This year marks a significant milestone as Mertzcrew celebrates 25 years of innovation, growth, and dedication to the live events industry. From humble beginnings to becoming an industry leader in workforce and technology solutions, our journey reflects a deep commitment to collaboration, customer satisfaction, and excellence. Over the past quarter-century, curiosity, teamwork, and a passion for solving real-world challenges have driven meaningful technological advancement, from early digital tools to today’s artificial intelligence–powered innovations. This 25th anniversary celebration honors not only where we’ve been, but the ideas, partnerships, and emerging technologies that will shape the future generations of live events.

Being a scheduler is no easy feat, with outdated spreadsheets, scattered communication, and critical crew knowledge walking out the door when schedulers move on to other opportunities, live event companies are operating under constant pressure. Mertzcrew’s mission is to empower event production teams with smart, adaptive tools and support to overcome these hurdles to put on successful, more streamlined events. With that mission in mind, the next era of crew management has arrived! 

Approving project hours and invoices is never as straight-forward as it should be. When crew members submit their services for your approval, errors and missing details are bound to occur. However, with the Clarify tool on the Mertzcrew approvals page, these corrections don’t need to slow down your approval process.

At Mertzcrew, we’re all about simplicity. Our all-in-one AV crew management platform has given AV companies the ability to centralize project details, services/hours rendered, payments, communications, project updates, and more for both the company’s employees and the freelancers Mertzcrew helps to contract.

While we designed our online, AV Crew Management system to be intuitive and easy to use, we knew that challenges and questions would still come up. When they do, your team needs answers, and fast -- especially when you’re in the midst of coordinating a project on a tight timeline.

We are happy to announce that our recently released Help Center will help you find all of the answers you need so you don’t have to stop working on your projects.

It takes a team to complete an AV project, but keeping that team organized can be just as challenging as getting the project done.

Making educated crewing decisions for an AV project takes time and deliberation. Do you have the right employee or skilled freelancers in your network? What was their last project with you? Are they really skilled at what they do? How do you know? There are many boxes to check and verify, and no easy way to do it.
