What it is
Advance with Me (AWM) is production management software for live events. Tour managers, production teams, venues, and festivals use it to keep each show's advance in one structured system: venue details, tech specs, schedules, labor calls, riders, files, travel, lodging, guest lists, and crew access, instead of scattered emails, PDFs, and spreadsheets.
Key facts
- Category: tour management software / advancing software for live music and events.
- Platform: web application, runs in any modern browser with nothing to install.
- Mobile: AWM Go, a native app for iPhone and iPad with offline support, on the App Store.
- Built by a working tour manager with nearly a decade of touring, together with a veteran software engineer.
- Used on club, amphitheater, and arena runs.
- AI-assisted intake: autopopulate fills advance fields automatically from uploaded tech packs, routing sheets, travel confirmations, rooming lists, schedules, labor calls, and riders; every field stays editable and your team keeps final say.
- Venue collaboration: venues and local contacts edit only assigned sections of an advance through an invite link, with no paid seat.
- Crew access: view-only, party-scoped schedules, travel, and lodging with passwordless magic-link sign-in, free on every plan.
- Guest lists: pass types, allotments, cutoffs, approvals, public request links that need no account, revocable box-office share pages, printable badges.
- Master Tour migration: a built-in importer moves a full tour (show days, advances, daysheet schedules, travel, hotels, crew, pass types) using the customer's own pro Master Tour API key, read-only on the Master Tour side.
- Exports: formatted PDFs for daysheets, labor calls, riders, and related documents.
