Paper lists at the door that were printed yesterday.
Solution
Run QR-code event check-in
Every ticket and vendor pass carries a QR code staff scan from any phone - with code lookup as the fallback.
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.
- QR passes for attendees and vendors
- Name and code search when cameras fail
- Live check-in counts on the event-day board
The old way
What this replaces.
One shared laptop bottlenecking the entrance.
No idea how many people are actually inside.
FAQ
Common questions.
Do staff need special hardware?
No - any phone browser works. Scan the QR or type the short code.
Can I track vendor arrivals separately?
Yes - vendor check-in is its own list with arrived, not-arrived, and no-show statuses.
What if someone bought at the door?
Sell same-day tickets from the public page and the pass works immediately.
