What our customers do.

store support with Stagehands.net

You may ask what type of customers we at Stagehands.net have. We have various types of customers with a broad bandwith of events and jobs. Today we want to introduce one type of these jobs.

Worldwide shop support for clothing brands.

Of course you know major labels that have stores in every corner of the world, sports brands, High class clothing companies and so on. When entering these stores, you normally see big LED Walls or other types of video installation. You also will hear music and see light installations that might be more as the standard shop light. As everywhere in normal life, thinks get broken, so do LED walls and other equipment. Partially things are not working as they should or new items need to be shown in the stores. Many repairs can be done remotely these days, some of our customers can update content from afar, but not everything can be done in this way.  Technicians have to travel to these stores. Lets imagine a broken LED segment in Antalya Turkey and a not working moving light in downtown Paris.

Things need to be solved the same day or latest the day after, shops lose money if things do not look neat. To solve these kind of problems local technicians  are needed. These  technicians get a call and drive to the shops and solve the problem. But there comes a major problem: Things dont break every day, updates dont need to be done every week, you can not hire one technician for a month standby, as it is to expensive.  There Stagehands.net has found the right solution, we have local technicians in the most cities. We also have several customers that need this kind of support. We bundle the work. So for our technicians, every day, there is “something broken” to repair or to update, may it be Paris, Istanbul, Berlin or Tokyo.

If you are interested in our world wide support, we are glad to help.

Just drop us a quick line in the contact section of this website, we will write you back asap.

Latest Tokyo Event

Stagehands.jp at the Midtown Hibiya.

While recently expanding our efforts in Japan, we were part of an event at the Midtown Hibiya. The luxury complex in the Center of Tokyo opened it doors just recently on March 29th. Included in the scyscraper is a shopping center as well as an conference complex.

We were happy to be some of the first people to work at this new location. Unfortunately the event itself is again a little secret.  Nevertheless we share with you some pictures of the complex and the view over the imperial garden.

See you in Tokyo!

Project Management Japan

Stagehands Office in Tokyo with new Project Management Branch

In preparation to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Stagehands.net expands its business to project management for non local customers.

Organization of event equipment, communication with local suppliers for customers coming from abroad to Japan will be the main part of this offer. The new business is managed by former PRG project manager Bernd Erbs.

“Over the years, we have received repeatedly requests from customers who need equipment for their events. Our customers told us about communication problems in Japan, which are based not only on a linguistic, but also on a cultural level. Bernd Erbs, who has been living in Tokyo for 20 years, speaks perfect Japanese, German and English and knows the local Japanese event industry. Bernd will accompany and advise our customers on their projects in Japan. We look forward to the new responsibilities in Japan and will soon launch an equal branch  in our Paris office, “says Stagehands.net Managing Director Patrick Harnisch.

Inquiries for Japan are coordinated via the Berlin headquarters of Stagehands.net

Let’s Go Tokyo Motor Show!

The Stagehands.net crew are set to staff the 45th Tokyo Motor Show later this year, with team of local technicians and international coordinators.
Hosted in one of Japans largest and most impressive venues, Tokyo Big Sight, the Motor Show is one of the largest of its kind and has been a hugely popular event since its first appearance in 1954. This year’s theme of “Beyond the Motor” is intended to give the show a broader spectrum of innovations and technologies. With this will come a new set of design challenges for event’s organisers (JAMA-Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association) and the production team building the numerous display platforms and stages.

The exhibition has a tradition of debuting concept cars as oppose to passenger vehicles, and despite moving to involve more commercial vehicles in recent years, the one of a kind cars the show does still include deserve one of a kind unveilings! With a whole host of rotating platforms, curtain drops and lightshows to showcase the motors, the event staff will have their work cut out for them.

Stagehands.net Tokyo office manager, Bernd Erbs, will lead the team throughout the event and is currently taking crew orders for the show. Bernd is fluent Japanese, German & English, this will prove useful in to help planning and crew coordination on site, as well as working closely with international clients to fulfil any special requirements.
