“Saves me and the crew hours every week — coordination is finally easy.”
Heath Baldwin · Owner · HB Sound & Lighting
“Cadence Ops replaced our production spreadsheet jungle. One system for the whole festival — crew, logistics, permits, finance.”
Nick Thompson · Festival Operations · Bush Doof
“Starting Erectus Stretch Tents, I wanted to make sure the operations side was set up properly from day one — not cobbled together on notes and group chats like most event businesses end up. Cadence Ops has given me a proper system to manage bookings, crew, gear and client comms all in one place. As we grow, I know the back-end will scale with us. Really glad I found it early.”

Customer story

From spreadsheet jungle to one live ops view.

The problem

Crew assignments lived in WhatsApp. Gear allocations lived in a shared spreadsheet. Quotes lived in PDFs. Nothing reconciled — and show-day questions ended in a phone call.

The switch

Clients, events, crew and inventory handed to Cadence Ops in chat and filed automatically. The next show was run in Cadence Ops in parallel for a single cycle, then the whole calendar moved across.

The result

One live event pipeline, one set of call sheets, and margin per event visible while the show was still being scoped. Coordination stopped being a meeting.

“Saves me and the crew hours every week — coordination is finally easy.”

What changes when you switch

Four outcomes production teams ask us for. All four, on day one.

Calmer show days

Stop running shows out of WhatsApp and seven spreadsheets.

  • Single run sheet per event with live status
  • Crew call sheets and check-ins in one place
  • Cadence Ops answers "what's the status of…" in seconds

Higher margin per event

Know what every show actually made — before the invoice goes out.

  • Quote → invoice → margin live per event
  • Logistics, gear and crew costs roll up automatically
  • Catch under-quoted shows before they ship

More shows, same team

Take on the next event without burning out the crew that ran the last one.

  • Crew availability and conflicts visible at a glance
  • Inventory and kits prevent double-booking
  • Templated run sheets and contracts cut setup time

Compliance & risk handled

Sleep easy on insurance, permits and inductions.

The platform

The operating system for live events.

Clients & CRM

Contacts, history, contracts, revenue — one record.

Documents

Contracts, riders, run sheets, versioned.

Agent API

Scoped REST tokens for external systems. Hermes Agent & Agentzero A0 support is in preview. Enterprise.

AI controls built for real operations

Your assistant only sees what it's allowed to see.

Write access is off unless an owner enables it. Every AI action is logged — who requested it, what changed, and when. The same controls extend to the Agent API for external systems.

Security & trustAgent API docs

  • Read-only AI mode

    Starter and Professional run the assistant in read-only mode. It can answer, summarise and surface gaps, but it can't change a thing.

  • Owner-controlled write access

    Write access is off by default. Only a workspace owner can turn it on, and it can be revoked the same way.

  • Scoped Agent API tokens

    Generate bearer tokens with fine-grained scopes — events:read, events:write, site_map:read. No shared passwords.

  • Role & permission checks

    Every AI and token action runs through the same role and permission checks as a logged-in operator.

  • RLS-scoped data access

    Row-level security in the database — the assistant sees only what the requesting user is allowed to see. Tenant boundaries are enforced at the data layer.

  • Full audit trail

    Every AI action and token call is logged: prompt, scope, change, actor and timestamp. Export anytime.

  • Approval workflows

    Sensitive actions can require explicit human sign-off before the AI commits the change.

  • Simulation mode

    Preview what a change would do before it happens — no mystery writes, no broken assumptions.

  • Blast-radius containment

    Bulk operations are capped, scoped and reversible. Undo controls keep mistakes recoverable.

  • Workspace isolation

    Multi-tenant by design. Your workspace is your boundary — no cross-tenant queries, ever.

Agent integrations

Three steps to put your ops behind an agent.

Explore Agent API
  1. 1
    Mint a scoped token
    Settings → Agent API. Pick scopes (events:read, events:write, …).
  2. 2
    Register the OpenAPI spec
    Point your agent at /api/public/agent/v1/openapi.json — tools auto-discover.
  3. 3
    Your agent runs your ops
    Every call is RLS-scoped, signed and written to the audit log.

