There is now a plethora of venue and event management software, tools, platforms and technologies now available. If you search ‘venue management software’ in Google there are over 50 million results! (and you’ll see us on the first page!)
And this is no surprise as venue owners and operators realise that to function efficiently and effectively, technology is of critical importance. The explosion of cloud based venue and event management platforms has also been facilitated by the improvements in technology over the last couple of decades.
The main unifying principle of all such systems is the ability to streamline the operation, make everyday processes quicker and easier and automate a lot of activities that would ordinarily have to be done manually by teams of people.
This ultimately means that the day to day operation of venues and events is less labour intensive and processes can take place without any human intervention. This in turns saves time and money, whilst also in many cases improving the visitor experience.
Here are some of the main reasons why venue management software is a must-have for any venue:
Automate Operations
Venue and event management software automates various operational processes such as event planning & scheduling, compliance, inventory management and reporting. This reduces manual workloads and minimises errors.
Increases Efficiency
By automating operations and improving communication, venue management software can increase efficiency and productivity. Staff can focus on providing exceptional service to guests instead of performing repetitive administrative tasks.
Improves Communication
The software can help staff at all levels communicate effectively by providing comprehensive briefings, allow access to data and intelligence and ensure real-time updates and notifications. It ensures that everyone is on the same page and reduces the chances of miscommunication.
Provides Insights and Analytics
By providing real time and historical data, reports and insights into all aspects of the operation or an event, informed decisions can quickly be made and learnings can be garnered to optimise for the future.
Save Time and Money
Venue management software can save venues both time and money. It reduces the need for manual labour and minimises errors, resulting in cost savings.
One of the issues when thinking about onboarding new technology is where to even start and who to trust. In addition many venues have bolted on new systems to their existing platforms, meaning they are working with multiple vendors for different facets of their operation creating a complex technology stack.
This makes things complicated and difficult to manage. Some venues also end up opting for a much more complex platform that they need and are therefore paying for features that they don’t require or ever use.
VenuePro is different. It’s a cloud based venue and event management technology platform that provides a ‘one stop shop’ for everything a venue needs to operate effectively and efficiently. With 21 distinct modules client’s can pick and choose to create a solution tailored to their specific needs, so they only pay for the features and functionalities they actually need.
