Industries · Events & hire

Every event, from enquiry to pack-down, in one place.

Your hire tool, your inbox and your accounts, all holding the same booking. TAO gives it one place to run from. It is the industry we come from, and the first place TAO ever ran.

Where the hours go

An event is thirty small handoffs: the enquiry, the quote, the hold, the confirmation, the runsheet, the bump-in, the invoice, the follow-up. Each one lives in a different tool, and each handoff is a chance to drop something on the day it cannot be dropped.

The tools you already use, connected

The tools we most often connect in your trade, two-way. Running something we haven’t listed? Bring it to the call. If other tools can connect to it, we usually can too.

What your assistant does on an event

Four things that happen on their own once the tools can see each other.

01

An enquiry becomes a quote drawn from live Current RMS availability, sent for your approval before the client has finished their coffee.

02

Confirmations update the rental tool, the calendar and the runsheet in one move.

03

Bump-in details go to the crew, the venue and the client without anyone typing them three times.

04

After pack-down, the invoice reconciles against Xero and the follow-up asks for the review.

Same story, different tools. TAO connects yours.
How we think about events & hire

Questions people ask about their industry

Can it quote from live availability?

Yes. An enquiry becomes a quote drawn from live availability in your hire tool, sent for your approval.

What happens after the event?

After pack-down, the invoice reconciles against your accounts and the follow-up asks for the review.

Which tools can you connect?

We already connect more than 130 tools across 21 categories, and the list grows every month. The integrations page lists them all. If you use something that isn’t listed, bring it to the call. If other tools can connect to it, we usually can too.

One conversation about how your business works.

Half an hour with the people who would build it. Then a proposal for exactly what TAO should take off your plate.
