Artist Access, a time-tracking tool for creative teams

CETA recently introduced Artist Access, a purpose-built time-tracking tool designed specifically for the creative industries. Aware that managing talent and tracking time on creative projects can be a challenge, especially in industries where bespoke contracts and dynamic workflows are the norm, the company developed Artist Access, built for creative teams.

“Artist Access directly responds to one of the main challenges our customers face: producing accurate, real-time reporting on variable rates and overtime costs,” says Samuel Edney, Managing Director of CETA Software. “Creative projects are inherently dynamic, and having a platform that adapts to changes is crucial for maintaining budget control and ensuring transparency.”

Artist Access is now available at no additional cost to all CETA Software clients, with support for an unlimited number of artists.
