Managing trade shows can be a little like juggling Jello. It’s all very fluid, there’s a lot to keep your eye on, and there’s a tendency for things to get messy. To keep it all organized, some managers rely on color-coded file folder
s; others use sticky notes and antacids. However, there is a better way.
Exhibit Inventory And Show Schedules
Online event and exhibit management creates a clean, organized clearinghouse of information about all your trade show exhibits in Chicago or elsewhere. File folders and sticky notes are replaced with an online system that tracks every detail of a company’s trade show exhibit inventory. Tradetec Skyline offers one of the most robust online management systems available. For clients who use Tradetec to store and ship their Chicago trade show displays and supporting materials, it’s an easy way to see where all of their displays, graphics, literature and promotional materials are at any given time.
The system lets users see when items will ship and where they are scheduled to go. When a user schedules a new event, a few clicks allows the client to select what items need to be shipped and where. Some of our clients have even saved money on shipping because better coordination allows them to ship all items together. The site can also be used to order new items as needed.
Communication, Calculators And Reports Galore
Inventory management is not the only benefit of Tradetec Skyline’s online event management system. It offers helpful communication tools, such as notifying staff about upcoming trade shows and staffing schedules. Users can create and share calendars of events and even add potential events.
The site can also be used to create lead files and reports that are easily shared. There are budgeting and reporting tools that our clients love, including event calculators, cost per lead, and return on investment. There are even tools for planning travel, car rentals and hotels. The beauty of Tradetec Skyline’s system is that all of these useful applications are accessed in one place with an easy to use interface.
Outsourcing portions of a trade show program is nothing new. Our clients have trusted us for years to create and house the best trade show displays available. Our online event management system simply makes the process easier and faster. It gives clients quick, simple access to events, trade show displays, exhibit inventory, return on investment budgeting tools and much more any time they need it.
