Director, Production Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Essential Production Software" January 19, 2021 5.0 The team at ShoFlo is fantastic. They're helpful, value their customer's input and really want to engage with us and learn more about how we use it. The team even came and visited one of our live events to see their product in action with a user, which i thought was awesome. Pros The fact that it's specifically tailored to production run of shows is what makes it stand out - they've thought of nearly everything and are consistently listening to those of us who use it regularly, learning the different ways we use it and thoughtfully making upgrades to the system. Cons There have been bugs here or there, but they're usually very minor and of little importance. For instance, a photo not fitting a frame correctly. We've never had any issues while using ShoFlo live in show, even with spotty wifi. It's every reliable. Review Source KC Kyle C. Director of Game Experience Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "There is absolutely nothing like ShoFlo!" January 21, 2021 5.0 My overall experience with ShoFlo has been nothing except top level. The customer service is like nothing I have ever experienced. They truly want to see their product grow and improve so they listen to us as users, help us, and if there's an idea we have for them, they work to built that into the software. It's pretty cool to have an idea and shortly thereafter see it implemented within the software! Pros The EASE OF EVERYTHING! The amount of time that ShoFlo has saved my staff and I cannot be measured. It is incredible how much faster building our scripts and updating all ShoFlo docs are now. It's just such a well built and thought out software that really puts the users first and thinks the way that I think. Oh...and they have quite possibly the best customer service of any software company I have worked with. Cons The only downfall to ShoFlo is how long it can take to build your first show. BUT, once you have that first shell of a show built, it is smooth sailing from there! Reason for choosing Shoflo There truly isn't any production scripting software that is anywhere close to ShoFlo! Review Source KP Katie P. Assistant Director of Marketing and Fan Experience Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Shoflo Review" November 3, 2021 4.0 Pros Ease of moving PA's and having the auto timing feature so you don't have to calculate it Cons That there's no place to put PA's that might be used for a later game and are just being removed for a game here or there. Review Source EH Eric H. Creative and Technical Producer Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ShoFlo - a great eventsoftware" January 20, 2021 5.0 My overall experience is 10 out of 10. Can´t really think of one bad thing. Pros Working as a technical producer and also a showcaller during events is all about keeping track of timing and the runningschedule. We have always been working in Excel-sheets that are in different versions. Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and so forth. Very hard to have the latest version. Then we found ShoFlo. It was everything I wanted plus more. It has made my life so much easier and saves so much time. Can´t really push enough for this great tool. Cons The pricing is a bit expensive when you first hear about it. But if you then think about the amount of time you save using ShoFlo (and TIME IS MONEY....) it is not that expensive. Review Source CP Caleb P. LED Systems Manager Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Shoflo - Magic LED Manager" January 2, 2017 4.0 Generally speaking.....love the Shoflo user experience! Far easier than everything I've used before (both with the Magic and with other sports teams I've worked with) and makes adjustments on the fly super smooth. Only a couple of (minor) pain points that I still don't like dealing with on the UX side: +we break our show down into three mini-phases pregame, in-game, and floating. Best I can tell, though, there's no way to jump between these without using the browser back button, then selecting my new destination. Making it so users can jump from one of these phases to the next without the middle step of using the back button would make things easier. Customer support representatives have told me that there's no way to backlog old events without losing them (which they need for the purpose of copying/pasting over old elements that may recur at a later date). This forces all users to have to jump ahead through multiple pages of past games to get to the current upcoming game. Instead, having a "past shows" and "upcoming shows" build option (driven by date) would make this process one step quicker every game. +(FWIW, I have no idea on the financials of our arrangement with Shoflo, so my rating on 'Value' above isn't really applicable) Pros See previous notes submission block Cons See previous notes submission block Review Source Will C. Chief Event Einstein Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Couldn't imagine doing it without Shoflo" December 12, 2016 5.0 So Shoflo isn't for everyone but if you're doing a heavy cue by cue run down for your events, you need this software. We have done shows with Thousands of cues and the system just does not miss a beat. It makes it easy for us and our clients organize our thoughts around what needs to happen and when. Plus the team and support are amazing. We wouldn't be able to put on the events we do without it. Pros Easy to use Syncs across multiple devices Really easy to read Cons No user management for single files or Shoflos (for example, I don't wany my client to see all of my internal documents) however I've been promised it's coming Review Source AM Annie M. SR Mgr, Game Presentation and Events Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Must Have for any Sports or Live Event Professional" January 19, 2021 5.0 Pros This software makes it easy to put your rundowns and scripts for live events together. It also makes it easy to run exactly what your folks want if you don't have tablets for everyone. It saves time, keeps things organized, and also allows you to track what elements were used at what time for accountability. Cons The only thing is the cost. As an AHL team, we were used to paying a little less with another software. Review Source Edgar R. Consultor en comunicación y tecnologías de información Performing Arts Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Renovating the idea of live events." November 16, 2018 5.0 We've tried Shoflo for various events now and definitely time saved is the main advantage. File sharing and data updating for the whole production team is a good point to consider. It's a project management app dedicated for live events. Note taking helps alot, and realtime changes is really cool! Pros It's an all in one packed solution mainly for live events , eventhough preproduction for tv and shooting can also reduce alot of time and effort. If your crew has access to a computer, tablet or Ipad on site, definitely give ShoFlo a try, and you will consider adding it to your budget. Cons Mainly the cost, secondly the implementation time and learning curve. Eventhough Shoflo helps mainly in time reduction and file sharing throughout the team, not all people in the industry have neither the time or the will to sit down and consider a new tool.

