Fix What Slows You Down

We're not a SaaS tool. We're people who untangle the messy bits - lost timelines, disconnected tools, scattered info. We work with you to figure out what's broken, and quietly fix it.

TidyOps in Action

Before TidyOps
After TidyOps

Scattered tools and processes

You're in the business of creating unforgettable experiences. But between vendor contracts, budgets, client briefs, last-minute requests, and timelines - the admin gets in the way.

TidyOps brings it all together, so you can focus on what you do best: delivering experiences that wow.

We fix workflows that waste time.

Client-Facing Workflows

Smooth systems from first brief to final invoice.

  • Client briefs and requirements
  • Approval requests and sign-offs
  • Last-minute changes and requests
  • Post-event follow-ups and invoicing

Internal Operations

Everything centralized, nothing gets lost.

  • Information capture - emails and updates logged
  • Vendor management - contracts in one view
  • Budget tracking - expenses against budget
  • Timeline coordination - tasks and runsheets

The Admin Tax in Live Events

Event planners spend an average of 40% of their time on administrative tasks. (International Live Events Association)

40% of an event planner's time is lost to admin

Scheduling, vendor emails, spreadsheets, confirmations, reconciling changes – all the invisible work that keeps a show upright but kills momentum.

12 hrs/week

go into pure admin – over 600 hours a year

That's the equivalent of four months of full-time work per planner, gone before you even get onsite.

30–45 hrs

per event spent on logistics and vendor coordination alone

Across a typical 3-event season, that's 90–135 hours – two to three full workweeks just moving information around.

Every production team is carrying a hidden extra headcount of admin. You either absorb it, delay things, or burn out your best people. The opportunity is cutting that load without cutting quality.

What Changes When You Fix It

When event teams get their systems working together, the chaos quiets down. Responses get faster, fires get smaller, and the work becomes manageable instead of overwhelming.

Some Problems We've Helped Fix

Real workflows we've built for event production teams. Every agency runs differently though, so we always start from scratch to figure out what's actually slowing you down.

Vendor Coordination

Problem Tracking vendor deliverables across multiple contracts meant chasing emails and checking spreadsheets constantly.
How We Fixed It

Event Timeline Management

Problem Keeping the team aligned on pre-event tasks and day-of runsheets meant manually updating multiple documents and sending reminders.
How We Fixed It

Post-Event Follow-Up

Problem Sending client feedback requests, wrap reports, and thank-yous meant hours of admin after an already exhausting event week.
How We Fixed It

Attendee Management

Problem Managing RSVPs, dietary requirements, and check-in lists across different tools led to last-minute scrambles and errors.
How We Fixed It

Budget Tracking

Problem Reconciling expenses from multiple vendors and matching invoices to budgets meant spreadsheet hell after every event.
