Testimonials

With SystemOne we organize the entire agenda in a single place. In addition to the editable fields, we can input the data of our promoters, artists, air tickets, and hotels. We’re able to export all this data in editable or non-editable files to send to each show’s stakeholders. All this is linked to the financial section within the system. It's wonderful.

Diogo Chiapani

Marketing Manager at Criative Music

Data integrity is what I value most about SystemOne. I know how to create solutions with the information readily available to me in the system. All the data is interacting simultaneously with predictable outcomes so I can work faster and sell the right shows.

Scott Southard

Founder & Director at IMN

The platform makes my life so much easier. I’m always with my artists on the road and point to SystemOne whenever they have questions. It has become a running joke to say, ‘Just check SystemOne!’