May 9, 2018 5.0 Pros The ability to have live updates across everyone's desk is really a game changer. In live events things change minute by minute and being able to make those edits for everyone all at once is amazing Cons There isn't a whole lot of negative about this product! The only downside is you need everyone to have an iPad or spare computer at their station which some don't have or don't want to use their personal Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Associate Athletic Director of Marketing and Fan Engagement Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ShoFlo Is Legit" December 15, 2018 5.0 Pros Archiving of games, ease of updating future events. Cons I would love to see a more robust PA announcer screen/options. Review Source MP Melanie P. Event Manager Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Take the stress out of your events!" December 12, 2016 5.0 We use shoflo for every event, whether or not someone is calling it live or not. Real-time production notes will save your bacon. One place for all the info will also save your bacon. Incredibly helpful and intuitive! Pros Highly intuitive. Cons Account info can be difficult to change. Review Source MF Matthew F. Used the software for: ### "Saves Time, Paper, and Money" December 12, 2016 5.0 Shoflo has been essential to saving us time and money. The fact that it is real time saves us tons of time by not re-printing paper cue sheets. Technicians love it because they can have their own notes within the cue sheet that is visible only by them. We all love the show caller feature which ensures nobody gets lost or confused about which cue we are on in the show. My favorite part about Shoflo as the team leader is the crew permissions which allows me to control who can change what in the cue sheet. They are continually improving their product to make it better for us users. Highly recommend Shoflo. Very helpful and fast customer service. Review Source HI Holly I. Used the software for: ### "Perfect for simulcasts!" December 29, 2016 5.0 I purchased a license for ShoFlo to use in an upcoming simulcast event. Each of our host sites have multiple live elements in addition to the stream so I will have stage managers at all of my host sites who are following the rundown via ShoFlo and keeping their site on time. I'm so excited about all the capabilities of this program! Review Source JM Joe M. Field Sales Training Manager Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Tool for Your Event" December 28, 2016 5.0 Shoflo is an amazing tool that really allows us to coordinate our event as well as make changes that constantly stayed updated and kept everyone on the same page Pros UX, easy of use, navigation and cross collaboration Review Source KB Kasper B. Producer / Showcaller Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Hey Showflo - Great software, high price " December 13, 2016 4.0 Your software is exactly what I need. But as a freelance producer the price is high. If I was a large or medium company the license fee is no problem but as a freelancer it is a bit high. Maybe it is possible to develop a light version for freelancers or individual pricing depending on number of employees? Pros Its always updated, my crew always have the latest version, I can have colleges working on the same document. And the online tracking. Cons Depending on internett. Review Source DS Daniel S. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My entire event in one place. " November 29, 2016 5.0 Shoflo allowed us to keep everything in one place and my team to be in sync without all the spreadsheets. We are now a shoflo shop. Pros Real-time and multi features all in one place. Cons n/a Review Source OT Olli T. Producer Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent software that has made my life a lot easier." January 5, 2017 4.0 After moving from excel sheets to shoflo my life has changed completely. I don't need to worry about sending the latest updated run sheet (xls) to everybody. In the start of each project, I simply designate and invite the crew to the project, allocate roles (who can edit, who gets read only etc) and send the guest to pass URL-link till client and others involved. This gives them access to the last updated version of the run sheet all the time. No need to email separate files constantly. Show caller function is also amazing which we use at all the bigger productions. Pros sharing possibilities ease of use Cons some of the solutions are standard cannot be altered. Review Source BA Brittani A. Event Production Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Show Agenda Software" December 13, 2016 5.0 I've been using ShoFlo for 2 years and it's the best software out there. I won't do another event without ShoFlo to keep my team on track. Every detail is logged into ShoFlo and it makes it much easier for me to delegate for others to help manage the details of the show. Pros Easy to use, the functionality...just about everything. Cons Could use some improvement for viewing/editing on ipad&iphone. Review Source HS Harry S. Production Manager Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Save your paper and your sanity." June 24, 2021 5.0 Pros My whole crew is