We knew that supporting the best freelance technicians in the live events industry meant getting it just right. And we did. The Mertzcrew App is officially live and available for download on iOS and Android!

Built exclusively for techs in the Mertzcrew network, the new mobile app delivers all the crew management tools they already use but in a faster, more convenient format that fits in their pocket. From submitting services and expenses to syncing calendars and bidding on project opportunities, Mertzcrew is now more accessible than ever. 

Our clients won’t download the Mertzcrew Mobile App—but your contractors will. And that’s exactly the point.

The new Mertzcrew App was built specifically for the technicians in your network, putting the tools they use every day directly in their hands. Features like real-time service and expense submissions, project notifications, calendar syncing, and concierge-level support are now more accessible than ever. The result? Faster turnaround times, fewer missed details, and smoother project execution from start to finish.

When technicians spend less time navigating administrative tasks, they show up more focused, more prepared, and more responsive on-site. That means better outcomes for your events—and a stronger reputation for your team. Clients and freelancers alike will see that you’ve partnered with a platform that puts professionalism, speed, and innovation at the forefront.

This isn’t just a convenience update, it’s a strategic step forward in how live events are executed. The Mertzcrew App is one more way we’re building a smarter, safer, and more streamlined experience for the people who bring events to life.

Why the Mertzcrew App Matters to Your Business

This app isn’t just a new tool—it’s a clear sign that Mertzcrew is evolving to meet the demands of modern live event production with smarter, faster, and more connected solutions.

It reinforces our commitment to the people who power your events.

While many platforms focus solely on the client side, we built this app for the techs who make your live events happen. A better experience for them means stronger, more reliable crews for you.

It accelerates your payment workflows.

With techs submitting services and expenses daily from their phones, you get timely, accurate records—no more chasing down timesheets or navigating delays. Faster submissions mean faster approvals and payments.

It strengthens communication and responsiveness.

With real-time alerts and mobile accessibility, techs can accept gigs, confirm details, and respond to changes quickly, reducing back-and-forth and keeping your projects moving forward.

What This Means for Your Crew

From streamlined submissions to real-time updates, the app makes key tasks faster and easier, so techs can spend less time on paperwork and more time focused on the gig.

With the app, they’ll experience: 

• Fewer delays when:
  • Accepting/revising/ or declining contracts
  • Submitting services
  • Submitting expenses
• Faster turnarounds:
  • From the approval process to payment execution
  • Quicker bids on open projects and broadcasts (since the techs will have notifications on for potential roles)
• Compliant contracts
• On-time payments
• A more efficient experience for them, and by extension, for your production.

As the live events industry evolves, so should the way we support it. The Mertzcrew App is one step closer to smarter, safer, and more streamlined crewing for everyone involved, where every detail is in order. It is a must-have that keeps the crew in mind, so you can have peace of mind that things are running smoothly. 

Plus, your crew will love these features:

• Building a standout profile to get them noticed.
  • Techs can add a profile picture, craft a compelling bio, upload their resume, and showcase their roles, skills, and certifications, all designed to attract more clients and land more gigs.
• Syncing their calendar and staying organized.
  • They can seamlessly connect their calendar to keep track of gigs, deadlines, and availability, no double-booking, no surprises.
• Staying on top of their schedule with ease.
  • Techs can instantly view your current and upcoming projects in one place, so you always know what’s next and where you need to be.
• Discovering and bidding on open gigs.
  • Crews can browse available projects for which clients are actively hiring. Submit your bid, and whether you're chosen or not, you'll be notified so you're always in the loop.
• Reviewing and locking in their next opportunity.
  • They can easily read, accept, or request changes to contracts for upcoming gigs right from the app.
• Tracking their work and getting paid faster.
  • Submitting their services and expenses for completed projects quickly and accurately has never been simpler while keeping their earnings and reimbursements on schedule.

We’re especially proud of the final two features because they reflect what matters most to us at Mertzcrew: understanding and supporting the live event space. We know your crews are the boots on the ground. When technicians can work more efficiently in their contract roles, the companies that book them benefit too. With a user-friendly interface and simplified processes, techs can stay focused on what they do best—delivering exceptional work—without getting bogged down in paperwork.
