Where Beats Meet Bytes

We’re building the digital twin of music festivals.

Live events run on chaos

A large music festival is a temporary city: water, power, waste, access and logistics must work across a vast site. Temporary teams from many service providers often know neither the site nor one another. Radios, messaging groups and spreadsheets leave managers reconstructing who accepted a job, whether it is progressing and whether it is complete.

Global live-music ticket revenue: €34 billion (model estimate). Large-festival scale: 300+ hectares, 4,000+ staff across 100+ service providers and up to six weeks of setup.

Communication Breakdown

Radio and messaging groups fragment communication. Important information gets lost between teams.

No Task Management

Fragmented records leave responsibility and progress unclear. Managers must chase acceptance and completion.

Inefficient Navigation

Temporary staff often lack site familiarity. Describing locations and escorting colleagues wastes time.

Illustrative staff inefficiency at Parookaville

Illustrative model assumption: 20% staff inefficiency. Reputation and liability add potential exposure; savings are not yet measured.

One platform. Every trade. Real time.

CheckMade is the smart vertical SaaS solution that replaces fragmented analog workflows with a single, map-based operations hub.

01

Structured Messaging

Issue-linked conversations keep messages, responsibility and handling history together. Cross-trade orchestration is planned for 2027.

02

Interactive Maps & Navigation

Site maps connect issues, positions and available staff locations. Turn-by-turn navigation is planned.

03

Centralised Dashboard

Live issue views, assignment, maps and post-event analysis. Broader producer oversight and sensor integration are planned.
