Nothing gets lost. Every wardrobe stylist knows the feeling. Forty pieces out across six stores, a rental house waiting on a return, receipts in three different bags, and a production accountant asking for a wrap report by Friday. The work you love is styling. The work that keeps you up is everything else. Archivo is the operations app for that everything else. ONE SCANNER FOR THE WHOLE JOB Receipts, invoices, pull sheets, card statements, rental agreements — photograph any of it and Archivo reads it. Store, date, items, amounts, and the deadline hiding in the fine print. Every receipt comes with its return window attached, so money you spent doesn't quietly become money you lost. OUT OF YOUR CAMERA ROLL, INTO THE PROJECT The moodboard the client texted. The photo of what the PR house sent. The size card, the fitting notes, the reference someone AirDropped you at midnight. Everything visual this job runs on — the stuff that gets buried, forgotten, or lost in the scroll — lives in the project now. The creative side and the money side of the job, finally in the same place. TRACK RENTALS AND PULLS Log a pull from a showroom or a rental house, mark what you're keeping after the fitting, and see what it's going to cost before the invoice arrives. Upload the closeout invoice and it reconciles against what you already logged. IT HOLDS IT ALL, SO YOU DON'T Every piece, every store, every box in motion, every deadline closing in — organized into one screen you can read in five seconds. No digging, no cross-referencing, no 6pm panic about the thing you can't remember. REFUNDS, VERIFIED The return isn't done when you drop the box — it's done when the money lands. Upload a statement and Archivo matches every refund against every return, and flags what's still missing. WRAP REPORTS, DONE INSTANTLY Tap once and it's built — itemized, organized by store and by card, every receipt attached in order. Submit it for reimbursement or hand it straight to production accounting. What used to eat a weekend now takes a minute. YOUR TEAM, IN SYNC Invite your team to a project. Everyone scans, everyone logs, everyone sees the same list. No more group texts asking who returned the shoes. THE NETWORK The industry, in your pocket: over a thousand records — store return policies, PR agencies, showrooms, rental houses, publications, brands, tailors, and couriers, with the contacts and fine print attached. And it's built of people, not just listings: connect with working professionals, verify the ones you've actually worked with, and get found for your next job. MEET ARCO Archivo includes an AI assistant that reads your receipts and documents and answers questions about your own projects in plain language. Ask what's overdue, what a store's return policy is, or what you spent at a shop last month. Arco works only with the information in your account and the documents you give it. It can make mistakes, so always verify dates, amounts, and deadlines against your original receipts. LIKE A COWORKER, NOT AN APP It assumes your hands are full and you have thirty seconds. Scan it, log it, keep moving — Archivo remembers everything and speaks up when something needs you. No manuals, no setup weekend, no software feeling. Wardrobe. Costume. Props. Set decoration. Hair and makeup. Any department that borrows, buys, and gives things back. Archivo is a product of Nothing Lost, Inc.
