There are many features on eventree that make it so much more useful than a spreadsheet. Here are just a few:
Multiple users. Although you can share spreadsheets using Dropbox or Google Sheets, there can be problems with multi users e.g. simultaneous use and conflict errors.
Privileges. Eventree allows different users from your event different privileges to fulfill specific roles and prevents access to sensitive information.
Control. You can distribute as many passes, meals etc as you want, to sections in the system and that’s all they can work with.
Communications. When working on a spreadsheet, you may send emails separately to gather information. You may have difficulty tracking who you still need information from. With eventree, all that communication is kept in one place and you can easily contact people based on certain criteria.
Dashboard. At a glance, you can see progress; who has given out their passes, how many spare passes remain etc
On-site operations. When someone arrives on site with a neat barcode to scan, your gate staff know quickly exactly what accreditation to give them
