LASSO vs. IntelliEvent
Intelligent event management—all in one place.
Because your event technology should do, not just think. LASSO is your full event operating system—quote to invoice—built for those who want one platform, not ten.
Outsmart event chaos.
Event intelligence means nothing without execution. LASSO brings every part of your operation under one roof. Schedule crew, manage inventory, track costs, and send invoices without juggling apps. Intellievent might be smart software, but LASSO is the smarter system.
Keep it Fresh
Technology should move as fast as your shows. LASSO releases new features weekly, shaped by customer feedback (including teams who’ve switched from Intellievent). While others wait for version updates, our users see progress in real time. That’s not just intelligent—it’s instinctive.
Payroll That’s Actually Built In
Smart invoicing isn’t enough when your crew still needs to get paid. LASSO automates complex pay rules, multi-state compliance, and tax filings—all inside the same system where you schedule and approve hours. Intellievent stops short here, leaving you to connect outside tools or handle payroll manually.
Support That Speaks “Show Day”
Some Intellievent users report long waits and limited support. One reviewer even said they were stalled for days waiting on fixes. With LASSO, you’re never in the dark. Our U.S.-based team responds fast, knows the event business, and partners with you to solve problems—not just close tickets.
The Smartest Move You’ll Make
LASSO isn’t just another “intelligent” platform. It’s a truly connected event operating system—purpose-built by event pros, constantly evolving, and ready to help you run every show smarter, smoother, and more profitably.
The difference is clear.

“While this software {Intellievent} will work to track your rental inventory, in my opinion there are more competitively priced options with better functions, support, and features.”
Frequently Asked Questions
LASSO is built around events, not quotes. That means your gear, crew, payroll, and project timeline all live in one place — connected from quote to closeout. Most inventory-only tools stop at tracking equipment. LASSO handles the full operation: crew scheduling, time tracking, travel, US payroll and compliance, and integrated payments — no exports, no workarounds, no duct tape.
LASSO supports unlimited line items per gear order — including notes and labor lines — with no performance lag. You won't need to split a single event across multiple orders just to keep the system running. Gear is also reserved to the specific show, so you always know exactly what's allocated and what's available.
Yes — and it's built for the field, not just the office. Crew can confirm shifts, submit expenses, track time, and communicate through the app. Warehouse teams can scan inventory in and out. Everything syncs back to the platform in real time.
LASSO integrates via Zapier and REST APIs with QuickBooks Online, Salesforce, HubSpot, and most of the tools already in your tech stack. Setup is straightforward — no third-party consultants required.
You get a dedicated US-based support team, a customer success manager, and access to professional services — real people who know the event industry. Onboarding is included, and we're reachable when something comes up before show day, not weeks later.
Yes. LASSO is SOC 2 certified with role-based access controls and enterprise-grade data protections — a requirement for working with many larger venues, sports organizations, and corporate clients.
Our professional services team manages the implementation from start to finish — data migration, configuration, training, and go-live support. Most customers are up and running without disrupting active events. We'll work around your production calendar, not against it.
