THE CHALLENGE
Alliance Productions was handling all crewing by hand, making every event a messy mix of Excel spreadsheets and paper timesheets. It was difficult to understand who worked when and for how long, let alone accurately track overtime to remain compliant. Each new project brought crewing headaches and anxiety as Alliance tried to account for scheduling, tracking, traveling, and paying their mobile, on-demand crew through slow, error-prone processes.
THE SOLUTION
LASSO’s crew management software gave Alliance the ability to compile all the information relevant to managing crew - including scheduling, time and attendance, payroll, and travel - in one place. This made accounting for overtime, meal breaks, and other vital compliance details a breeze, while LASSO’s automation made it possible for Alliance to fire off bills to clients and paychecks to their crew without delay.
THE RESULT
Alliance Productions’ growth is no longer limited by its back office capabilities. Using LASSO has freed the Alliance team to focus its resources on the things that will enable the organization to better serve clients and crew, empowering them to do more with less. With a streamlined, organized workflow for all things crew management, Alliance can not only better manage today’s events, but also better plan for those of the future by more accurately tracking event dates, forecasting travel costs, and sticking to show budgets.
