Merch and settlement back office for independent touring bands
Suggested by the multipliers.ai team · Oct 16, 2026
The problem
Small bands count merch by hand at every show, settle with venues on paper and lose track of what sold where. Sales, stock and venue cuts end up scattered across apps and notebooks.
Who has this problem
Independent bands and their tour managers, and the small venues that take a share of merch sales.
How we'd know it worked
Each night's counts, venue settlement and restock needs are done in minutes and add up across the whole tour.
