Elevate Your Backstage Operations

Check In Pointe streamlines backstage management with powerful tools for scheduling, communication, and real-time tracking, ensuring your production runs flawlessly.

We had 3 recitals with over 350 students and this was the most efficient system imaginable for our show day. Parents thanked us many times for prioritizing children safety. The staff and volunteers loved the organization and features of the app, with the multiple dressing rooms, 3 shows a day, the ability to upload the show order and know which dancers are in which song, we will never do a show without it again!

We did 5 shows in one day, and parents commented on how organized and professional the check-in and check-out process was for every show. Using Check In QR codes through our Jackrabbit database caused our app downloads to surge. We could not be happier with the experience.
