STREAMLINE CREWING
We describe ourselves as the people platform for the events industry. That’s because we recognize that people are the heroes behind any successful event and we want to empower them with the right tools to not only get their job done, but to do it well every single time.
Rescue your event, your margins, and your blood pressure from the stress of disjointed crew management. When all of your crewing needs are automated and centralized in one place, you’re empowered to focus on what really matters – the people who make your event a success.
Kyle Malenfant, CEO, Crossfire Sound
"I could definitely tell that LASSO was made by somebody in the event industry, and that’s important."
FIND THE BEST CREW TO RUN YOUR EVENT
Every event experience is only as good as the people who make it happen. That’s why it’s crucial that you find the right talent for your event. You have your go-to crew of freelancers, but they can’t cover you everywhere.
That’s where Crew Marketplace comes in handy. In just a few clicks, tap into our curated, compliant and cost-effective database of nationwide event production talent. You’ll discover the event professionals you need to ensure your next event is a success.
Bruce Dougherty, Event Producer, Vidionix
"My favorite thing about LASSO is how it keeps a database of all of our crew members in one place—telling you what positions they hold and the last time they worked with us. This makes it easy to crew for future events and have everything you need in one place."
Send Schedule to Crew
The most stressful part of event planning is crew scheduling. You have to find the right people for the job, make sure they’re available, and then hope that everything works out on the day of the event. With LASSO, you can easily plan your entire event roster with just a few clicks.
Adam Rife, Director of Event Production, Markeys Rental & Staging
"We are able to send a request to our technicians and receive a yes or a no within minutes which has helped us save time on emailing. The back and forth communication to see if someone is available has gone away."
Trying to stay in touch with your crew can be difficult and frustrating. Especially when you’re managing a crew the size of a football team. Quickly send important messages, notifications, and announcements—no matter what time it is or which device they happen to be using.
Onboarding new hires can be a serious pain. You’ve got to track down paperwork, get it filled out, and make sure that you’re storing everything in a safe place. Then there’s the risk that something might fall through the cracks. We hate cracks, so we give your new staff the ability to fill out new hire docs quickly, easily, and digitally.
No more manual timesheets and cost surprises. Your crew can punch in/out or your crew supervisor can do so on their behalf, ensuring they are paid the hourly or daily rate you agreed on. Did we mention you can accommodate whatever complex pay rules you need to follow?
Knowing your total cost, including travel, before you hire your crew, is a powerful insight. Booking within the platform shows you costs, saves unused tickets, provides 24/7 concierge support for travelers, and gives you agency-negotiated rates on flights and hotels. Automatically share crew itineraries and manage expenses like per diems all within one central platform.
This isn’t just an easier and faster way to pay your live event staff. This tool is built specifically for the live events industry and all of our payroll quirks. We have seen it all when it comes to those complicated pay rules. Stop spending hours on payroll each week with LASSO’s event payroll.

"The process of using LASSO's Crew Marketplace is super easy."
LASSO was created when the founder of an experiential event production company, realized it was becoming impossible to scale and take on more clients while they were bogged down by all the manual tasks of crewing and workforce management. He set out to solve it for the industry, with the industry. He and his team spent a year speaking to his fellow industry professionals before hiring a team of developers to create the LASSO platform. The result is a product tailored to every need an event production company could possibly encounter in the course of managing their workforce – and we keep listening to your feedback to improve the platform further.
Absolutely! LASSO makes life easier for many industries similar to AV event production. Staffing & security companies and universities love LASSO for crewing massive workforces with just a few clicks. Broadcast & media, TV & film, creative & experiential companies all use LASSO to manage their talent. Venues, rentals, and installation companies also find that LASSO helps them optimize their workflow. Destination management and model/brand ambassador companies find that LASSO gives them the tools they need to staff efficiently and manage their talent effectively.
