ABOSS Launches Operating System to Streamline Live Music Industry Operations

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 17, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- ABOSS, the operating system for live music, has been in development for a decade to streamline the industry's reliance on email threads and spreadsheets. According to Arvid Silos, the founder of ABOSS, the current system of managing deals, contracts, logistics, and finances in the live music industry is inefficient and chaotic.

ABOSS offers a solution by providing a single, structured environment for managing shows, from back-office operations to on-stage logistics. The platform is divided into two main environments: the Agency Platform, which is used by booking agencies to run deals, contracts, financial tracking, planning, and pre-production, and Artist Pro, which is used by artists and their teams to access, review, and work on the same data.

ABOSS is designed to be a true single source of truth, allowing artists to own and control their data while agencies continue to run the operation. However, despite the platform's capabilities, adoption has been slow. According to Silos, only about 4% of the roughly $1 billion in deal value moving through ABOSS this year is covered by artist-owned records.

To extend the platform's reach, ABOSS has developed a mobile application that provides schedules, travel, and operational information, available offline with summaries. The application also exposes records through an open API, empowering specialized workflows and integrations to improve the live music stack.

SAPPS AI, an AI-native intelligence layer for the live music industry, has recognized the power of ABOSS as a system of data supply. SAPPS AI offers platform-agnostic micro-apps that can connect across systems music businesses already run, recognizing the need for substantial, owned, structured, secure, and current data.

ABOSS has been in operation for a decade, building the infrastructure to elevate the way the live music industry works. Silos emphasized that the platform turns admin into a commercial opportunity in the age of AI, helping to navigate the AI hypetrain and nurture trust in the promise of improved operations.

ABOSS is the operating system for live music, providing booking agencies, artists, managers, and crews with a collaborative environment to manage deals, contracts, finances, and logistics. The platform aims to streamline operations and improve efficiency in an industry that has traditionally relied on outdated tools.
