No record of who actually showed up.
Solution
Track no-shows and attendance
Arrived, not-arrived, and no-show statuses for every vendor - history that informs next year's approvals.
Why it matters
Event operations work better when the data stays connected.
VendlyNest keeps the event page, ticketing, participant intake, sponsor packages, booth assignments, orders, passes, support, and check-in in one organizer-controlled system - so a change in one place shows up everywhere it matters.
- Vendor check-in with explicit no-show status
- Notes on every check-in record
- History visible in the vendor CRM
The old way
What this replaces.
Next year's decisions made on vibes.
Deposits refunded to vendors who ghosted.
