IntelliEvent & CrewBrain: Combined Material and Labor Planning

If you work in the event industry, you know the drill: On one side, there’s the gear – cases, lights, audio, staging, truss. On the other, the crew – who’s driving the truck, setting up the rig, or running the lighting desk? Two sides of the same project, often managed in two entirely separate systems. That’s where the brand-new integration between IntelliEvent and CrewBrain comes in!

What used to involve endless copy-pasting, or worse, pen, paper, and spreadsheets, is now seamless. Your benefits? No duplicate data entry, no detours, and no lost nerves.

Why this combo is a game-changer

IntelliEvent Lightning is a leading system in North America for managing rental gear, quotes, and order processing in the event rental space. CrewBrain, on the other hand, specializes in smart, legally compliant, and flexible crew planning. Until now, there was no bridge between the two. Now there is.

With the new CrewBrain-IntelliEvent interface, all relevant data syncs automatically between both systems:

  • Project dates & locations
  • Staffing needs & role profiles
  • Order references & customer data

You create the order in IntelliEvent – and voilà! The corresponding crew plan appears in CrewBrain. Automatically. No copy-paste. No Excel. No chaos.

What’s in it for you?

  • Fewer errors, more time: Say goodbye to double entry – it saves hours
  • More clarity: All project details in one place, visible in both systems
  • More trust in your data: Updates sync almost instantly – your crew stays in the loop

Who benefits the most?

If you’re in the event business and juggle both equipment and staff planning, this integration is built for you. It’s especially useful for:

  • Equipment rental companies with their own crew
  • Full-service production companies
  • Event service providers with complex workflows
  • Agencies managing multiple projects simultaneously

What do you need to get started?

Not much 😉

  • A CrewBrain account
  • An IntelliEvent account with API access

Then simply activate the sync in your CrewBrain settings – and you’re good to go.

One goal. Zero compromises.

This new interface between IntelliEvent and CrewBrain isn’t just a “nice-to-have” – it’s a serious productivity boost for anyone looking to manage both equipment and people professionally. It links two strong tools without merging them. Each does what it does best – together forming a true power team.

Or put simply: IntelliEvent takes care of the hardware. CrewBrain takes care of the people. And together, they help your next event run like clockwork.
