THE WHOLE SITE

Cover every function on site

From gates and accreditation to stewarding, welfare and production, every team has a different job to do. That is where festival staffing software comes in. Liveforce brings the people, roles and schedules together, so everyone knows where they need to be and what they’re there to do.

  • Organise every function in one place, with the people, roles and shifts needed to run it.
  • Give each team clear responsibilities, locations, call times and supervisors.
  • See how your workforce is spread across the site, so gaps can be spotted before they become problems.
  • Keep the whole operation connected as people, priorities and plans change throughout the event.

BUILD, SHOW, BREAK

Roster the whole run

A festival doesn’t stand still. Teams arrive, roles change, and staffing levels shift from build through to show days and breakdown. Liveforce keeps every stage organised with festival staff scheduling software, so the right people know where they need to be and when.

  • Plan each stage separately, with the right roles and crew for build, show days and breakdown.
  • Coordinate changing teams and call times across days, nights and different areas of the site.
  • Give crew a clear view of their work, so they know when they’re needed, where they’re going and what they’re doing.
  • Keep everyone informed as plans change, without relying on spreadsheets, group chats and last-minute messages.

AT SCALE

Hundreds of crew, still one team

Festival workforces can grow quickly, and so must your staffing solutions for festivals. Liveforce gives your operations team a clear view across hundreds of crew, helping them stay organised, responsive and in control as the numbers increase.

  • See availability across your entire crew pool, without chasing people individually.
  • Reach the right people quickly when more crew are needed or plans change.
  • Track responses and confirmations in real time, so your team always knows where things stand.
  • Manage hundreds of people with the same clarity as fifty, without adding more admin as the festival grows.

  • Match qualifications and requirements to specific roles, so you know who’s suitable for what.
  • See missing or expired documents early, while there’s still time to put them right.
  • Arrive on site knowing your workforce is checked, organised and ready to work.

THE PAY RUN

Turn a weekend of work into hours you can trust

When hundreds of people are working different roles, rates and shifts, accurate hours matter across your festival event staffing. Liveforce captures time as the festival happens, giving your team a clear record of who worked, when and where.

  • Let crew check in and out from their phones, creating an accurate record of every shift.
  • Keep different roles, rates and working patterns connected, across long days, late nights and multiple shifts.
  • Review and approve hours in one place, without piecing together timesheets after the event.
  • Turn approved hours into payroll-ready reports, so your finance team has what it needs to get everyone paid.

Customer Stories

“Before, we were managing four separate sets of information that never quite matched. With Liveforce, the whole operation ran from one place. That alone changed how the team worked on match days.”
