Event Dispatch

Event Dispatch is scheduling software for companies that send staff out to events, where each job has its own venue and call time. It takes the place of phone rounds and spreadsheets: managers set up the event, and workers confirm their own shifts online. It suits businesses such as event production, entertainment, catering and decor firms.

What Event Dispatch offers

• Event setup — record the date, times, location and notes for each job.
• Shift building — pick a skill set, call location and call time for every shift.
• Worker notifications — staff get email and text alerts with a link to confirm shifts.
• Employee dashboard — each worker sees their own events, where to go and when.
• Pay calculation — flat or hourly rates per skill, with pay worked out automatically.
• Progress tracking — bars showing confirmation status by week, month or year, plus calendar feeds and shift reminders.
