about us
Meet The Boss: Tessa Nicolai

Hi! I’m Tessa Nicolai (43), the straight-talking brains behind Bandboss Manager. My mission is to take the stress out of an artist’s life through logistics, strategy, and design.
Based in Zwolle, I co-founded this venture with my fiancé, Ronnie van Doorn. I started by making bands stand out online with www.bandbosswebdesign.nl, and today I still use those skills to create professional websites for my clients.
Managing a busy home with Ronnie, our three kids (8, 8, and 9), and our cats Karen, Sjonnie, and Anita, has made me an expert at organizing chaos and hitting deadlines.
My happy place? Front-row at a festival or on my Royal Enfield. I’ll handle the business side, so you can focus on creating and performing!


Meet The Architect: Ronnie van Doorn

Hi, I’m Ronnie van Doorn (42), the developer behind the Bandboss Manager app. Together with my fiancé Tessa, I focus on a simple mission: making software less boring and more human.
With a background in UX, development and management, I bridge the gap between user needs and business goals. This ensures Bandboss Manager isn’t just functional, it’s intuitive and fast.
Life at home in Zwolle with our three kids (8, 8, and 9) and three “supervising” cats is the perfect training ground for building apps: managing chaos, setting clear boundaries, and making sure things just work.
When I’m offline, you’ll find me at concerts/festivals, riding my Indian power cruiser, or gaming (mostly on the PS5).
faq
Quick answers to your most common questions.
Features & Functionality
How does the financial management feature work?
You can manually log all band income and expenses in a clear ledger. Our unique “Advanced Costs” helps you fairly divide costs like gas and rent, and you can generate financial reports for your bookkeeping.
Can I manage different roles and permissions for my band members?
Yes, our Member & Role Management feature allows you to assign specific roles to people. You cannot change the permissions per role. So choose the correct role wisely for the correct person.
Is it possible to create a professional technical/hospitality rider and stage plot?
How does the merchandise inventory tracking work?
You can track stock levels for all your items, including different sizes (S, M, L, etc.). The system provides low-stock warnings and allows you to process sales on-site if you use our Point of Sale (POS) mode. Every morning a sync from Bandcamp or Big Cartel will be run if you have set it up, stock change from our app, will be pushed directly to the set up third party vendor.
Can the app help me plan my social media posts?
The Social Media Planner is a tool to help you organize your band’s marketing content. You can create a content calendar, plan your posts for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, and track the status of each post (e.g., Draft, Scheduled, Planned). Please note: the app is for planning and overview purposes only; it does not post content directly to your social media accounts.
Can multiple band members access and update the schedule?
How does the setlist builder work?
Our setlist builder allows you to create and organize your setlists with ease. You can add songs, arrange the order, include breaks, and the app will automatically calculate the total duration of your set. You can also add tuning notes or transition cues for each song and export in big font-size for on stage or export more details for the GEMA (Germany).
Can I store important gig details in the app?
Yes. For every gig-event, you can store essential information like the venue location, entrance fees, ticket links, and contracts. This keeps all critical gig info in one central, accessible place for the whole band.
What is the "WordPress Sync" feature?
If your band has a website built on WordPress, this feature allows you to automatically push gig dates from your Bandboss Manager calendar to your website’s event manager. This saves you from having to enter event details in two different places. For a small price you can buy the Event manager here, but there is also a free version available
Can I customize the app with my band's branding?
Yes, with every plan, you can upload your band’s logo and set custom colors to personalize the look and feel of the app, making it truly your own. There are also themes available like Black-Metal, Disco or K-Pop.
Does the app integrate with cloud storage services?
The app provides quick links to your external cloud storage folders (like Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox etc,.). This allows you to organize shortcuts to important files like press photos, logos, or audio files directly within the app for easy access.
How do payments for merchandise work? (e.g., Tikkie)
Our Point of Sale (POS) system includes payment integration. You can generate QR codes for direct payments per item, for example via Tikkie This makes selling merch at shows fast and efficient without needing a separate payment terminal. For now only for dutch bands who have a BV (a company).
Is there a dark mode available?
Yes, the app has built-in support for both Light and Dark themes. You can choose whichever mode you prefer, which is especially useful for low-light environments like backstage or in a tour van at night. There are also a few special themes available like the Black metal Theme, Disco and the K-Pop Theme.
Pricing & Plans
Do I need a credit card or other payment information available to start the 30-day Premium trial?
No. You can create your account and start using all Headliner features immediately without entering any payment details. We only ask for payment information if you decide to continue after the 30-day trial ends. If you don’t choose you go back to the Opener features.
What happens after my 30-day trial ends?
Your account automatically transitions to the Free (Opener) plan. You retain access to all core scheduling and financial tracking features. All your data stays secure. You will lose access to the Premium-only features (like QR sales and advanced reporting).
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan later?
Yes, absolutely! You can upgrade from Free (Opener) to Support or Headliner, or downgrade from Headliner to Support or to Opener, directly from your account settings at any time. Any changes will be prorated or take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.
Is our band's financial data secure?
What if I need a feature that isn't currently available?
