When BBN Agency Suite is the better fit
Choose the Agency Suite if your agency books in euros and wants the promoter working inside the booking. Every booking gets a portal link where the promoter fills in the advance, swaps documents and messages your team, and email replies land in the same thread. Contracts come from your clause library in English or German; the promoter signs online and you countersign. Artist fee and booking fee invoices run on your own number sequence, with reminders on day 3, 14 and 28 after the due date. Early access has no billing yet. Apply at /apply/agency.

You get offers through the request form, Peppol e-invoices, invoices in several currencies, iCal and Google Calendar feeds, an exclusivity radius on a map and a mobile app for artists and crew. The interface runs in five languages.
