A Unified Platform Brought Structure To Global Vendor Coordination
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Sparks, a global brand experience agency enlisted InAir to develop a sophisticated Budget Management and Vendor Resource Allocation solution on the Airtable platform.
This bespoke tool was designed to seamlessly integrate with the client's core enterprise systems: NetSuite, Salesforce, and Boomi, creating a cohesive technological ecosystem that streamlines their operations across multiple platforms.
Fragmented Workflows Slowed Visibility And Budget Control
CHALLENGE
Sparks faced significant operational hurdles managing their large-scale global events due to fragmented systems and processes. They lacked a unified platform for tracking event budgets, resources, and expenses, creating persistent inefficiencies across their global operations. The absence of real-time visibility into vendor resource availability and budget allocations made verification processes cumbersome and error-prone.
Without connected systems, the company couldn't see the full picture of their events. This siloed approach hindered decision-making, limited team collaboration, and made it harder to deliver the seamless event experiences their clients expected.
