How B:Music improved booking efficiency and shared insight across programmes using Artifax.

Overview

B:Music supports hundreds of independent music instructors, venues, and artists across Greater Birmingham. With a diverse network of events and studio sessions to manage, it needed a single system to centrally coordinate bookings and reporting. By implementing Artifax, B:Music streamlined its booking processes and gave managers a clearer view of activity across its network. 

The Challenge

B:Music’s network runs numerous studios, classes, concerts, and hire agreements. Their existing system relied on separate spreadsheets, emails, and calendar tools — making it difficult to coordinate across locations and instructors. The organisation needed a consolidated platform to handle bookings, track progress, and produce reliable reports.

The Solution

Artifax was configured to support B:Music’s specific needs — linking bookings, studio usage, instructor scheduling, and financial tracking all in one system. Agents and instructors use the shared calendar to manage availability, while Directors and operations staff gain oversight via reports and dashboards. The system standardised booking workflows and automated many repetitive tasks, such as confirmations and updates. 

The Results

After deployment, B:Music’s operational efficiency improved significantly. Booking conflicts decreased, data consistency rose, and staff spent less time on administrative tasks. Management now has visibility into activity trends across all programmes and locations. 

Client Testimonial
