Stage Forge

Features

What Stage Forge actually does

It is one system covering the full life of a job. Here is the whole of it, grouped by the part of the business it serves.

Sales

From enquiry to accepted quote

  • Build quotes from your own catalog, rates and discount rules
  • Branded quote documents with your terms attached
  • Client e-signature and deposit collection
  • An accepted quote turns straight into a job — equipment, crew and dates included
An approved quote in Stage Forge: $52,297.50 total, client link, sent and approved dates, and priced line items for a summer concert series

People

Crew, availability and payroll

  • Crew mark their own availability; you see it against every open position
  • Send a whole batch of invites as one digest email per person
  • Track accepted, declined and still-waiting at a glance
  • Crew report hours, you approve them, payroll runs off the approved numbers
  • Roles and permissions so each person sees only what they should
The crew scheduling grid in Stage Forge: nine crew members with their available and unavailable days marked across two weeks

Gear

Equipment, sub-hires and transport

  • Catalog with assemblies, so a package pulls as one line but ships as its parts
  • Availability conflict checking across every job on the calendar
  • Sub-hire requests when you need to bring gear in
  • Vehicles, drivers and trip legs on the job, with mileage and day rates

On site

Venues, site plans and the day itself

  • Venue records that carry loading dock, power, parking and contact details forever
  • Draw the site plan on a real map — stage, FOH, power runs, truck approach
  • Schedules and call sheets that print in your branding
  • Per-job chat so the day is on the record, not in a group text

Money

Invoicing and the numbers

  • Invoice from the job; take card payments online
  • Deposits, part payments, refunds and voids handled properly
  • Expenses tracked per job across transport, crew and everything else
  • Profit per job from real costs, not estimates
An invoice in Stage Forge with a partial-payment status: subtotal, tax, amount still due, line items, and controls to resend, request a deposit, or let the client pay in installments
