Every workflow, from accreditation to the door.

Per workflow: how it goes now, how it goes in ShowIQ, and what you get back.

All workflows

Accreditation

Each artist gets a personal link. They fill in who needs access, you approve per person and per day.

Now: Mail every artist a form, chase the replies, retype the names into the sheet and fix the sheet after every change.

Artist briefings

One briefing page per artist that is always current: set times, contacts, parking, guestlist and tickets.

Now: A PDF per artist, re-exported and re-sent every time the schedule, parking or the riders move.

Guestlists

Artists and guests submit through their link. The door sees the approved list per day, live.

Now: Names arrive by WhatsApp, mail and DM. Someone merges them into one list the night before.

Check-in at the door

Scan the QR ticket. Approved or not in one second, with the count updating live.

Now: A printed list, a marker and a queue while someone searches for a name.

Crew

Crew pick their shifts, get a personal briefing page and a QR ticket for their day.

Now: A shift roster in a sheet, availability by phone, and everyone asking "when am I on?".

This is what replaces the spreadsheet.

Three screens from the app, each next to the file it makes redundant.

One approval. A real ticket.

Artists register their own people per day through a personal link. You approve, and they get a pass with a QR code. Guestlist requests from artist briefings and guest tools become real tickets at your ticketing partner the moment you approve.

The door runs on one scan.

Door staff scan the QR ticket on any phone and see in a second whether the pass is valid today. The desk confirms a check-in and the printer hands out a personal wristband: the same QR, your logo, the name and the zones it opens.
