Prism Launches Much Anticipated Agency Platform

Industry Leading venue and promoter software platform Prism to streamline agency artist management

Prism, the industry leader in live music management software, announced that it has launched its highly anticipated agency platform. Utilizing a recent $8M Series A fund, Prism adds agency support to its management platform offerings.

The Agency platform takes what Prism has built for venues and promoters and adapts it to the needs of agencies. Agency is a big step towards Prism’s vision of providing an end-to-end solution for live music. By connecting the lines between venues, promoters and agencies the entire booking process from hold to contract and settlement is automated through cloud-based, cutting edge technology. Things like manually entering ticket counts are a thing of the past with Prism as they are automatically updated as each ticket is sold. Eventually all redundancies will be eliminated by having offers received through email automatically ported into Prism so there’s no data entry or errors in deals or calculations. This allows industry professionals to spend less time on the inefficiencies of concerts and more time on the music.

The platform allows agents to manage offers, create contracts, curate artist information and manage artist bookings all together in one succinct platform enhancing efficiency and streamlining all aspects of the booking process.

During the past year, Prism has Beta tested the agent portal with strategic partner agencies to ensure the platform is built around real agent needs. Their input has informed the platform’s features and workflow.

“Prism was launched to streamline the artist/venue booking process,” said CEO Matt Ford. “The agency facing side of the platform is a natural evolution that we see creating efficiency in booking talent, contracting and payment for agencies small and large. Our agency Beta Testers have been amazed at the efficiency of their new workflow.”
