Bandize helps bands take control of their careers by giving them an intuitive, simple way to get organized. We created a suite of DIY tools all available and packaged in one smooth, cohesive web application.
See how Bandize can help you by watching the screencasts below.
-
Shows/Tours
-
- Manage every date in your tour
- Booking a five, twenty, or sixty day tour? Manage everything from one easy to use place. We give you a birds-eye-view of every facet of your tour or show!
-
- How much money did we make?
- Enter your nightly merch sales and show payment information. Bandize associates this information with the specific show so that you can track how well you do in each city and/or venue.
-
- Where are we sleeping?
- We've all slept in the van at the last minute when we couldn't find somewhere else to stay, but with Bandize, you'll be able to plan things a lot more easily by arranging accommodations well in advance of your tour.
-
- Day sheets and Tour books
- Bandize allows you to print off day sheets and tour books to make being on the road an efficient and organized experience. Print day sheets to make sure everyone is on schedule and knows where to be and when.
-
-
Accounting
-
- Where's your money going?
- Bandize is your digital ledger. Spend $60 on gas with the band fund? Log it. Did you pay for this week's practice personally and need to be reimbursed? Log it and remind everyone that you're owed money!
-
- Tag transactions!
- Bandize uses tags to allow for filtering and navigation between different transactions. We auto-apply certain tags to keep things organized, but we also let you enter your own tags for some customization (ie. 'Booze', 'Fireworks').
-
- How much are you owed?
- Don't let that $5 the band loaned Gary for a beer get lost in the mental I.O.U. filing-cabinet. Bandize creates a very real sense of accountability so that money doesn't just go 'missing.'
-
- Who's been paid what?
- It may not happen as often as you'd like (though, Bandize hopes to change that for you), but when you get paid, you should be able to track the what, when, and why so that you can figure out how to make it happen over and over again.
-
-
Contacts
-
- Everyone at your fingertips!
- With Bandize, you have easy access to every single contact you've ever made right at your fingertips. Not only can you manage specific contacts, but you can group them into specific categories!
-
- Privacy
- Because you are able to manage several different bands with the same login, we give you the ability to restrict access of certain information between bands on your account.
-
- Track communication
- You'll never forget the last time you spoke with someone because Bandize lets you add notes to specific contacts! You'll also know exactly why you spoke to that person as well!
-
-
Product Management
-
- Track inventory
- 'I know we had another XL in here somewhere.' Sound familiar? With Bandize, you will be able track exactly what merchandise you have. No more sifting through boxes in a dimly-lit club.
-
- We alert you when stock is low
- If you're embarking on a 60-day tour, chances are you're going to run out of something. Bandize allows you to create custom 'Low Stock' and 'Out of Stock' alerts that will let you know when it's time to order more!
-
- How much have you made?
- Know exactly how much each item you sell is making and/or costing you. Does one particular shirt design sell better in Austin than it does in New York City? With Bandize, you'll always know!
-
-
Tasks
-
- Make sure things get done
- Bandize allows you to easily delegate tasks to yourself, other people in your band, or everyone at once! Don't let the little things slip through the cracks and create a sense of accountability.
-
- Put tasks on everything
- Everything on Bandize can have tasks associated with it. Did you just notice that you're running low on that killer t-shirt your fans love? Add a task that says, 'We need to order more of these' and set a due date.
-
- What's late?
- Because nobody's perfect (and after-all, there's music to make), we allow you to set due dates for every single task you create.
-
-
Assets
-
- Better safe than sorry
- Log gear, personal items, van license plates and anything else you or your whole band owns or rents. You can enter the item's serial number, make, model, color, description, price, and upload several photos.
-
- Everything in one place
- Let's imagine that the worst of the worst actually does happen and your van is broken into. What if you had the stolen item's information at your fingertips? You'd have photos, serial numbers, and anything else you'd need to help get everything back!
-
- ‘But what if my laptop is stolen?’
- Because Bandize is a web-based application, you can log into your account from any computer with an internet connection. You aren't required to install any software.
-
-
Calendar
-
- Birds-eye-view
- Easily see what's coming up. The calendar also makes it easy to schedule non-show related activities such as meetings.
-
- Keep everyone's schedules in line
- Make sure eveyone knows where practice is and when. Your shows are automatically updated to the calendar for easy viewing as well.
-
- On the go
- Bandize offers an ICS calendar feed for syncing dates from Bandize to Google Calendar, iCal, Entourage, and Outlook. This makes it easy to see what's going on in Bandize without even needing to log in.
-
-
Messaging
-
- Internal messaging
- Since every member of your band will have their very own login to Bandize, it's easy to send messages to everyone (or even just to specific members).
-
- Commenting / Collaboration
- Have something to say about Howard's suggested tour route? Let him know by commenting directly on his message. This will let Howard and the rest of the recipients of the message know.
-
- File uploading
- 'Hey guys, here's the new flyer I made for the upcoming show.' Bandize makes it easy to share files and you can even associate these files with specific things such as shows or merchandise for easy reference.
-
- No need to log in
- You're automatically emailed at your personal email address every time you receive a message; and with the 'subscribe' feature, you can be notified when anybody comments on any post.
