Platform capabilities

Built for every part of your event

From the first artist booking to the last guest at the door — ESS covers the full operational workflow of a professional event.

Accreditation

Issue digital accreditation per artist team. Configure types per event and control exactly who gets access to what.

Artist Management

Maintain a full artist roster with contact details, technical riders, show assignments and personal briefing pages.

Programs

Build stage-by-stage schedules, manage set times and share a live public program — per stage and per day.

Guestlists

Artists submit guest requests through a personal link per event day. Approve, reject or add guests manually — with full per-session control.

Crew Management

Create crew jobs with shifts per event day. Assign crew members, give stage managers program access and send everyone a personal briefing page.

QR Tickets & Scanning

Every guest, artist and crew member gets a unique digital ticket with a QR code. Scan at the door from any phone — no hardware required.

How it works

Up and running in minutes

01

Create your event

Set up an event with your stages, event days and accreditation types. Invite sub-users from your production team with the right permissions.

02

Add artists and crew

Build your lineup and assign crew to jobs and shifts. Each artist gets a personal briefing link; each crew member gets a schedule and QR ticket.

03

Manage everything live

Approve guest requests, adjust the program and keep your team in sync — all from one dashboard, in real time.

Accreditation

No more spreadsheets.
No more email chains.

Every artist receives a personal link to their accreditation form. They fill in who needs access and which type — your team reviews and approves in one place.

  • Configurable accreditation types per event (Artist, Crew, Press, VIP…)
  • Personal request forms via unique artist links
  • Approve or reject per person and per session
  • Per-day and per-session access control for multi-day events

  • Artists submit directly via their personal briefing link
  • Crew members automatically appear on the guestlist
  • Public request form and manual additions

Crew Management

Your crew,
organised and informed.

  • Crew jobs and shifts per event day or session
  • Personal briefing page with schedule and event info

What organizers say

Before ESS we managed 200+ artist accreditations through spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads. Now it takes a fraction of the time and nothing slips through the cracks.

Marieke van den Berg
Production Manager · Classified Festival

The briefing pages alone were worth switching. Every artist gets a personal link with their schedule, set time and contact info. No more chasing emails at midnight.

Thomas Leclercq
Head of Artist Relations · Tomorrowland

Our crew team went from a shared Excel to individual QR tickets and shift schedules overnight. The stage managers especially love having their own program view.

Sarah Janssen
Operations Lead · Down The Rabbit Hole
