Webb Production

PEOPLE COME FIRST

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Prior to LASSO, Webb used spreadsheets for tracking labor needs and manual processes like emails and phone calls to determine availability, build their roster, and communicate event and travel details. With so many moving pieces, it was easy to get lost in the details and waste time on manual processes that could have been spent on improving the event experience for their staff, freelancers, and clients.

THE CHALLENGE

According to Director of Event Technology Jason Spencer, "I used a spreadsheet for tracking labor needs. The entire process was very time-consuming and hard to manage." Inefficient processes made it near impossible for Jason and his team to focus on bigger picture challenges like how to grow their talent pool.

THE SOLUTION

For Webb Production, time is money. Retiring their spreadsheets and other manual processes not only gave them back time, but money as well. They could finally focus the resources needed to recruit and build out their talent pool. With stronger hiring practices and scheduling decisions, they got a leg up on their competitors.

THE RESULT

Not only did LASSO's software make Webb Productions more competitive, it also freed them up to cultivate a superior experience for their crew and staff. They are able to communicate ever-changing event and travel details. And they love that LASSO is growing with them. "They are a tool that is constantly evolving and adding new solutions that truly solve our problems," says Jason.

I never want to manage labor without LASSO again!

I could definitely tell that LASSO was made by somebody in the event industry, and that’s important.

- Kyle Malenfant, Founder & CEO, Crossfire Sound

I have used several systems in the years I've been booking labor, and this is the easiest. LASSO's Crew Marketplace seems to be set up in the most practical way possible

- Chris Bonner, Labor Control Manager, Freeman

The automation of having your entire workflow in one integrated platform is huge. I’m sure in the past, information fell through the cracks, but now we capture all of the right information to make sure that we not only pay our people in a timely manner, but also bill our clients faster and more accurately.

- Craig Farrell, President, Alliance Productions

LASSO streamlines the manual and mundane parts of booking crew, allowing our entire team to focus on more important tasks.

- Zach Grant, President

With LASSO, we cut out payroll processing in half and eliminated so many headaches! Feedback from crew has been great. It’s been an awesome change.

- Tiawna Blair, HR

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

- Craig Farrell, President

We got on board with LASSO because they are a young, hungry company trying to accomplish something, and what they are trying to do matches with the way we want to do things. We couldn’t be happier.

- Andrew Abrisz, Director of Operations

Both our students and freelancers really like LASSO. As soon as I start sending out crew shifts and rosters, I’ll start getting confirmations back almost immediately. The feedback we have gotten from everyone has been great.

- Clifton Matekovich, Operations Producer, University of Kentucky
