The day has finally arrived, and we are so incredibly proud to introduce acta version 2.0!

This is the platform’s biggest update so far, involving a redesigned user interface which aims to achieve a sleeker and more effective tool, with features focused on improving the accessibility of the platform for organisers, talent and talent representatives.

We’ve also listened to the feedback of our users and have worked hard to ensure the features being introduced in v2.0 best serve everyone's needs. Read on to learn more about what has changed and how to best utilise the new features.

We've Had a Makeover

acta's new look isn’t just about appearing pretty (although doesn’t it?), the revamped marketplace and talent profiles have been designed to be navigated with more efficiency, with the marketplace filtering system now occupying a more prominent space at the top of the page.

Within the profiles themselves, the removal of talent banner images now creates space for more content, with the artist bio and photos taking centre stage. The look of the profiles also seamlessly translates from desktop to mobile, making them easy to read in either setting.

Finally, the enquiries and events dashboard, which provides an overview of all active events, now shows more information about the stage each booking is at, helping users keep track of multiple events or enquiries without having to go back and forth to check each individually.

acta Is Now Mobile!

This is something we have been working on since acta’s inception, as we always understood how important it is for people in the entertainment industry to be able to take their work on the move with them. With acta now available on mobile, handling talent bookings and enquiries just became a whole lot easier.

All the original platform features are now mobile friendly, so regardless of whether you’re sitting in an airport lounge or lying on the beach, you can perfectly execute the talent booking process from your phone!

Customisable Talent Invoicing

Standard template invoicing now comes with infinite possibilities, giving the talent control of not just the due date of invoices, but also how the payment is divided. For example, talent can now decide to issue five invoices of 20% rather than two of 50%, and can select exactly when each invoice is due.

Head to the talent wallet in your account settings to set up your personal invoicing preferences. Simply add your desired number of invoices and input what proportion of the total payment each invoice will cover and how many days before or after a date they will be due. Just make sure the percentages always add up to 100!

Please note that flexible invoicing must be set up prior to contracts being signed, otherwise talent will have to provide their own custom invoices (we’re working on it!).

New Contract Signing Privileges

The ability to add teammates to events is one of acta’s most prized features, allowing larger organiser and talent teams to collaborate within an enquiry. And whilst previously, teammates weren’t able to sign contracts, that’s now a thing of the past!

Extending on viewing permissions, with acta 2.0, teammates that are added from either side are able to be the signatory on talent contracts. This allows for the platform to be easily adopted by larger organisations, particularly those with legal teams who need to review agreements and senior management who often have final sign off.

We'd love to hear from you!

As with all tech innovations, we’re constantly working with our users to build out new features which contribute towards the overall performance of the platform. So, whether you’re a talent booker, talent or talent representative, if you have something you believe would help make acta an even more indispensable workplace tool, we would love to hear about it.

As always, thank you for your support. It means the world to us and we wouldn’t be here today without it.

So go on, jump onto to the platform, have a look around and let us know what you think!
