Many companies still rely on outdated methods like spreadsheets, endless phone calls, and manual scheduling. While these may seem manageable, the hidden costs of inefficiency quickly add up—leading to lost revenue, frustrated crews, and operational chaos.
If your event crew scheduling feels like a constant scramble, it’s time to take a closer look at where inefficiencies are draining your resources. Let’s break down the true cost of inefficient crew management and how LASSO can help you optimize your workforce, save time, and boost profitability.
Where You’re Losing Money (Without Even Realizing It)
1. Last-Minute Scheduling Chaos
Without a streamlined system, last-minute schedule changes turn into a logistical nightmare. Filling shifts on short notice often means paying rush rates, bringing in less experienced crew members, and risking lower event quality. The result? Higher labor costs, increased stress, and potential damage to your reputation.
2. Payroll and Compliance Headaches
Manually tracking time and processing payroll is an open invitation for errors. Overpayments, underpayments, and compliance missteps—especially with multi-state tax filings—can lead to hefty penalties and a massive administrative burden. When payroll isn’t seamless, both your budget and your crew suffer.
3. Missed Revenue Opportunities
Every minute spent on scheduling and admin is time not spent securing new business. If you can’t quickly confirm crew availability, you risk losing out on event opportunities simply because staffing remains uncertain. Inefficiency doesn’t just cost you money—it costs you growth.
4. Crew Dissatisfaction and High Turnover
A disorganized system frustrates your crew with unclear call times, miscommunications, and delayed payments. High turnover means more time and money spent on recruiting, onboarding, and training—when you should be focusing on running smooth, successful events.
