The problem with old publishing workflows
If you want to start a magazine, you need content. Usually, editors ask photographers to send their work via email.
Soon, your inbox is full of expired WeTransfer links and missing team credits.
If you try to use legacy directories like Kavyar, you hit a wall. They limit how many messages you can send to creators.
They use outdated interfaces that make reviewing photos slow and frustrating.
You need a system built for modern publishers.
The DEPO solution: a smart CRM for editors
DEPO Place is not just a marketplace; it is a workspace. We built a powerful Smart CRM specifically for independent publishers.
It replaces your messy email inbox with a clean, professional dashboard.
Here is why editors love working on DEPO Place:
Centralized submissions: all photos and team credits arrive in one organized place.
1-click actions: accept, decline, or sort submissions into custom folders instantly.
Automated emails: the system automatically notifies creators when their work is accepted.
Global traffic: thanks to the anthill effect, creators from all over the world will discover your magazine.