Hermes Agent and Agentzero A0 integrations in preview · Custom plans

Built for every kind of event operation

Pick the shape of your operation. Cadence Ops fits.

Festivals

Coordinate volunteers, permits, site operations, ticketing, compliance and multi-day logistics from one place.

AV production companies

Track crew, gear, trucks, quotes and margins across multiple concurrent shows without relying on spreadsheets.

Touring crews

Run sheets, call sheets, freight manifests and per-leg compliance — visible to the whole road party on phone or tablet.

Corporate events

Quote, contract, deliver and reconcile branded conferences and activations with the margin per event in plain sight.

Venues

Manage the production side of every event your venue hosts — incoming crew, gear, run sheets and finance, in one operational view.

Agencies

Production-ready ops behind the creative — clients, scopes, suppliers, compliance and live margin per activation.

Why Cadence Ops

Why not just use spreadsheets and a group chat?

Because every tool you're already using was built for something else. Here's the honest comparison.

vs. Spreadsheets + WhatsApp

Spreadsheets don't talk to each other, and group chats don't have memory. Cadence Ops keeps crew, gear, docs and finance connected — so nothing depends on someone checking their phone at the right moment.

vs. Generic project management tools

PM tools weren't built for load-in schedules, gear conflicts or compliance expiry. Cadence Ops maps to how shows actually run, not how a generic task board thinks work happens.

vs. Generic event software

Most event platforms stop at ticketing and registration. Cadence Ops covers what happens before and after the ticket — crew, logistics, compliance and margin.

vs. AI wrappers with no operational guardrails

Bolting a chatbot onto your ops doesn't make it safer or smarter. Cadence Ops scopes every action to specific permissions and logs everything — so automation never means losing control.

Ticketing integration

Fast check-in, built into your operations.

Use the built-in door check-in on a phone or tablet, with fast, real-time QR scanning, live admit counts and duplicate flags. External ticketing connections remain under validation.

External sync · previewTryBooking · soonMoshtix · soonOztix · soon

External sync preview

External ticketing connections are being validated before they are presented as generally available.

Door check-in

Open the check-in screen on any phone or tablet. Scan QR tickets, see live admit counts, and flag duplicates instantly.

Revenue in finance

Gross sales and payouts land in your finance module automatically — margin per event includes ticket revenue, not just quotes.

Version 2 · Coming late 2026

A glimpse at what's next.

One operating system for ticketing, access, settlement and operations — built for extreme scale and the people actually running the show.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Will my crew actually use this?

It's built around how shows actually run — pipeline to reconciliation — not a generic project board retrofitted for events. The workflows match load-in schedules, gear conflicts and show-day comms, so adoption doesn't fight muscle memory.

What happens to our existing spreadsheets and docs?

You bring them with you. Hand Cadence Ops your run sheets, spreadsheets and vendor lists in chat and it reads them, organises the information and files it against the right clients, events and gear. Larger migrations are part of onboarding. You're not starting from a blank system.

Can we control what Cadence Ops can touch?

Yes. Every permission is scoped by role, every write is logged, and the owner controls whether Cadence Ops is read-only or allowed to make changes. The Agent API uses the same scoped-token model for external systems.

Is there a contract lock-in?

No. Plans are month-to-month unless you choose annual pricing. You own your data and can export at any time.

How long does setup take?

Most teams are running their first event inside two weeks. Templates, guided onboarding and handing your existing documents to Cadence Ops do most of the lifting.

How does ticket check-in work?

Use the built-in check-in screen on a phone or tablet to scan QR tickets, see live admit counts and flag duplicates. External ticketing integrations are not advertised as live yet.

Do you support external tools and agents?

Yes. The Agent API exposes your ops with fine-grained read/write scopes and full audit logs — the same permission model as the core platform. Hermes Agent and Agentzero A0 integrations are in preview.
