## What matters for your events

What should a festival look for in vendor and trader management software?

Your traders shape what fans eat, drink and buy, and many pay a pitch fee or a share of their takings. You need applications you can sort, each trader placed on your site map, their agreement signed, and their fees and share collected, beside the tickets that bring the crowd. We ranked each platform on how many of these jobs its own pages show it doing:

1. Trader and vendor applications.
2. A site map to place traders.
3. Ticket sales in the same system.
4. Contracts signed online.
5. Cashless payments at the stalls.
6. A crew and volunteer rota.

## The platforms, ranked

Ticket Fairy comes first because you can run your whole event on it; every other place is ranked on the things you need.
