Say Hello To HoneyComb (Bswarms V2.0)

Posted on - Tuesday, October 25th, 2011 by admin

The whole reason Bswarms exists it to address the pains and frustrations expressed to us by many of our clients about the experience they’ve had with other online registration service. Our primary mission is to encapsulate power and flexibility, in an easy to use service. Our first version was a big hit and got rave reviews. Not too shabby for a newbie on the scene right? Well, excuse us for not being satisfied.

In our continued effort to provide the level of service we think organizers deserve, we have launched version 2.0 of the system, affectionately named Honeycomb.

Here is a run-down of a few new and improved features.

PDF Ticketing

Your event attendees can now instantly print check-in passes (event tickets) after they sign up for your event. Each ticket has a QR code that uniquely identifies them and allows easy check-ins at your event.

Attendee Check-in

Our system now handles onsite check-ins of your attendees using either the web interface or our cool new iPhone application to scan tickets. All aspects of the check-in process is synced with the database of your attendees within Bswarms.

Event Check-in iPhone App

Stop carrying around that bulky clipboard of your event attendees. We have an app for that!

Private Event Sessions

Running a special on a daily deal site? Organizers can now designate private event sessions which will be hidden from general public view. Public sessions can also be hidden when viewing a private session to streamline the promotion of that session.

Contextual Export

Our fancy title for a feature built to make your life simpler. Contextual Export automatically updates the export function to export just the data-set returned by any search you do within the system. No complicated check boxes. No Hassle.

Detailed Transaction Reporting

See the full details of all transactions and which attendee each transaction is associated with. Organizers can also do detailed searching and contextual exports of transactions by date range and keywords.

Advanced Attendee Search & Save

Bswarms performs powerful searches against your attendee data with an easy to use search interface. Use natural language to get the right data. Organizers can also save the search for later use.

Advanced User Permission

Control what each user can manage within your Bswarms account.

Scheduled Email and SMS communications

Send scheduled email or sms communication to your event attendees.  This new feature can also send to just the attendees of a saved search.

Custom CSS

Wanna get a little more creative with your event page? Know a little CSS? Have at it. Organizers can now enhance the look of their event page with powerful custom CSS code.

… and over 50 other enhancements.

We are a little obsessive about Bswarms, so stay tuned as we continue to roll out features that are sure to rock your world. BTW, we didn’t mention a pretty exciting feature we currently have beta testing called D.A.D.E. D.A.D.E is sure sure to change your expectations of other event registration system, enhance your event organizer productivity and increase your event attendee.
