Having the
ability to keep all your information in one centralized location is very
important as a tour manager. So is the
ability to view your information across multiple devices. While some managers carry their computers
with them at all times, it is not always realistic. Ones with their phones on them, now that is
something that we see all the time.
Eventric has
created a desktop app,
a mobile app, and a web portal,
allowing access to the information you need at the tip of your fingers. Master Tour lets you enter every possible bit
of information related to gigs or the travel that you could ever want to keep
track of, including set lists, guest lists, contacts, travel itineraries, maps,
riders and more. It is not just for the tour manager. Artists and other employees on the tour can
access the information as well, so there is no reason to be woken up late at
night for someone asking about call times.
According to their website, “Eventric’s customers include
professional tour managers, production managers, artist managers, crew,
technicians, label reps, venue staff, ticket managers and…pretty much everyone
who plays a role in the live entertainment business.
Although there wouldn’t be a show without the countless
professionals behind the scenes, the performers and events are what bring
people together for great live entertainment.”
In the past,
tour managers had to have multiple applications spread across their computer,
phone, and a variety of cloud services.
This app enables a tour manager to keep all the necessary information in
one place. If they aren’t using an
application such as this, it can be very difficult and time consuming to keep
track of all the information needed if it is spread across multiple
applications and devices. Something will
no doubt be missed. With this
application, there should be no reason for anyone to be absent for call times. Having families meet you at a certain
location will be no problem, because everyone will have access to the
information, arrival times, etc.
The app’s Professionals
account is designed for tour managers and is $49.99/month. It offers data entry by way of the desktop
app. The premium and mobile app are free
and designed for the crew and members of the band, who need diverse levels of
information available to them.
Master Tour is a universal app, designed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and requires iOS 3.1 or later and is available from the App Store.
