Owner Agent Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Gigwell is easy to use" January 5, 2023 5.0 Pros Gigwell is easy to use for me to create and track contracts. Another perk is having Gigwell feed into a shared google calendar to my clients can see tentative and confirmed dates. Cons Improvement is needed in updating contact information. For example, if you change or add an address for a contact, it sometimes takes refreshing the page numerous times to have the address come up for the contract. Review Source Response from Gigwell April 10, 2023 Hey Penni, thank you for your feedback. We just wanted to clarify that we don't automatically update the contact information for existing bookings after you make changes. However, we do provide an "Update Booking" button in the Buyer tab, which will update the contact information for each booking. If you'd like to learn more about this feature, please don't hesitate to contact us at support@gigwell.com. We're always here to help! SM Scott M. Owner Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Stop doing all of this work in excel and word and get on a platform - time is money crew! " January 14, 2023 5.0 Gigwell has saved me a lot of time through getting bookings confirmed faster, allowing payments to be done in a more professional way. The settlements with the artists fits their needs and advancing artists is a breeze through all of gigwell's templates that come standard with the platform. If any issues arise you get someone from their core team right on chat with you to tackle that problem with you and it gets done. I have worked with other platforms like gig-well and by far they take the cake. Pros I used to work contracts via word so structuring every deal and making all of the modifications manually which would take a lot of time. Gig-well changed my whole workflow - and it makes it easier on my clients as well as DropBox Sign handles all of the electronic signatures and if redlining needs to happen the buyer can download the PDF and do the needed work up and gig-well then allows you to upload the completed contract when all is ready. Cons Advancing for artists can not be done through an iPad if modifications need to be made - only on a computer. Everything else is legit. Review Source Response from Gigwell April 10, 2023 Thanks for the feedback, Scott! You can modify advancing details on any device! Please send me a note to support@gigwell.com and we'll take a look. Cheers! TM Ty M. Owner Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Gigwell for Talent Buyers" January 9, 2023 3.0 Overall the support has been great. There are many features that seem simple that the product can't do, but more specifically for my business. It's an extremely nice software for booking agencies looking to book a handful of artists, as the focus is artist rich as opposed to venue rich. Pros Gigwell is definitely feature rich, and well thought out for Booking Agents Cons It's very cumbersome for my role as a talent buyer booking 15-30 local shows a week for 20+ venues and 50 artists. Reason for choosing Gigwell I chose Gigwell because it demoed well. My list of prepared questions were answered, but a couple of them were answered incorrectly leaving me frustrated during and after deployment. But, due to the absence of products for what we do, Gigwell would still be my most recommended solution. Review Source Response from Gigwell April 10, 2023 Thanks for the honest feedback, Ty! Feel free to reach out to us via email at support@gigwell.com to discuss your workflow. We would be happy to assist you in optimizing and streamlining your workflow further. Many talent buyers use Gigwell for their venues, so we're happy to share best practices with you. Cheers! LF Leah F. Booking / Logistics Coordinator Music Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Its good but could be better" January 5, 2023 4.0 Overall, Gigwell is great but could use some extra features to eliminate unnecessary steps. Pros I like that you can enter bookings, invoices, and advancing details all in one program. Cons I don't like that you can't give levels of access to artists teams. Only certain people should be able to see the financials. Please add this feature where you can allow someone to have all access, and then access that only allows you to see the date, deal terms, and promoter contacts. Also, the ticket count program could use an upgrade. You can't delete tours only rename them. Also, when you click on the tour you can't see which dates are under that that specific one. If there was a feature that allowed a show to populate from GW to the ticket count program that would eliminate the extra steps of having to open a separate program and enter the same show. Review Source Response from Gigwell April 10, 2023 Hey Leah, thank you for your feedback. We offer five different levels of access for artist teams. Two of these roles, Artist Owner and Artist Manager, provide full access to the deal terms, expenses, logistics, contacts, and more. Additionally, we have an effortless way to generate a report for ticket counts in Productivity Suite (Book) and then import it to Ticket Counts Pro (Track). If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us at support@gigwell.com. We'd be happy to review both of these items with you. Thanks! JE Janice E. Weddings & Special Events Manager Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great but needs more improvement!" January 9, 2023 4.0 I love being able to put details in there and customize how everyone in the team can view and access it. It does however is expensive, and our clients always complain of hidden charges when they pay using the platform. There are also non-customizable features that I think should be, especially event services and management differ for every company Pros The software has