Overall Satisfaction with CrowdCompass
SAE uses CrowdCompass to provide event attendees a compact resource to navigate large, complex meetings. CrowdCompass is maintained by the Events department, and utilized by many others in the organization, such as standards, professional development, Collegiate Design, and others.
- Organizes complex schedules.
- Easy to navigate.
- Flexible enough to include non-standard activities.
- Backend tools are intuitive.
- Ability to include content, such as .pdf and .ppt.
- Some features require a login that is not linked to Association login.
- (At the time) calendar did not automatically start with current day/time.
- There is no bulk loading of graphics.
- SAE continued to utilize printed materials along with the app, so the financial impact was not as direct.
- Community engagement at meetings increased.
- The ability to load presentations and other content resulted in a greater number of downloads.
- EventMobi, Core-apps, Follow Me, EventKaddy, Cvent Onsite Solutions (formerly AllianceTech), QuickMobile, Zerista and A2Z Events
There were 2 apps that got an "A" grade, CrowdCompass and Follow Me. CrowdCompass's finance model was more tolerable as a vendor fee than the revenue-share model for Follow Me. All of the others had significant deficiencies by comparison.
At the time, CrowdCompass was one of the few to offer an API, which we took advantage of.
