An illustrative workspace. The business, people and figures are fictional.
Runbooks for the steps you can't skip
Site visits, load-in, show day and load-out become checklist templates. Attach one to any task, project, booking or deal, and the production manager sees exactly what is signed off and what is still open, item by item.

An event bible and a room for every job
Each event is a project on a timeline, with the run of show, call sheet and supplier list as pages in its folio. Floor plans and stage plots keep their versions in Files, and freelance crew and the client's event lead join the project's room as guests.
- Project phases and a timeline per event
- A folio for every project, open to the people on it
- Versioned floor plans with expiring share links
- Guests see their event and nothing else
Enquiries, proposals and tickets
The enquiry form asks for date, guest count, venue and budget, and creates a contact and a deal. Proposals are service packages with milestone contracts for the deposit, the balance and the final reconciliation. For public shows, tickets are products whose stock is the capacity.
- Deals and pipelines with stage automations
- Services, packages and milestone contracts
- Ticket types as product variants with stock
- Invoices and checkout paid into your own Stripe account
Sale to show to wrap, connected
Show pages on the Sonaris site sell tickets from the catalog, and a shared inbox answers attendee questions with every thread on the contact. Flows turns a won deal into a project, a contract and a site visit, delivers each e-ticket, and tells the show room when load-in is done.
- A storefront and event pages on your own domain
- Shared inboxes for enquiries and attendee questions
- Digital delivery for e-tickets

Every event, crew and client on one schedule
The enquiry, the proposal, the floor plan, the runbooks, the crew room and the final invoice all belong to one event project. The office and the crew on site are looking at the same thing.
