Waveko is offline-first budget and cost software built for the venue floor. Estimates, actuals, change orders and variance — calculated where the work happens, even with no signal, and synced the moment a connection returns.
Three pro tools, free forever — no card. Full platform onboards one production at a time.
The most expensive calls on a show get made where there's no desk and no signal — the basement, the dock, the field. Generic tools quietly fail in exactly that place, and you find out back at the office, after the money's gone.
The signal drops and the sheet freezes mid load-in.
You spot the overage back at the desk — after it's spent.
Five copies of the budget, and none of them are current.
Change orders agreed on the floor, then never priced.
The wrap drags on for days to reconcile — and the next bid repeats every one of the same misses.
Waveko does the full job on the floor — capture, calculate and close — then syncs quietly when the signal comes back. No spinners, no lost entries, no nasty surprise at the desk.
Read and write the whole budget offline. Log actuals at the dock and change orders in the basement — it all lands instantly and queues to sync.
Every entry refreshes variance in under a second. The number flares red the moment a category slips — while you can still do something about it.
Close the show from data you already touched. Final actuals, variance by category and a client-ready summary — exported in minutes, not days.
Estimates, actuals, change orders, variance and wrap reports — built for production companies running corporate events, concerts, festivals and experiential. Each tool does one job properly, on a single model that learns your shows.
Build a defensible budget fast — line items, labour, gear and contingencies priced from your own history, not guesswork. Lock a scope and send a number you can stand behind.
Log real spend where it happens — at the dock, in the truck, on the deck. Receipts, hours and vendor totals hit the estimate the instant you enter them, online or off.
Capture every scope change with who asked, what it costs and when it landed. A clean, signed trail that protects the margin and settles the post-show conversation.
Categories flag red the second they slip — before the overage is locked in. See estimate vs. actual side by side, sorted by what's bleeding, refreshed on every entry.
The wrap writes itself from data you already touched — final variance, margin, vendor scorecards and a sharper template for the next bid. Export and send in minutes.
The foundation under everything. A local-first data layer means full read/write with zero connection, conflict-safe background sync, and your whole production in your pocket on site.
The same budget follows the whole job — from the bid you send to the wrap you hand back. Nothing re-keyed, nothing lost between the desk and the deck.
Drop the brief and build the estimate fast — labour, gear and contingency priced from real history. Send a proposal that walks in sharp and locks the scope.
At the venue, zero bars: actuals hit the estimate live, change orders log on the spot, and variance flares red the second a category slips.
The wrap report assembles itself — final margin, vendor scorecards and the carry-forward that makes your next estimate tighter.
Self-serve calculators that do real engineering math. Use them today without an account — they're the same instruments built into the full platform.
Pack the truck in 2D — fast, tight or low-empty-space. Load order, road cases and crew time computed so nothing gets left on the dock.
Tile count, resolution, power draw, weight and spares for any pitch — the spec a tech actually signs off on, sharable in a tap.
Amps, phases, distro and headroom from your gear list. Deterministic, standards-based numbers that keep the breaker happy.
From a black-tie ballroom to a greenfield with no coverage to an arena on the road — the same offline-first budget keeps the whole production honest.
Tight load-in, a hard room and a client watching every line. Actuals and change orders logged on the floor, variance held in view all night.
Eleven stages, a thousand moving costs and not a single bar of signal. Every category tracked offline and reconciled the moment the team hit the gate.
Eighteen cities, one travelling production and a budget that has to behave in every building. One model, carried city to city, wrap to wrap.
Straight talk on what the platform actually does — on every show, online or off.
Production companies running £15K to £5M shows — the people who carry the room and can't afford to find out about the overage back at a desk. Waveko is built for the floor lead, the production manager and the producer working the same job from three different angles.
Made by people who've sweated load-in, chased a runaway category and written the wrap at 2am. It works the way a show actually runs.
"We caught a £30K rigging overage in the basement, two hours before it would have shipped. That paid for the subscription in one show."
"Load-in with no bars used to mean flying blind. Now the budget's on my phone the whole time and syncs the second I walk out to the truck."
"The wrap that used to take my team two days now takes twenty minutes — and the carry-forward makes the next bid tighter every time."
Spin up the free tools in seconds, or start a budget that keeps working when the signal doesn't. No card, no lock-in — just the number, where you need it.
