06 · Bookings
One link runs the whole booking, and Roster does the thinking.
Bookings, from enquiry to yes
One shareable link runs the whole thing. A promoter fills a booking card, both sides get an email in the same moment, and Roster checks the city, the travel distance and your calendar before you even reply. Here is what happens when someone tries to book your artist.
Promoter opens your link
They fill a short booking card: venue, city, date, fee.
Two emails fire instantly
The promoter gets a 'received' confirmation. You get the enquiry.
Roster checks feasibility
It weighs the city, travel distance and your existing dates.
Calendar verdict
It tells you: clash with an existing hold, or clear to quote.
07 · Around the work
The calendar, rights and deals that keep a career moving.
Calendar
The when: releases, tour dates, studio sessions, press, royalty and contract deadlines, booking holds and focus time, each colour-coded, plus your shareable meeting link. Bookings feed their holds here.
Rights Registration, worldwide

From SAMRO, COSON and GHAMRO in Africa to GEMA, SACEM and PRS in Europe, ECAD and SADAIC in Latin America, and COMPASS and WAMI across South-East Asia.

Track every agreement that pays you, from producer splits to sync licences.
08 · Records