all the details we, and the artists need to refer to in terms of venue, rates, timing, etc. Cons It's not user friendly for someone who is just starting. It took me 6 months and more to get accustomed to it Switched from [Tripleseat](https://www.capterra.com/p/118047/Tripleseat/) Tripleseat was for the most part catered for restaurants so a lot of the things there were for tables and reservations. We catered to DJs therefore needed something to support that. Review Source Response from Gigwell April 10, 2023 Thank you, Janice, for sharing your feedback. Like with any software, there may be a learning curve involved, and our booking software is no exception. Generally, it takes about 3-5 bookings to become accustomed to the software's features and functionality. We also offer personalized training for new users, as well as biweekly webinars to help users get up to speed quickly. Additionally, we can simplify the feature set for smaller agencies that don't need all of the functionality. ZH Zach H. owner / agent Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good for basic features, disappointing for anything else " January 5, 2023 2.0 It's good for a very basic contract experience however other than entering a contract I've outsourced all other features. It's too difficult to use the other features, etc. I wish that it could do a bit more. Pros Entering a basic contract is simple and it's pretty easy to navigate around the software. Cons It's hard to use for any other features. The software also doesn't do currency conversions easily, which is a big problem for my business. Accounting features are too difficult to use. I basically just use it to enter a simple contract that I download and send manually, nothing else. For this it's great however would be great if it could do a few more things. Alternatives considered [Prism](https://www.capterra.com/p/176434/Prism/) Reason for choosing Gigwell A friend of mine who I trust uses the software and was able to get me a decent review before buying it. Review Source Response from Gigwell April 10, 2023 Hey Zach, we appreciate your honest feedback. Just to let you know, our system can handle currency conversions. As for the accounting features, there may be a bit of a learning curve involved, but if you ensure that all payments are recorded for each booking, the reports should be straightforward and precise. If you're interested, please get in touch with us at support@gigwell.com, and we can help you optimize your workflow and discuss both items further. JS Jon S. Agent Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jon Sax" December 22, 2022 4.0 It has been an improvement from Overture, although there are definitely areas for improvement. Pros I like that I can filter all of my events to quickly gauge which promoters have paid and which ones haven't. Cons The querying ability to look back on previous events is very challenging. This could definitely be improved. I want to be able to quickly query past events by artist, city, venue, promoter. Review Source Response from Gigwell April 10, 2023 Jon, thanks for the feedback! We offer a straightforward way of retrieving data by utilizing the reports filters. You can effortlessly search for events based on any criteria such as event location, artist, promoter, and more. Our filter-builder mechanism enables you to construct more complex queries. Please contact us at support@gigwell.com to arrange a call and explore reports. AR Allen R. Talent Agent and Manager Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Gigwell Review for Talent Agency" April 19, 2024 5.0 Gigwell costumer service is top notch. I have zero complaints, the staff are always extremely helpful and quick to respond. Pros Having everything in one platform is extremely valuable including all invoicing/payments Cons I wish they had the ticket count feature included in this platform Switched from [Booking Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/204312/Booking-Agency-Software/) It did not have enough features and you could not invoice or record payments Review Source Response from Gigwell May 1, 2024 Thanks for the comments, Allen. Please reach out to discuss Ticket Counts options. We are happy to work with you :) SV Stuart V. Head of Marshall Live Agency Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Just Perfect!" January 9, 2023 5.0 From start to finish the team have been incredible to work with, perfect product with the perfect team (big mention to Bradley!) Pros \- Ease of use- Intuitive- Does exactly what you need it to do Cons \- Nothing, any features we ever need, a quick message to support and they help us work out a way to do it Reason for choosing Gigwell Overture is too complicated, to do simple tasks you have to do far too many steps to get there Review Source Gina M. Artist Manager Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "If you're an agent or manager you need this." January 6, 2023 5.0 There are so many benefits to this software. It asks all the right questions and allows our artists to know all of the facts about their shows. Pros I really love how the software integrates with Google Calendar and Google docs. Saves so much work. Cons Some things are really difficult to configure and I am constantly calling on support to do things that are complicated. And sometimes Gigwell can't do it. There are some features I don't use because I can't figure out how they work. Review Source Response from Gigwell April 10, 2023 Thanks for the honest feedback, Gina. Please send us a message to support@gigwell.com to review your workflow and share best practices. We can also simplify your features if you are not using them all. Thanks BT Bradley T. Record Label/Agency Music Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Gigwell: Such a solid solution for all sized booking agencies. " January 