It's been amazing that we've actually found a system that works for us, because I've been through plenty, I've even coded my own RPM for WordPress, and it just didn't do what I needed it to do...
Jammed was founded in 2018 by software engineer and musician Andy Callaghan after he noticed a clear gap in the market based on his own experience booking studio space for his band Albany/Buffalo.
After playing and recording with the band for five years, Andy realised that rehearsal and recording studios spend a lot of their time manually managing room bookings and cancellations through email and over the phone.
The studio owners who Andy spoke to said they were frustrated by the amount of time they spent chasing people, confirming bookings and taking payments, so he built a software solution that took this work off their plate.
After close co-creation with friendly independent studios, Jammed was launched in 2019. Since then, the platform has grown to help studios and rehearsal rooms across the UK, Australia, US and New Zealand.

We looked through a few plugins and options over the years, but once we found your one, it seemed like the best for our customers
For new bookings it's probably 80% online now, and with regular bookings like bands coming every week, we set them up once and I know they'll be in but if they're new then just send them online
Before we started using Jammed, I would be taking phone calls constantly. My phone would be literally attached to me every day. Now we take bookings online and we haven't looked back, it's helped us a lot. After the social distancing restrictions lifted, we had our busiest weekend we've ever had, and I only took 2 phone calls the entire weekend - amazing!
