THE CHALLENGE

Scaling Without Complexity

As Grand Connection business grew, their event management process became inefficient and fragmented. Relying on multiple vendors for registration, lead capture, and event apps led to:

  • Manual Work Overload – Time-consuming data entry and troubleshooting slowed operations.
  • Inconsistent Branding – Multiple platforms made it hard to deliver a unified event experience.
  • Scattered Data: Disconnected systems made post-event insights difficult to track.
  • Limited Scalability – Without automation, growing their event portfolio required more resources.
  • Regional Challenges – Managing events across different locations became increasingly complex.

They needed a smarter, more efficient way to scale—without the operational headaches.
