For over 80 years, the Tower Theatre has been a Bend landmark. The nonprofit Tower Theatre Foundation’s education program LessonPLAN has connected over 47,000 students to the performing arts. They engaged PIE to optimize expenses and increase the program’s community impact.
PIE found one of Tower’s largest cost buckets to be payment processing tied to online ticket sales, researched the integration path with the ticketing platform, and executed a seamless transition to a more cost-effective, generous processor: estimated annual savings of up to $10,000+, an estimated $3,000 annual donation, enhanced workflows, and zero downtime or lost transactions.
