Residlio™.FOR AGENTS

Your whole roster. Every date, in sync.

Residlio for Agents is its own side of Residlio, built for the people who book us. The same contract-first rules, from the agent’s chair.

01

Bring your roster

Import it from a spreadsheet. Nobody is emailed until you choose to invite them.

02

Send avails and ROFRs

Your talent sees how far along each one is, and taps Got it so you know they saw it.

03

See book-outs

When your talent marks days they can’t work, they’re on your calendar right away.

04

One thread per talent

Messages, contracts and urgent notes, in one place instead of scattered email.

Set up your agency →Agent sign-in is separate from the actor app. Residlio works alongside agents, never instead of them.
Would you know?

Three dates every commercial actor should know.

Most actors find out late, or never. Inside, Residlio works out each one from your own contract, the moment it goes in.

01 · HOLDS

When is your next holding fee due, if the brand keeps your spot?

Your date, worked out inside
02 · MPU

When does your MPU actually start? (Hint: not on the shoot day.)

Your date, worked out inside
03 · SESSION PAY

When is your session fee due after the shoot?

Your date, worked out inside
TRY IT · SAG-AFTRA SESSION PAYWhen is your session fee due?

Enter your shoot date. Residlio counts 15 business days, skipping weekends and federal holidays, the same way the app does.

Inside Residlio

Everything a booking touches, in one place.

Every feature below is in the app today. Every date comes from your contract or the SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contract rules, never a guess.

HOLDS

Hold not paid? You decide.

A holding fee is only owed if the brand keeps your spot. When one is due and not logged, Residlio asks: contact payroll, wait 15 days in case the check is in the mail, or mark the hold ended.

The three choices for an unpaid hold
SESSION PAY

The date it’s due

Fifteen business days from your shoot day, side by side with the date you shot.

CONFLICTS

Exclusivity, timed

The category it locks and the day the conflict ends.

ROFR & BOOKINGS

Avail, ROFR, booked

See how far along each one is. Tap Got it, and your agent knows you saw it.

RENEGOTIATION

Your deal, one page

Flagged 30 days before your term ends. Send it to your agent or save it as a PDF.

STILL RUNNING

Still airing? Log it.

Log the sighting with photo proof. Residlio counts the days past your term end.

BOOKED OUT

Out of town? Say once.

Mark the days you can’t work. Your agent sees them right away.

No spreadsheets. No digging through email. Add what you already have, and every date follows.

Why Residlio exists

“I’ve spent my whole career booking commercials. I built the app I needed for every one of them.”

For thirty years I tracked holds, MPUs and session dates the way most actors do: in my head, in email, and on stubs in a drawer. Residlio is the tool I wished I’d had, built by an actor, for commercial actors and the agents who work alongside us.

30+YEARS ON SET
1APP FOR ALL OF THEM
Mike’s commercial work includes Walmart (spokesman, 3.5 years), Salesforce, Capital One, Coca-Cola, Lexus and Target, with spots airing during the Super Bowl, World Series, World Cup, Wimbledon, NBA Finals and the College Football Championship.
Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

Something else? Email us. It comes straight to us.

Is Residlio for union or non-union work?

Both. Pick the contract type when you add it. Union jobs follow the SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contract rules; non-union jobs follow the term your contract sets.

What does it cost?

Try Residlio risk-free for 30 days. No credit card needed. Your 30 days start the day your account is approved, not the day you sign up.

What is the Waiting Room?

Create your account and you’re in the Waiting Room. Every account is approved by hand, and you’ll get an email the moment yours opens.

Do I need an agent? Does it replace mine?

No, and no. Residlio works on its own, and when you connect your agent it works alongside them, never instead of them. Nothing is shared until they approve.

Who can see my information?

You. If you connect with your agent, the bookings, checks and dates you share stay in sync between the two of you, and nothing is shared until the connection is approved.

Does Residlio estimate what I’ll be paid?

No. Residlio never predicts a dollar amount. Amounts appear only once a check is logged, exactly as printed on the stub.

Your booking, untangled.

Create your account and you’ll get an email the moment it’s approved. Once you’re in, audition any feature with practice data before you add a thing. Nothing in an audition is saved, sent or emailed.
