Testimonials

Mit SystemOne organisieren wir die gesamte Agenda an einem einzigen Ort. Zusätzlich zu den bearbeitbaren Feldern können wir die Daten unserer Veranstalter, Künstler, Flugtickets und Hotels eingeben. Wir können all diese Daten in bearbeitbare oder nicht bearbeitbare Dateien exportieren, um sie an die Interessengruppen der einzelnen Shows zu senden. All dies ist mit dem Finanzbereich innerhalb des Systems verknüpft. Das ist wunderbar.

Diogo Chiapani

Marketing Manager bei Criative Music

Datenintegrität ist das, was ich an SystemOne am meisten schätze. Ich weiß, wie ich mit den Informationen, die mir im System zur Verfügung stehen, Lösungen erstellen kann. Alle Daten interagieren gleichzeitig mit vorhersehbaren Ergebnissen, sodass ich schneller arbeiten und die richtigen Sendungen verkaufen kann.

Scott Southard

Gründer und Direktor von IMN

Die Plattform macht mein Leben so viel einfacher. Ich bin immer mit meinen Künstlern unterwegs und verweise auf SystemOne, wenn sie Fragen haben. Es ist zu einem ständigen Witz geworden, zu sagen: „Schau einfach bei SystemOne nach!“
