How it works

You send a spreadsheet. We run your front door.

Send us your final guest list and we handle check-in, badge printing and reporting on the day. No complicated pre-event software for you or your attendees to navigate.

You provide the guest list

Send us your confirmed attendee or guest list before the event.

02

GEL loads the system

We prepare the check-in data, badge templates, print setup and onsite workflow.

03

Guests check in onsite

Guests scan, search or confirm details at the kiosk, print station or staffed counter.

Badges print fast

Name badges print onsite only when needed, fewer errors, queues and waste.

05

You receive reporting

Attendance data, check-in insights and post-event reports where required.
