Hi Guys,
I am only a "StageGuy", who is becoming more responsible for more of the operations of the events, as well as other things as the authority lines blur. To maintain that responsibility to both to the events, and building which holds those events, and the responsibility to management, I am finding it increasingly difficult on 2 fronts.
1st
I am also finding myself in a position to inform management, of the need for Building repairs, Equipment concerns because age, condition, saftey or any other reasons, which a this point, is done verbally. I am done a maintenance log, but is tricky to keep updated, especially when no one including management will look at. Secondly it doesn`t cover the condition of items within the building nor does it cover the aprox. time frame of when those items need to be replaced.
I am looking for some sort of Word template, or free software I can get, that issue to put together an Inventory type/ assessment, of Equipment, and Building repairs, that need to bee addressed, and put together in a way,, that I can not only give to management, but also our governing board, and is professional enough, for them to want to take action on, rather than just verbally talking about it, getting us no where. I need a way to present the information to them in a way they would take it seriously and find organized solutions, rather than passing it over, and letting these problems get worse.
I started a word document already, that has pictures of the inventory item or areas that need to be repaired, as well as The condition, type, Location, Quantity, Status, How long the item is expected to last before it needs to be replaced ect, as well as other notes. ect..
My problems is that before spending too much time into this I was wondering if there was any template or software out there that I could use to give this some more credibility to this "report", rather than looking like some one just put togeather. My Hope is by putting this togeather and presenting this in a professional manor there is less chance for them to overlook this, and more change we may finally address some of these things, or at least move in that direction.
Also 2ndly, again, with limited resources in sometime dealing with our concerts, is there any free or cheap "CRM" software that you could recommend for keeping track of Clients, (Contact information), Company info, ect.
Allot of the CRM software is online based and rather expensive especially with a monthly Fee. was wondering if there was any maybe In house software (non online), or something that has a 1 time purchase that doesn`t involve a monthly fee that we could use to get us started.
We previously tried an expensive CRM software which blew up in our face, so something that doesn`t involved a monthly fee or really in expensive might be at least a place to start.
Sorry for the long post,
Thanks again,