literally on the same page, always. There are no schedule reprints needed, no "where are we in the show" questions, and no concerns that people are working off previous show versions. Cons Honestly, it's flexibility makes it a bit overwhelming to get started. You can almost get lost in the possibilities, but once you settle on a format and layout that works for your team it's pretty much unbeatable. Review Source EC Ellie C. Event Manager Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Shoflo is a Game-changer!" December 28, 2016 5.0 It's hard to remember event life before Streamline began using Shoflo. Partially because I've blocked out the spreadsheet formatting nightmares that used to take up so much time. It's been a game-changer for us. The prep time has been cut in half, we've saved on ink with the share features, and calling the shows has become much more efficient. It's easy to use, always finding ways to improve, and I couldn't recommend it highly enough! Pros Live changes, ease of use, sharing, response to improvement suggestions. Cons Every now and then there will be a glitch that needs to be fixed. There is always a shortcut or work around thought to lessen the inconvenience. Review Source AT Andrew T. Media Team Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool for planning productions" December 13, 2016 5.0 The team at Shoflo has been very helpful all the way through the process of testing, sales and implementation. They respond very quickly to questions, and are very knowledgeable about their product. The software itself is actually quite simple to use. Our favorite part of it is the ability to add personal notes for each item in the run. We have started with a very simple implementation and have been slowly adding more to each event as we all become more familiar with the software. The ability for volunteers (our guest pass users) to see all updates as they happen (the guest pass is an active link to the event) is also very helpful. Pros Ease of use. Customer support has been outstanding. Cons No app for mobile devices. Review Source MR Michael R. Technical Director Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product! Great Company!" December 13, 2016 5.0 ShoFlo solved a problem of all the production staff being "on the same page". The ability to setup a "Backstage" screen that lets all involved in the show know what is going on is fantastic. We always had paper run sheets but if something changed during a rehearsal, all the posted run-sheets were instantly obsolete. We looked at several other systems. The problem was that other systems required dedicated hardware or a brand of hardware that not everyone had. Shoflo is cloud based and works with any device. With Shoflo, the stage manager updates the system and every position sees it at once. We love the product. One thing that might make it better: We would like to see the ability to drag and drop rows to rearrange items. Maybe some more flexible import tools. I highly recommend this product. Pros Cloud based; Ease of use Cons Sometimes rearranging rows can be a bit cumbersome if have a lot to do but it not hard. It would not stop me from recommending the product. Review Source AA Amanda A. Conference & Events Consultant Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Tool to Keep Everyone on the Same Page" December 12, 2016 5.0 As a conference consultant I am often called upon to manage many complex general sessions, meal presentations, and other events. In addition to the complexity of the events themselves, there are always many different stakeholders involved. Using Shoflo allows me to give the correct level of access to each individual and allows everyone to be informed. It has cut down on anxious questions and my phone ringing in mid-show since everyone knows what is going to happen next. I really couldn't imagine doing a show without Shoflo! Review Source JW Jonathan W. Assistant AD Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "If it's gameday...it's in SHOFLO" January 25, 2021 5.0 Pros SHOFLO took gameday scripting and structure to the next level. Use it for every sport, every event, every broadcast...all the time. Cons Printing...still do it in some facets and pdfs don't fit the page well sometimes. Review Source MN Mark N. Technical Director Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ShoFlo a must for large events" December 28, 2016 4.0 We have utilized ShoFlo on numerous events over the years and have enjoyed watching ShoFlo grow and develop. We use it on a wide range of shows from small single day, single room events with 100 attendees to multi-room, multi-day events for thousands of attendees. No show is too big or small for the organization ShoFlo provides for us. As ShoFlo has developed, the ShoFlo team has been very open to suggestions for improvement and quick to implement changes to help make our shows a success. It is this wonderful support that truly makes a great product. Pros The flexibility of user display preferences and individual notes. Cons No one particular thing stands out. Typically our biggest issue is when updates are being made the product when we don't expect them and are in the middle of events. Review Source Similar Products Featured