9, 2023 5.0 Pros I love that it's super easy to get a booking into the system quickly, but still robust enough for me to get tons of details in there if wanted to. Plenty of room for us to grow into. The ability to Sync Calendars with artists is top-notch. Artists being able to log into their "artist accounts" to see all their gig details in the browser app is super useful. Makes everything so easy and PRO!!!! The company itself seems to have a team that actually is in the music/entertainment industry, so they really help a lot. Sometimes even just by consulting you on how to really streamline your business, not just the tool itself. That said, they still manage to run the company like a proper software company with useful updates being rolled out quite often. Cons There is a mild learning curve as with any software, so if you're willing to put in an hour or so to meet them via Zoom, their onboarding team is more than willing to get you properly set up and ready to go ASAP! Any other cons I might have had last year, seem to have been sorted out. Reason for choosing Gigwell It was the only system that didn't feel like I was using a glorified Excel sheet and also seemed to be the most robust. Review Source AS Audrey S. Assistant Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Happy with the product only one issue really " January 11, 2023 4.0 Overall the experience is pretty easy. The software makes sense and has a lot of great features. I really appreciate the fast customer support and I enjoy using the software. I think it's really great. Pros its pretty easy to use, customer support is great. Cons It would be great if when inputting promoter expenses, it would actually work correctly. There is a spot to put both the estimated cost and then the final cost and when entering these numbers, they automatically revert to the final cost. It would be great if we could get this feature fixed. it's been flawed for a while now. Also sometimes after muting a radius clause violation it will not go away even it the violation has been cleared. Review Source Response from Gigwell April 10, 2023 Hi Audrey, thanks for the feedback. Please send us a message to support@gigwell.com to discuss buyer expenses. Regarding the radius alert, we make the terms visible even if it's muted, however, it won't trigger the alert. We're happy to review both items over a call. Thanks! SM Simon M. Director Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Gigwell top notch " January 6, 2023 5.0 I like the layout and the fictionality of Gigwell. it makes sense and is quick to pick up. Pros yeah its super easy to use & the customer service is always great if I ever get stuck with anything. Its super fast to contracting & invoice clients. Managing the whole booking process from contracting to advancing is really well organised and easy to use. Cons Id really like there to be a good way of using Gigwell as crm database as well. Reason for choosing Gigwell System one felt over complicated. Review Source DV David V. Booking Coordinator Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "David's Review" January 6, 2023 4.0 Overall Gigwell has been very helpful with staying organized. A system like this is very necessary for a company that looks after over 100 artists. It would be too difficult to keep track of everything otherwise. Pros I like the multi-functionality and the fact that I can input certain info into templates (contracts and invoices, for example) Cons Sometimes it takes very long to load certain things, or I have to refresh the page a few times in order to get to the page I am trying to get to. Review Source Response from Gigwell April 10, 2023 Thanks for the comment, David. Please reach out to support@gigwell.com so we can check your dashboard's performance. No need to hit refresh a few times just to get to the page you want! Keep us posted. LH Laramie H. Owner Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "LOVE Their customer service!" April 23, 2024 4.0 Pros ALL OF THE FEATURES-ESPECIALLY AUTOMATIC DOCUMENTS! Cons THE GOOGLE CALENDAR INTEGRATIONS IS DIFFICULT!!! Review Source Response from Gigwell May 1, 2024 Laramie! Please connect with us to discuss Google Calendar. Google recently implemented an "Opt-In" email when a calendar is shared and makes it cumbersome. That said, you could create the calendars first on your Google Account and seamless link it to Gigwell. Please reach out to support@gigwell.com CT Caroline T. Booking Coordinator Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Gigwell Review" December 23, 2022 4.0 Pros The customization is really endless. We’re able to use multiple functions Cons The glitches - the calendar specifically has glitches when you go to a previous or future month Review Source Response from Gigwell April 10, 2023 Hi Caroline, please reach out to support@gigwell.com to review the calendar glitches. Thanks! DB Dena B. CEO Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I absolutely LOVE gigwell! I love the features and the support but the learn curve has been steep." December 7, 2017 5.0 Ease of contracts. Ease of getting paid. Once the program is learned, ease of booking. The multiple options makes it so easy to be clear with clients what they are booking and how the deal is being crafted. Pros I love the ease of contracts now, especially your ability to sign and get paid with just the push of a button. The tech support is stellar. Our rep is Antonio and I think he a member of my family now. It's like having in-house support for this software. Antonio has also worked with us to customize our website contact cells so we get the information we need right from the start. The color coded process that's used to tell you where you are in the booking process has also been helpful to stay on top of gigs, know when deposits are due and help