Vehicles and equipment for bands and musicians
Keep the inventory of PA systems, lights, instruments, vans and cars in one place. Assign vehicles and equipment to events, create preset sets for recurring configurations and always know what to bring, who drives and what's where.

Common friction
What this solves
02
Hard to remember who brings what, which van is available and whether the PA is already booked
03
Equipment assigned to two events on the same day without anyone noticing
04
Outdated inventory: broken, missing or out-of-service items not flagged
05
Having to reorganise from scratch which items to bring for a given configuration every time
Definition
What is vehicle and equipment management for bands?
Vehicle and equipment management for bands centralises inventory, status, preset sets and assignments to dates. In BandCalendar event logistics shows availability and what to bring, reducing double-booking and last-minute WhatsApp lists.
Workflow
How it works in BandCalendar
1
Build the inventory
Add vehicles with plate, type and notes; add equipment with category, condition and photo.
2
Create preset sets
Group recurring items into reusable sets: 'Wedding setup', 'Club concert', 'Acoustic quartet'.
3
Assign to the event
From the event, choose vehicles and equipment (or a full set); the system shows availability for that date.
4
The team knows what to bring
Collaborators can see from the event what's assigned, who drives which vehicle and which items to prepare.
5
Update status
Mark items as under maintenance, out of service or returned: the inventory stays accurate.

FAQ
Questions before starting
Can I tell whether a van is already booked?
Yes. When you assign a vehicle to an event, BandCalendar shows availability based on other assignments already present for that date.
Do preset sets work for recurring configurations?
Yes. You can create a 'Full wedding setup' or 'Light quartet' set with your usual items and assign it to an event in one click.
Can I mark equipment as under maintenance?
Yes. Each item has an editable status: available, under maintenance or out of service. The status is visible when you assign the item to an event.
Can I upload photos of the equipment?
Yes. You can upload images for each item, useful for quickly identifying equipment or documenting its condition.
Can collaborators see what's assigned to their event?
Yes. Anyone with access to the event can see the list of assigned vehicles and equipment in the logistics section.
Can I manage custom categories?
Yes. Equipment categories are configurable: PA, lights, instruments, backline, transport or any other label useful to your band.
