What does EventsMakr do?
EventsMakr is an all-encompassing one stop shop for the organisation and processing of events for your jurisdiction. Historically license and events departments within local authorities use manual processes, several spreadsheets and lots of paper to issue permits. This takes up a large amount of staff time, creates confusion between staff members and event organisers, and can slow down workflow.
EventsMakr does a number of things to streamline every step of the application process:
- Integrated communications, notifications and messaging with those involved in permitting in your area
- Dissemination of information to the relevant sectors from just one form
- Calendar integration providing oversight.
- Automatic calculation of medical provisions required.
- Secure, built-in invoicing and payments
- Streamlined and efficient approval, with an audit trail of documentation and communication.
- Key reporting on event types, economic impact attendance and more
- Contact management system to help build strong relationships with event organisers
Who is EventsMakr for?
EventsMakr was created by Openbrolly with the help of two UK local authorities, with the aim of solving issues with the current processes that other local authorities currently have. If you issue event permits in a specific area then EventsMakr is for you.
