If you're an agent or manager you need this.

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.

Vendor Response

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

Gigwell Review

Gigwell has been very prompt with their customer service, and in working with us to create new features that meet our needs. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is the best!

PROS

The interface is very clean and easy to navigate. The fact that it is cloud-based software is also a huge plus as it's easy for our remote employees to get set up with. Certain features such as auto ticket count reach out, contract issuing/reminders through Hellosign, the ability to pre-save terms/phrases, infinite filters/data points in searching/creating reports, integration with Google and the artist roster pages are timesavers. The management/artist view (for non-users) is also very efficient and helpful for our teams that use it.

CONS

The fact that Gigwell Track does not integrate with Gigwell Book is frustrating as it creates extra work. The inability to use multiple currencies in one booking (in the example of US artists playing international dates) requires us to use inefficient work-arounds, and is becoming a larger issue as we increase our number of international bookings. All reports are pulled via CSV, but it would be nice to be able to pull any report, at any time as a pdf with our company logo on it, instead of needing a custom template for every type of report (although the Gigwell team has been helpful with creating these templates for us!). Finally, there are a couple deal structures that Gigwell does not have a way of accurately inputting in their system.

Reason for choosing Gigwell

Cost and innovative features.

Vendor Response

Hi Ellen, thanks for the honest feedback. We hope to integrate Track with Book in the near future. That said, we have a very easy way to export dates in a CSV file from Book and import it into Track. Reach out to support@gigwell.com so we can add the Track template to your account. All reports can be exported as a CSV or PDF file and can be customized. Let us know the changes you need and we can help with them. We've added multi-currency deals and other deal types to our feature request queue. Thanks!

Good for basic features, disappointing for anything else

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.

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.

Vendor Response

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.

Sole Proprietor Agency User

Excellent. Staff is terrific in responding to issues and fielding questions. System is easy to use. My issues noted above that would help me streamline for my business.

PROS

Gigwell has stood out from the beginning for its support. Love the staff! I get responses immediately if something is not working, and they pay attention to my requests for improvements to the product, if it's viable to implement.

CONS

Noted above -- would prefer a few more "Roles" feature (Community Engagement, Executive Director). would prefer a date-delineated notepad that augments the Notes feature in Contact files.On itineraries, would like to see "Activities" separated out from "Ground Transportation". My artists often do school visits, or other community engagement, and it muddies the Itinerary to have that grouped with car rentals, etc.

Reason for choosing Gigwell

Price was good for the service. I had also decided to move from desktop based to cloud-based software, which has been great since I can access from any device. Respected colleagues were using it.

Reasons for switching to Gigwell

Artifax stopped supporting its booking software, which it phased out. Just concentrates on event and venue software

Vendor Response

Aloha, Karen! We recently added a few more roles (ie. Liaison Contact, Ticket Counts Contact, Venue Contact, etc) for buyers and venues. That said, you can add Community Engagement and Executive Director in the contact role (job title) instead. Reach out to support@gigwell.com to show you how to add the job title to the buyer contact. Cheers!

Review of Gigwell from [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

Helps us keep everything together. Really acts as a glue to hold things together and driver to push booking forward.

PROS

The integration with google and other software, invoicing and payment features.

CONS

The calendar integration and onboarding of artists was always a little tricky, oftentimes for the artists.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the feedback! We've recently improved the artist onboarding flow and added new features and permissions. Please reach out to support@gigwell.com as some features are still in closed beta. We're happy to enable them for you!
