As I am in the industry, Booking crew for a tour still runs on text messages, spreadsheets, and a production manager's memory of who was good in Cleveland in 2019. The specific thing that never made sense to me: a production manager holds five people for the same dates because they know four will fall through, and the crew have no idea where they stand. You are "on hold" for a tour, so you turn down other work, and then nobody calls. Everyone in this business has a story about it. ProTourBooking makes holds a real object instead of a text thread. A production places a hold with a tier, the crew member can see it, challenge it if a firm offer comes in elsewhere, and the whole thing has dates and a status rather than living in someone's inbox. Crew post availability once. Productions search by role, gear, certifications, and home airport. I built it solo over the past year, along with a handful of other apps. Being on both sides of this, having been the person waiting on a hold and the person placing them, shaped almost every decision in it. Would genuinely like to hear from anyone who books or works crew. Especially about the parts I got wrong.
