Stability for the long term

In an era of acquisitions and shifting priorities, the foundation of your technology matters.

Patron Manager - currently owned by LEAP technologies - relies on layers of customization to work effectively with Salesforce, a CRM meant for B2B relationships. When Salesforce updates its code, that integration is at risk.

Patron Manager was recently acquired again and the future is uncertain. 

Spektrix is different.

As a privately owned CRM and ticketing system, purpose-built for live experiences, Spektrix provides a secure and steady alternative.

We're laser focused on long-term sector success, and we offer a level of stability and technical integrity that middleware solutions simply cannot match. We own every line of code and manage our own CRM and ticketing infrastructure, ensuring we're built right from the ground up.

We aren't just a vendor; we're a permanent, independent partner for your organization.

With Patron Manager, you're reliant on complex integrations to support your business-critical work. With Spektrix, you benefit from a single, unified platform combining CRM, ticketing, marketing, and fundraising tools, all designed around your needs.

  • Integrated value: Spektrix is typically a more cost-effective choice than Patron Manager. You won't pay a penny until you go live, and everything's included in a single service charge - from technology to support, onboarding, training, hardware, and more.

  • Our success is your success: Spektrix is privately owned and founder-led, and for 20 years we've stayed true to our mission: to support a thriving live experience sector. That shows through in our software and service, and it shows in our business model: we're focused on lasting value on top of short-term outcomes, and we'll never sell or trade your contracts.

  • Sector expertise: You’ll work with people who care deeply about the success of theaters, performing arts venues, museums, sports teams, and visitor attractions. We understand how you work, and we bring it to everything we do - ensuring you can rely on us not just for what we deliver today, but for how we show up long term.

How Spektrix helped grow revenue and audience engagement at The Cultch

One of The Cultch’s main aims is to create the most amount of flexibility from a customer's point of view. Allowing people to have these options has created a much better system - mostly for the box office, but also so that people can get that kind of flexibility that they’re looking for.

The Spektrix solution

Real-time audience insights in a single, powerful database

“There’s an endless supply of things to learn about patron behavior, but we now feel that we have that data at our fingertips. Before, there was a lot of downloading reports into Excel and trying to work on them and send out mailings from there. So we feel like we have a streamlined system.”

“Now our donors can give easily, purchase their subscriptions online, buy tickets, and identify accessible shows without any confusion. It allows our patrons to more easily engage with us and attend performances, while also enabling us to track their participation through a variety of built-in reports and customizable tracking options.”
