For prop houses & production

Find the right prop by describing it.

A prop house is thousands of one-off pieces with no barcodes and no names. SnapFind catalogues them from photos, finds “the mid-century brass lamp” when a designer asks for it, and books pieces out to a production by date.

The problem

Why it slips today.

Every piece is one of a kind

There is no SKU for a 1970s rotary phone. Typing a description for each of ten thousand pieces never gets finished.

Pulls depend on one person’s memory

The person who knows where the brass lamps are is on holiday, and the designer is waiting in the lobby.

Rentals come back short

A wrap brings back eleven of the twelve chairs and nobody can prove which production had the twelfth.

How it works

Set up in an afternoon, by camera.

No spreadsheets to fill in and no scanner hardware to buy. The phone in your pocket does the data entry.

  1. 01

    Photograph racks and shelves

    Walk an aisle and shoot each shelf. The AI writes a description for every piece: era, material, colour and style.

  2. 02

    Pull by describing it

    Search “green velvet armchair” or upload a reference image from the designer, and see every match with its aisle and bay.

  3. 03

    Book it out by date

    Reserve pieces for a production’s shoot dates, check them out on the pull and in on the wrap, and see clashes before they happen.

Built for prop houses

The parts that matter for your team.

AI descriptions

Era, style, material and colour written for every piece, so the catalogue is searchable from day one.

Search by photo

Match a designer’s reference picture against the whole house and see the closest pieces first.

Bookings by production

Hold pieces for future shoot dates and see what is already promised to someone else.

Shareable pull lists

Send a designer a page of photos for a container or a pull, no account needed.

Out to a production, with a due date

Each piece is checked out to a production and a contact, with reminder and overdue emails.

Loss and damage records

Photos at check-out and check-in settle what came back damaged, and who had it.

Plus everything in SnapFind Business: unlimited items, a web dashboard, offline mode, custom fields, reports and 12 languages. See the whole product

Ask, don’t search

Ask your inventory a question.

Type a question the way you would ask a colleague, in the app, on the web or from Claude or ChatGPT. The answer comes back with the container, the location and who has it.

  • Show me every mid-century lamp that is free the week of the 14th.
  • Which production still has the bentwood chairs?
  • What did we send to the diner set, and what came back?

FAQ

Questions prop houses ask first

How do prop houses catalogue pieces that have no barcode?

Photograph them. SnapFind writes a description for each piece — what it is, its era, material and colour — so the catalogue is searchable by words or by a reference photo without anyone typing.

Can I reserve props for a production’s dates?

Yes. Book pieces out for a date range, see what is already promised, then check them out on the pull and in on the wrap.

Can a designer browse without an account?

Yes. Share a page for a container or a pull list. The designer sees the photos and descriptions, and nothing else in your inventory.

Is there a limit on how many pieces I can add?

No. Business has no item limit, which matters when a house holds tens of thousands of pieces.
