Built for the Events
That Can't Afford Mistakes
Whether it's a multi-week brand activation or a single-day festival, Popsicle adapts to your workflow — not the other way around.
Four Event Worlds. One Platform.
Brand Activations
Multi-week blue-chip marketing activations demand precision at every level. Popsicle handles the complexity of rotating staff across shifts, tracking hours in real time, and reconciling costs against program budgets — so your field teams stay focused on the experience.
- Shift-by-shift staffing with role-based rate cards
- Real-time check-in/check-out via SMS links
- Automated reconciliation against program budgets
- Multi-city program rollups in one dashboard
Festivals
High-volume, short-duration events where hundreds of staff need to be in the right place at the right time. Popsicle's bulk deployment and SMS check-in means your operations team can manage the chaos without spreadsheets and group texts.
- Bulk staff import and shift assignment
- One-tap SMS check-in — no app download required
- Live headcount dashboard for ops managers
- Post-event cost reports in under 60 seconds
Conferences & Trade Shows
When your event runs across multiple venues with specialized roles — VIP hosts, tech support, registration — you need granular control. Popsicle lets you assign by zone, track by role, and reconcile by department.
- Zone and venue-based shift scheduling
- Role-specific rate cards and skill tagging
- Department-level cost allocation
- Vendor and contractor time tracking
Sports & Live Events
Game days, tournaments, and fan zones operate on tight timelines with zero room for error. Popsicle keeps your staffing operation running like clockwork — from load-in to breakdown — with real-time visibility for every stakeholder.
- Game-day staffing templates for repeat events
- Load-in to breakdown shift tracking
- Stakeholder-specific reporting views
- Overtime alerts and compliance guardrails
Three Things You Won't Find Elsewhere
Built for Event Staff, Not Office Workers
Most workforce tools assume everyone has a laptop and a calendar invite. Popsicle was designed from day one for people on their feet — field staff who check in with a single SMS tap and managers who need answers from a phone screen between setups. No app downloads, no training sessions, no friction.
Reconciliation, Not Just Tracking
Anyone can clock people in. Popsicle closes the loop — connecting scheduled hours, actual hours, and billable rates into a single reconciliation workflow. When the client asks "what did this cost?", your answer is one export away. No cross-referencing spreadsheets, no end-of-month surprises.
Institutional Grade, Boutique Feel
Enterprise-level security, audit trails, and compliance — without the enterprise sales process. Popsicle gives agencies and event companies the same rigor that Fortune 500 HR systems demand, wrapped in an interface your team will actually enjoy using. No six-month implementations. No dedicated admin required.
