Waypoint Bands: Plug-&-Play Crowd Magic

Festivals, campus fairs, beach meetups, thrift markets — handheld in minutes, priced to slip into any budget.

The band kit ships ready with NFC entry, crew lighting, live stats, and sponsor moments. No bulky hardware, no hidden costs: a single $40 purchase powers every experience you run.

Hardware + software that pays for itself

A $40 kit covers up to 500 guests and flips any plan — from beach sunrise to campus fair — into a connected experience.

Crew colour sync

Beach meetups, campus societies, moonlit hikes — everyone glows on-budget.

Drop custom colour palettes per crew and reuse the bands season after season. One $40 purchase covers the full kit.

Tap-to-enter

No QR codes, no scanners. Tuck the reader into any doorway or tent flap.

NFC taps log attendance, welcome guests, and unlock sponsor perks. Hardware ships in a carry-on case and powers off USB.

Live spend intel

See merch sell-outs, bar queues, and crew dwell time from a cheap tablet.

Operators watch heatmaps and conversion trails in real time, with instant exports for partners or campus compliance.

On-band moments

Low-cost ways to surprise: sunrise breathing prompts, thrift bingo, silent disco cues.

Send timed challenges, sponsor drops, or gratitude pings without printing signage or hiring extra MCs.

Calm crew comms

Bands buzz softly for stage changes, shuttle departures, or safety checks.

Cut PA chaos and WhatsApp threads. Attendees feel handheld while staff stay lean.

Plug into any vibe

Sync lights at a rooftop jazz set, a study rave, or an outdoor market for less than a DJ’s tab.

Our bridge talks to DMX, Pioneer, and Ableton. Set it once; bands ride the beat all night.

Venue Benefits

Premium energy, thrift-store pricing

Most crews recoup the $40 kit with one sponsor shout-out. We keep the back-of-house effortless so you can run more nights.

Launch in under an hour

Self install, no AV crew, no venue rewiring. A single $40 purchase covers bands, reader puck, dashboards, and shipping.

Do more with tiny teams

Proof of impact on tap

Real-time density, spend, and dwell time reports to secure sponsors and repeat budgets.

Monetise gently

Bands unlock partner perks, scavenger hunts, or local deals without printing or payroll costs.
