- Artists propose fee, tech rider & slot themselves

Plan power like a game
Drag stages, bars and food trucks onto your festival map and hook them up to the grid, generators and distros — the cables route themselves around obstacles like water. Green flows where the power is enough, red shows at once where it isn't. The calculated pre-planning for your electrician.
- Auto-plan ⚡ adds generators, distros and cables for everything unpowered — slide towards shorter cables or fewer generators
- Live checks for load, motor start, plugs and voltage drop
- Material list with cable lengths and cable bridges as CSV — on request, AI estimates the rental costs and adds them to your cost planner once you confirm
Work faster with AI
AI takes the typing off your hands: drop in invoices and they are read and booked, describe a change to a newsletter or survey and get a proposal you confirm, and free-text survey answers arrive summarised. Nothing goes live without your OK.
- Invoices: upload, AI reads vendor, amounts and due date and books them to the matching cost position
- Newsletters & surveys: describe the change, review the proposal, confirm — you always keep the last word
- Survey answers: free text summarised by AI, plus a chat to dig into the results
