What you’re using now
You already have a system. It’s just six systems.
This isn’t a comparison against another company. It’s a look at the patchwork most festivals already run on — and what each piece becomes when it’s all in one place.
A registration tool
What it costs you today
Families create yet another account. Data lands in a format your judging tool can’t read, so someone retypes it before the festival starts.
What it becomes on Ovaro
Registration, classes, and payment live in the same place as everything else. Nothing needs retyping.
A judging tool
What it costs you today
A second login for adjudicators, a second export, and a scramble to reconcile scores with the registration list the night before.
What it becomes on Ovaro
Adjudicators score against the same class list families registered into — on a tablet, offline-safe, no export required.
A spreadsheet holding it all together
What it costs you today
One person — often you — knows how it works. If they’re sick festival week, everyone is stuck.
What it becomes on Ovaro
The schedule, entries, and results live in one system that any volunteer can open and understand.
An email chain
What it costs you today
Announcements, schedule changes, and reminders go out from three different inboxes, and half of families never see them.
What it becomes on Ovaro
Communications go out from one place, to the people who actually need them, tied to their registration.
Paper certificates
What it costs you today
Printing, sorting by name, and handing them out at the end of a long day — and reprinting when one gets lost.
What it becomes on Ovaro
Digital certificates release automatically and stay in the performer’s record for good, no reprint needed.
A bank deposit reconciled by hand
What it costs you today
Matching e-transfers and cheques to registrations line by line, weeks after the festival is over.
What it becomes on Ovaro
Payments are collected and tracked against each registration automatically, so reconciliation is a report, not a project.
