"Adding humans in individually is incredibly time-consuming." - Production Manager

"If a project gets postponed by a week and I need to change everyone's schedule, it would take me 42 clicks to change everyone's schedule." - AV Company Owner

"This 2.6 million dollar job took me a week to do just because of the manual input." - Senior Project Manager

"We waste hundreds of hours a year on duplicating information between systems." - Operations Manager

Sound familiar? I build custom software that eliminates these workflow nightmares.

Timeline: 4 months | Industry: AV Production & Event Management

Allied Productions had a functional but tedious labor booking workflow. Jesse Andler (Labor Manager) was managing everything effectively, but spending significant time on repetitive manual tasks:

The Daily Inefficiencies:

• 24-hour lag time - Lasso only imported new events from Flex once per day
• Incorrect import data - System pulled trucking dates instead of actual crew call times
• Manual corrections required - Jesse had to fix dates and times for each event
• Scattered information - Contacts spread across Flex, Lasso, and Monday without synchronization
• Annual manual updates - Contractor information updated once yearly via Monday.com form, then manually entered

"We use a lot of different apps for what we do and that's part of the problem and I wish it was all on one app I wish it could all just be in one environment but it's not" - Jesse A., Labor Manager

Rather than asking Allied to change their proven processes, I built a system that eliminated the manual inefficiencies while keeping their existing workflow intact.

What I Built:

✅ Real-time Flex API integration - No more 24-hour delays
✅ Automatic contact consolidation - Programmatically moved all Lasso contacts to Flex
✅ Correct time importing - Load-in/load-out times instead of trucking dates
✅ Stateless application - No duplicate data management, just smart API calls
✅ Intuitive crew calendar - Visual availability tracking Jesse actually wanted to use

Impact:

• ⚡ Eliminated repetitive data entry - automatic sync between systems
• 🔄 All labor information centralized in Flex - PMs can now access crew details directly instead of contacting Jesse
• 🎯 Familiar interface - built to work naturally with existing AV workflows
• 💼 Reduced daily friction - Jesse can focus on crew coordination instead of data management

The Process Transformation:

Old way: Email → Monday form → Lasso (with wrong times) → Manual corrections → PMs contact Jesse for labor info
New way: Allied Crew app → Real-time Flex updates → All stakeholders see current data

Biggest win: Project managers can now see labor assignments directly in Flex, eliminating the constant back-and-forth with Jesse for crew information.
