Establishing a World-Class Crewing Process with Christie Lites

Mertzcrew helps top-notch event production companies reduce their risk while improving efficiency.

After teaming up with Mertzcrew for select projects beginning in 2015, Christie Lites needed a more comprehensive solution for compliance and insurance. As a result, the event lighting company expanded their partnership with us to create a more reliable and efficient event crewing process. Our freelancer management software has proven to be the answer they needed in order to upgrade their operations.

We Cover Compliance and Insurance Needs

With Mertzcrew, Christie Lites could count on clear contracts and proper coverage.

 

To start, our team needed to help Christie Lites ensure the AV technicians they were booking were compliant with all regulations. We help reduce liability through clearly defined contracts and production insurance in place. That way, no matter where in the world the lighting company takes their services, they can trust their network of freelancers are in line with local requirements.

Our Streamlined Solution Boosts Efficiency 

By working hand-in-hand with our client, we created a simplified payment system. 

 

In addition to compliance and insurance needs, our solution led to a more convenient payment process for the Christie Lites team. We worked together to integrate their proprietary ERP, Nexus, directly into our custom software. As a result, they were able to use enhanced crewing tools all in one place, enjoying time and cost savings along the way.
