Documentation-first Change management Audit-ready financial structure Venue & promoter liaison

What ATS is

A fractional Tour Operations Department—execution-first, systems-driven, and built to reduce chaos.

  • Tour operations planning + execution
  • Single source of truth + documentation
  • Real-time coordination and risk mitigation

What ATS is not

Clear boundaries keep tours clean.

  • Not artist management
  • Not a staffing agency
  • Not software / SaaS
  • Not corporate event services

Core service

Tour Operations Concierge Service—delivering outcomes, not tools. We design, build, and manage the operational backbone that keeps the tour moving.

Operations

  • Advance management — structured venue workflows, confirmation loops, and show-ready deliverables.
  • Routing, schedules, day sheets — accurate, updated, distributed with discipline.
  • Venue & promoter liaison — calm communication, clear requirements, fewer surprises.
  • Real-time change management — updates made once, reflected everywhere.

Financial discipline

  • Budget tracking & settlement oversight — organized, consistent, audit-ready.
  • Hard costs vs fees separation — clarity for management and accounting.
  • Tour-level chart of accounts — standardized reporting and wrap.
  • Wrap package — final summaries, records, and lessons captured.
Important: ATS does not front hard costs. Clients pay vendors directly, use a dedicated tour card, or pre-fund a float (case-by-case).

Add-ons

Available separately. These are labor-heavy and never bundled.

  • Hospitality & Catering Concierge — sourcing, coordination, and execution support.
  • Transportation & Logistics Procurement — vendor sourcing and coordination.
  • Plug-In Staffing — TM, PM, coordinators, show support (scoped).

Operating principles

  • Documentation beats memory — the tour runs on truth, not tribal knowledge.
  • Systems beat heroics — repeatability reduces burnout.
  • Calm beats chaos — tone is a tool.
  • Execution beats theory — deliverables over decks.

Who we serve

Mid-tier to large-scale tours, festivals, and special productions.

  • Artist teams — management, agents, and internal operations.
  • Independent promoters — scalable operational support.
  • Festivals & special events — disciplined coordination under pressure.
