Why GIGXCHANGE Beats Spreadsheets
You can't scale a roster on emails and WhatsApp.
Most independent booking agents manage artists across email threads, shared spreadsheets, and WhatsApp groups. Every booking means manually chasing confirmations, writing contracts from scratch, and calculating commissions by hand.
GigXchange centralises everything. Your full roster in one dashboard, auto-generated contracts for every booking in under 1 minute, a commission rate set per artist, and direct messaging with venues across 80 cities. You set your own commission rate (typically 10% to 25%) per artist, and the platform handles the paperwork. Your artists, the venues they book, and promoters running multi-act events all get their own dashboard view.
