How to Switch from Artifax to Crescat

The importance of the right system

As a venue operator, it's crucial to have a system that works at the fast pace of live production and is tailored to your venue's workflow. There are many software options out there, but there is often a big difference in suitability for your business.


➡️ Maybe the interface is old and tired.
➡️ Maybe it’s too difficult for your team to use effectively.
➡️ Perhaps it keeps getting pricier and pricier each year.
➡️ Or maybe it’s missing the features your team actually needs.


Either way, you’re not alone.


Many venues are exploring the market for alternatives. One of those alternatives is Crescat.

The importance of the right system

Why Crescat?

Crescat is a collaborative software solution for venue management. It provides Venue managers with a unified platform to effectively plan, oversee, and carry out venue operations, all while enjoying real-time insights and optimised workflows.


The software features an all-encompassing dashboard that enables users to monitor all events and activities, alongside tools for managing team members, event templates, running orders, and task coordination among different teams.


All the features are built to minimise mistakes, increase collaboration, eliminate email back and forth, and improve operational oversight for venues. By integrating these diverse tools into one cohesive system, Crescat empowers venue operators to focus on creativity and execution rather than administrative hassles.

With Crescat Venue we have finally found that one tool that we can rely on all the way from an artist hold, throughout the advance process and until the production trailer door is closed.

Before Crescat, information could easily get lost between employees, and everyone had their own system for managing their part. Crescat has helped us become more transparent and experience less stress when concert day actually occurs. I'm very happy with our decision to go with Crescat
