Organizing Events – A better solution than spreadsheets
Who is this for?
For resorts, event managers, and conference/expo organizers, who need to sell complex custom packages with speed & efficiency and are always organizing events, this template is designed for you!
Problem
Oftentimes, and when faced with a daunting task of organizing events, and selling highly customized packages, individuals in charge of these operations have to rely on either:
1) old/clunky ERP/POS systems
In the first case, customization is hard and time-consuming. You will need to adapt to the ERP’s pre-existing process. You may also end up being stuck in a number of manual steps: like back and forth emails with prospects – trying to customize the order and get all of the selections into one package.
2) a number of different spreadsheets integrated with off-the shelf e-commerce solutions.
If you go with the second option, you would need to use some off-the shelf solution to generate orders – and then integrate the data with your spreadsheet technology provider of choice: whether it is Google sheets or Airtable. But here, we run into another issue: You have to customize a number of integrations and this can be rather time-consuming. In addition, the spreadsheet tool will not be a relational database like Jestor – meaning that there will be no true connection between different records. For example, if you track products and services separately (as you should), they will not be connected to each other in the way that a relational database like Jestor makes it possible.
Organizing Events solution
And this is where Jestor comes in: you can quickly and efficiently customize your complex events, and generate custom orders – which are then quickly and smoothly integrated into Jestor’s backoffice, no-code, relational database: No need for endless import and exports of data. No need for clunky old solutions, and certainly no need for endless back and forth communication to determine the precise specifications of custom orders.
Use Jestor’s order generator template to increase speed & efficiency of your operations, and book more events – ultimately, generating more revenue.
