What you get with Showpath
Built for sound, lighting and video companies of two to fifteen people, from the first inquiry to the last payment.
Crew costs worked out
Weekly overtime for W-2 crew worked out, not just flagged, per diem and mileage on their own lines, and 1099 totals by tax year. Nothing is withheld: the figures go to whoever runs your payroll.
The tax where the show is
Sales tax from the rate you save for each venue or area, with gear, labor, delivery and the damage waiver each taxed as you set.
Show files on the event
Run of show, input list, stage plot, wireless frequencies checked for spacing and intermod, and a power plan checked against 80% of each breaker.
Drivers checked before they go
The license class and DOT medical card you record for a driver are checked against the truck's weight before they are put on the run.
Insurance kept per event
Certificates of insurance on each event beside the venue's requirements, with a warning before a policy runs out.
Holds that speak up
Hold a date or pencil it in, and you are warned when another show wants the same gear on those days.
