opened.

  • An assistant that answers and prepares

    Ask it about your numbers and screens and it answers, then prepares the action for you to approve with one tap.

Questions before you start

Do I need to install anything?

No. Govia runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and you start the moment your account exists, with no hardware and nothing to install.

Do you support mada and Apple Pay?

Yes. Once online payments are switched on in settings, clients pay deposits and invoices with mada, Visa, Mastercard or Apple Pay, and Tabby and Tamara are available through the Tap gateway.

Can I bring my data over from a notebook or Excel?

Yes. Add clients and projects straight from the screens, our support team helps you move your data when you start, and any list exports to Excel whenever you want.

Does it send WhatsApp reminders?

Yes, automatic WhatsApp messages: a confirmation when the session is booked, a reminder the day before, and a notice if it moves or is cancelled, while the photographer or engineer is told about new work.

Are the invoices ZATCA-compliant?

Yes. Govia issues ZATCA-ready tax invoices with QR (generation phase), showing the client’s details and VAT number when the client is a company or a store.
