Event Mgmt Case Study · Multi-Day Conference & Events

How Zoho Backstage powers registration, ticketing, and check-in for a multi-day event

An events/conferences business (or a company's internal events team) replaced spreadsheets, a separate ticketing tool, and manual door-side badge printing with Zoho Backstage-launching a fully branded event microsite, running ticketing and check-in from one platform, and cutting the bottlenecks that make event day the most visible failure point.

End-to-end event platform for conferences, exhibitions & corporate events

The business challenge

Like many growing events businesses, time-to-launch is often too short for a custom-built solution, and check-in bottlenecks are a visible, embarrassing failure point.

What Zoho delivered

Zoho Backstage runs the whole event lifecycle in one platform-and syncs natively with the CRM and marketing tools OMD already implements-removing the “five disconnected tools” problem entirely.

Zoho Backstage - Registration & Ticketing

Launches a branded event microsite from templates in days, not weeks, with online registration and ticketing built in.

  • Customizable registration forms & branded microsite
  • 0% commission ticketing with expiry/activation windows
  • Auto discount codes and attendee pre-approval
  • Virtual and hybrid event support, not just in-person

Zoho Backstage - Check-in & Badging

Removes the single-counter bottleneck - scanning can happen from multiple points at once, with badges printed on-site.

  • QR-code scanning from the branded Organizer app
  • Self-check-in kiosks for high-volume arrivals
  • Custom printable badges, including VIP/restricted-area access
  • Remote, multi-point scanning instead of one desk

Zoho Backstage - Agenda & Session Management

Keeps sessions, add-ons, and exclusive-access zones organized and visible to attendees automatically.

  • Regular and add-on session scheduling
  • Exclusive-zone check-in for premium sessions
  • Attendee app for live schedules and networking
  • Built-in analytics on session attendance

Native Zoho CRM & Campaigns integration

Backstage syncs two-way with Zoho CRM and Campaigns, so events connect straight into the existing sales and marketing pipeline.

  • Manage events directly from Zoho CRM
  • Invite CRM Leads/Contacts as attendees
  • Event automatically reflects as a CRM Campaign
  • New attendees auto-added to Zoho Campaigns for promotion & follow-up

Results achieved with Zoho

Registration & ticketing

One branded microsite replaces registration spreadsheets and a separate ticketing tool, launched in about a week instead of a multi-week build.

Check-in

QR scanning from multiple points removes the single-desk bottleneck that makes event day the most visible failure point.

Session data

Attendee and session data is captured automatically instead of reconciled by hand after the event.

Sales & marketing pipeline

Two-way CRM sync turns event attendees into a trackable pipeline instead of a one-off spreadsheet export.

"Amazon India’s MSME summit built and launched an event microsite in under 7 days, processed 4,000+ ticket registrations, and used Backstage’s QR-based organizer app to check in 2,500+ daily attendees at a venue with limited registration space."