move the gigs through the process. Cons The learning curve has been steep for me mostly when customizing the contracts for our needs. We have a number of different types of gigs we book and making the changes to the templates has been a pain but in the long run I know it will make us very efficient. BUT, as I said, the tech support has been phenomenal and has made learning the system much less difficult. I would like to see more tutorials so I can learn the system at my pace. Review Source CD Christavus D. Personal Artist Manager Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Get it you will like it" July 2, 2023 5.0 I have to use the program more,but when I am in it, it is easy to use. Pros It's really easy to use and the customer service is excellent Cons I can't say there is anything about Gigwell we don't like. Review Source Marc W. CEO Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "We are delighted!" April 24, 2018 5.0 Would be difficult to run this business without Gigwell Pros I came from an agency where we used our own (VERY EXPENSIVE!) proprietary software. When I researched several other solutions from around the world and even went through the demos....I decided on Gigwell. I haven't been disappointed. It's been a complete delight from signup to implementation to support....the Gigwell team has been stellar. I can't say enough good things about them and I recommend them to everyone who may have a need for this kind of software. Cons There were a couple of features that we would have liked to see in the software, but before we could mention it....Gigwell had already added those features. It's like they could read our minds. Review Source JH Jessie H. Booking Agent Used the software for: 2+ years ### "So happy with this service can't imagine life without it" December 5, 2017 5.0 Streamline booking process, better organization, better workflow. Pros Gigwell had made my life so much easier. They simplified the booking process, made it easy to accept payments, keep track of bookings, organize logistics, and send contracts. The customer support from gigwell is amazing and always available to help. Their whole team is helpful if you get stuck on something and really great with helping you learn the software when your still learning. Always recommend this product to my peers :) Review Source KF Kaye F. Talent Agent Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The solution to all my booking programme problems!" December 1, 2022 5.0 It is the answer to my numerous requirements in a all in one booking system. It is automating my processes and helping me keep clear comprehensive records Pros The event dashboard, calendar and payments sections are revolutionising my workload! So easy to be across all bookings EVERY day. Customer support is exceptional Cons I am still training myself of all the many features so it does require effort to learn the procedures and input your data but I think it is worth it Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "So far, so good! I am still relatively new but am enjoying the program so far. " December 6, 2017 5.0 Pros I like that it is linked with many websites and can pull an artist from a Facebook page or a venue contact from google. It makes things quicker and easier. I love that the booking form can be posted online and then the information that is filled in automatically is used to populate a contract. I also think the customer service is probably the best I have had for any program! Cons The one thing I am not a huge fan of is how 'strict' the inputting of certain information is and that I need customer service to reformat some templates in order to display information in a slightly different way. Maybe a little more flexibility on certain scheduling/multiple dates type information. Review Source JF Jack F. Executive Vice President Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "On our way!" November 19, 2019 5.0 Once everyone is on the same page it will help a great deal with contracting and collecting! Pros If you are tech-minded, this software is VERY intuitive once you've been trained. I like the speed of things. Cons The older agents in my company are having a bit of a difficult time learning. Though the software is built for our industry, our company has always done things differently. Reason for choosing Gigwell Better customization and stateside support Review Source JP Jacque P. Band Manager Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Overall Booking Solution" November 20, 2018 4.0 It has automated many of our functions. Not quite perfect, but definitely great to have. Pros Love the fact that the entire process is all online. This greatly assists with getting contracts signed, returned & invoices paid on a timely basis. Cons It needs to include a CRM system as well. This way all communication can be tracked from beginning of the sales process (lead emails, etc.) through event management (vendor/client communication) the end (feedback, referrals). It also doesn't allow you to send info to all the parties involved (artist, sound, lighting, staging, venue, client (planner, accounting), etc.) Each person needs different info and we should be able to send that with a stroke of a key without having to reformat every time. Review Source AH Annabel H. Accounts Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Accountant review " June 17, 2019 4.0 Gigwell is going well so far, just needs a few things fixed from accounts end - e.g settlement reports for artists - displaying the fee when hovering over the gig would be really helpful also Pros The look of the interface, the functions when putting deductions in for artists. Recording payments so it can go straight in to be settled for that artist. Cons Invoicing, as we send a lot of invoices, it does not work as well as an accounting system e.g xero.
