Customer Profile
A US-based client needed an all-in-one app solution for music events that would connect the music community, performing artists, and event venues under a single platform.
Issue/Problem
Musicians and artists need to invest a lot of time and effort in finding relevant venues for their gigs and spreading the word amongst the music community. Live concert venue managers too, find it difficult & time-consuming to discover the desired artists who can perform at their venue. Also, there’s no easy way for music concert lovers to stay informed about the upcoming stage shows in their area.
Result
Biz4Solutions helped the client to create a versatile music concert app named Stages.Live Community! The app bridges the gap between performers, venue managers, and the community, by instantly connecting them in real-time. Using Stages.Live Community, artists can find venues, venue managers can book performers, and audiences get information about music events with just a few taps on their smartphones.
Overview
Biz4Solutions developed an all-inclusive music concert app named Stages.Live Community. This is a platform that brings together the entire music world – performing artists, venue organizers, & audiences. As such, tasks like booking concert venues, finding performers, conveying concert information to the community, finding live concert details, etc. become easy, hassle-free, and quick. Artists & musicians can promote themselves by creating a dynamic profile & can add streamed videos to their profiles. They can also book venues and create events so that they are easily discoverable. Venue managers can send a request to artists for live performances. Community users can be created on the live app. Audiences can compare the profiles of various artists available in the app and stay informed on upcoming music shows by those artists. The client is notified if a new venue or artist profile is created. Users can interact with one another using the app’s in-built communication channels.
