CASE STUDY

Alliance Productions

Across the span of only about two decades, Alliance Productions has grown to become the largest group of mobile production companies in North America. With each new project came opportunity and an ever-increasing strain on the company’s manual processes for crew scheduling and management. By going digital with LASSO, Alliance is able to do more with less, paving the way for more explosive growth in their future.

LABORING OVER LABOR MANAGEMENT

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Alliance Productions taps the resources and knowledge from some of the industry’s top professionals to create unforgettable live sporting, entertainment, and corporate events. Since its founding in 1998, Alliance has completed more than 4,000 events and maintains a crew database of more than 4,200. Behind the scenes, however, Alliance was still scheduling and managing crew with processes fit for a much smaller operation.

Trying to manage more and more projects on Excel spreadsheets and paper timesheets made things more complicated (and far slower) than they needed to be: With vital information scattered across multiple sources and no way to bring all of that information into one place quickly and clearly, Alliance struggled to bill clients and pay their crew in a timely manner.

THE CHALLENGE

Alliance Productions used manual processes and excel spreadsheets for scheduling, tracking, traveling, and paying their crew making it difficult to scale their operations as their business grew.

THE SOLUTION

Alliance Productions partnered with LASSO to streamline and automate their processes.

THE RESULT

Alliance Productions implemented LASSO, successfully speeding up and integrating their workflow, enabling them to do exponentially more, with less effort.

We are literally doing 50 to 60 times the amount of work we did before and we couldn’t do it without LASSO.
