Running prom, homecoming, or winter formal for hundreds or even thousands of students can be overwhelming. From managing ticket sales and bus assignments to handling check-ins and parent approvals, there are countless details that can make even experienced activities directors anxious. But what if you could eliminate that stress entirely?

• Keeping track of who's paid and who hasn't
• Managing outside guest approvals

• Coordinating bus assignments for large groups
• Checking in hundreds of students efficiently
• Maintaining accurate records for administration
• Fielding endless calls and emails from confused parents about payment options
