Are you preparing an event and are you looking for an effective method to centralize everything, avoid oversights, and offer a smooth experience to your participants?
Good news: organizing an event can become much easier if you adopt the right tools and the right reflexes.

In this article, find out our advice for organizing your event from A to Z, while exploring how a solution like Wilout can automate your tasks, save you time, and improve the management of your event.

‍

Why organizing an event is often complex

Whether you're planning a festival, trade show, conference, or corporate event, the challenges are often the same:

• juggling several tools (ticketing, access control, payment solutions...),
  
  
• manage multiple stakeholders,
  
  
• track sales and entries in real time,
  
  
• ensure a smooth experience for the public.
  
  

That's why a centralization of tools and a good methodology are essential. Here's how to do it.

‍

Centralize the management of your event from the start

One of the most common mistakes in event management is to multiply the sources of information: numerous spreadsheets, emails, online tools that are not connected to each other. The result: scattered data, frequent oversights, and a huge waste of time.

Organization tip : use a single solution that allows you to configure everything from the preparation phase.
With the solutions Wilout, you combine the creation and sale of tickets, accesses, schedules, zones... on a single interface. No more duplicates and contradictory versions. Everything is synchronized in real time for your entire team.

‍

Set up an online ticketing system

The box office is often the first point of contact between you and your audience. It should inspire trust, be clear, and suitable for use on mobile.

With the Wilout online ticketing, you create in a few minutes:

• ticket categories (VIP, reduced price, invitations...),
  
  
• sales periods with quotas,
  
  
• a personalized mini-site without the need for a developer,
  
  
• a fast and secure buying process.
  
  

Tickets are sent automatically with a QR code ready to be scanned. You quickly get a optimized online ticketing, which boosts your sales and simplifies management.

‍

Anticipate flows and facilitate field logistics

Of course, organizing your event does not end with ticket sales. It requires the proper management of the flow of participants on site: payment on site, access to the various areas, interactions with the stands.

To facilitate this, we recommend that you set up a cashless system.
With Wilout, you can order personalized bracelets or cards, which you distribute to participants. They will be able to credit them before, and/or during the event. Each point of sale has its terminal with products and prices configured in advance very simply from your management interface. The total sales for each point of sale is synchronized in a single dashboard.

The cashless payment system ensures fast, contactless, error-free payment, and with a clear view of the performance of each stand.

‍

Easy access control

Waiting times at entrances can interfere with a good visitor experience. A smooth organization starts with a fast, reliable, and easily configurable access control.

La access control solution Wilout allows you to:

• create lists of guests or registrants by zone,
  
  
• search for participants in the lists,
  
  
• scan entries with a free mobile application or a supplied terminal,
  
  
• manage multiple accesses (VIP areas, staff, exhibitors) without complexity.
  
  

Even when offline, the scans work. You reduce the wait at the entrance and easily secure access to all your spaces.

‍

Analyze your sales and adjust in real time

When the ticket office is open, follow-up becomes essential.
Which tickets are selling the most? At what point? What formulas work best? It is by analyzing this data that you can adjust your communication or your quotas.

Wilout gives you access to a real-time dashboard, with all the statistics you need to monitor your sales. No need for a spreadsheet or manual exports: everything is already ready.

‍

Finalize details stress-free the days before the event

A few days before the start of your event, it's time to make sure everything is ready and set up correctly for the opening.
Who is on what list? What accesses are activated? Do the scan terminals work well? Is cashless ready?

With Wilout, all this can be managed from a unique interface, updated in real time. You can:

• test the terminals and scanners,
  
  
• add/modify stand products,
  
  
• check accesses and lists in the blink of an eye.
  
  

No more last-minute improvisations: you arrive at D-day serene, with a clear plan and well-prepared teams.

‍

Ensure smooth management on D-Day

On the day of the event, you need to be able to deal with the unexpected, without wasting time on technical tasks.

Thanks to Wilout, you keep:

• a quick entry check,
  
  
• ticket validation even offline,
  
  
• a live view of cashless sales,
  
  
• the possibility of instantly resolving incidents (unreadable QR code, blocked recharge...).
  
  

It frees up time for coordinate teams, manage logistics and focus on what matters: the atmosphere and the participants.

‍

Analyze your results to best prepare for your next events

The post-event period is too often forgotten, even though it is essential for progress. Take stock: How many tickets were scanned? Which stands performed the most? What turnover was generated?

With Wilout, you get access to automatic reports, as soon as the event is over. You can:

• consult all the key statistics,
  
  
• export your data in one click,
  
  
• share the results with your partners.
  
  

It is an opportunity to learn from this edition, and to prepare for the next one on an even stronger basis.
