Parklife Festival using Hotbox Studios’ PAAM App for Event Volunteer Recruitment and Management

Hotbox Studios’ Web App PAAM is now being used by Manchester’s Parklife Festival! Parklife is the largest metropolitan music festival in the UK featuring music across genres including hip hop, grime, pop, rock, club, house and dance. Parklife has developed a reputation for its diverse and eclectic line-up, attracting some of the world's biggest names and hottest emerging talent to its multiple stages. Since its foundation in 2010 Parklife has welcomed performances from music greats such as Mark Ronson, Wu Tang Clan, Disclosure, George Ezra, The Chemical Brothers, Snoop Dogg, The xx, Liam Gallagher, N.E.R.D, The 1975, Foals and many more.

Every year Parklife recruits hundreds of volunteers to help run the festival. Parklife event volunteers work across the festival site alongside the festival’s paid team in a variety of roles including wristbanding, artist liaison, and with the promotional and merchandising teams.

Hotbox Studios' PAAM App is now helping the Parklife Festival team by providing:

• A cloud-based volunteer recruitment and management app.
• Pre-event shift selection and allocation.
• Realex Merchant Provider integration.
• Easy uploading of event information.
• Fast one-click database searches.
• Integrated volunteer deposit handling.
• Customisable email messaging and templates.
• Grouping of volunteer roles.
• Custom system branding.
• Integrated SMS messaging.
• Simplified event volunteer processing.
• Volunteer performance tracking.
• Event planning including system exports.

The Parklife Festival PAAM App includes a wealth of functionality by design, and as a cloud-based system is also further customisable moving forward. As Parklife Festival’s requirements change, the PAAM web app can evolve, with new custom features being developed and added on-demand to fit the developing needs of Parklife Festival and their team using PAAM App.
