# Web Dashboard Overview

The ALIVE Web Dashboard is your command center for managing your photo booth business — all from your browser. No iPad needed.

---

## What Is the Web Dashboard?

The web dashboard is the browser-based version of ALIVE, available at **photobooth.alive-pic.com/dashboard**. It gives you access to features that go way beyond what the iPad app offers — from event analytics to client management to template design.

Think of the iPad as the tool you use at events. The dashboard is the tool you use everywhere else.
