Context
The client delivers complex touring productions across the UK and Europe, coordinating events of different sizes with distributed teams and a large volume of operational detail.
The operational problem
Tour planning relied on spreadsheets, email and disconnected tools. Crew, budgets, invoices, calendars and approvals were difficult to manage as one coherent operating picture.
What Meridian built
Meridian designed and engineered Tour Builder as a unified financial and operations platform. The system brings tour planning, crew management, budgets, payments, approvals and operational calendars into a single role-aware workspace.
System design
- Role-aware access and tour-specific visibility.
- Event, rehearsal, travel and show scheduling.
- Budget and P&L workflows with multi-currency support.
- Invoices, payment references and approval states.
- Crew management and controlled visibility of sensitive pay data.
- Documentation and architecture designed for maintainability and handover.
Outcome
The flagship case study is presented as an example of Meridian’s approach to operational software: map the real workflow, consolidate the system of record, automate repetitive coordination, and keep human decision points clear.
