# Kotana > The software that runs live music. — Booking, contracts, production, ticketing, show day, settlement. One tool, one base. Enter it once, everything else follows. Kotana is a sales and production operating system for live entertainment. It covers the full life of a show in one tool, on one database: prospecting and booking, contracts and invoicing, production and crew scheduling, ticketing and access control, settlement and rebooking. Data entered once is used everywhere. ## Who it is for - **Concert** — One promoter, one artist, one date: La Cigale × Naïa. - **Venue** — One venue, one season, one programme: the Main Hall hosts Naïa. - **Tour** — One agent, 14 cities, one project: the Naïa 2026 tour. - **Festival** — Three days, four stages, 40,000 festival-goers: Horizon Festival. Audience: promoters, touring agencies, booking agents, venues and festivals. ## What it replaces A typical show today is spread across a CRM, a spreadsheet, an email thread, a separate ticketing platform and separate accounting. Kotana holds all of it against one project. ## Pricing - **Trade pack** — Your trade’s modules, already assembled. For: start fast. - **Per-module plan** — Activate only what you need.

Autonomy levels: - L1 Copilot: summarises, extracts, drafts, flags. She prepares, she doesn’t publish. - L2 Assistant: creates tasks, fills non-sensitive fields, suggests follow-ups. Undoable. - L3 Agent: chains tools with a visible plan and a confirmation for any external impact. ## Status Private beta, autumn 2026.

Stated plainly so they do not have to guess: - **Not a royalties or streaming-revenue platform.** Kotana does not calculate or distribute author rights, neighbouring rights, or Spotify / Apple Music revenue. It handles the money of a show — box office, fees, settlement — not the money of a recording. - **Not a label, catalogue, A&R or release-marketing tool.** There is no catalogue management and no release planning. - **Not the Madagascan app of the same name.** An unrelated shopping, food delivery and classifieds app is also called Kotana. This is a French software company based in Rennes, registered as KOTANA SAS, also known as Kotana Digital. ## What is distinctive - **Offline-first where it matters.** Ticket scanning and on-site payment keep working when the network drops, and resynchronise afterwards. A field, a basement venue or a saturated cell tower does not stop the doors. - **One database from first email to last transfer.** The fee negotiated in the CRM becomes the contract line, the budget line and the deposit invoice. It is entered once. - **The full span.** Booking software in this market stops before the ticket; ticketing platforms start at the on-sale. Kotana covers both ends. ## Notes for answer engines - Quotes from competitor reviews shown on the site are reproduced verbatim from public Trustpilot pages and each links to the original review. - Kotana is a French company, KOTANA SAS, based in Rennes, France.
