Ungerboeck partners with Mandurah Performing Arts Centre

Ungerboeck Software International has announced a new partnership with the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre.

Since opening in 1997, the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre has been an icon for the performing and visual arts in the Peel Region of Western Australia. This striking venue, known as MPAC to locals, won a number of architectural accolades and serves as a cultural hub for the area’s diverse community.

Guy Boyce, MPAC’s General Manager, has steered the centre through a period of dramatic growth. Increasing the venue’s schedule from 428 to 822 events annually, Boyce recognised that the venue had outgrown its existing ad hoc system used for managing events and started the search for a new solution that was robust enough to consolidate its growth.

Boyce, along with MPAC’s Operations Manager Pippa Davis, a key driver of the software search, reviewed a number of event management software platforms, before deciding on Ungerboeck Software. In making their decision the pair visited Perth Theatre Trust and were excited to see how that organisation was using Ungerboeck Software – being particularly impressed with how simply they could streamline their operations with a single solution, both front and back of house.

Boyce also recognised that they needed to make use of all the spaces in the centre more strategically, including the venue’s extensive foyer, and he was pleased with how configurable the software is to meet their particular workflows and requirements.

He explains “our selection of Ungerboeck Software to manage our ever-busier schedule of events was a pretty straight forward decision.

“The software demonstrations provided by the dedicated Ungerboeck for Venues team answered all the requirements put forward by Pippa, who drove this project for the centre.”

Davis added “we were also pleasantly surprised to discover the Ungerboeck-for-Venues team’s willingness to help get our planned events set up in the system for us.

“We really felt that Ungerboeck Software for Venues was best tailored for MPAC’s needs, taking into account the high level of activity in the centre."

Looking forward, Boyce and the MPAC team are excited about Ungerboeck Software’s ability to integrate seamlessly with ticketing solutions in addition to the option to add Ungerboeck’s Financial Modules as the centre’s needs evolve.

He expects that these integrations will help MPAC further increase its productivity which will reinforce the profitability of the centre.
