Interfaces

Combine CrewBrain with your business solution

One system for your orders, one for your crew – without double entry

In most businesses the orders live in the rental or event system, while the crew is planned separately in spreadsheets or a second program. Every change to an order – a moved date, an extra technician, a new location – then has to be maintained twice. That is exactly what our interfaces solve: CrewBrain connects directly to your system, imports the order data automatically and keeps it up to date. You plan your crew on a state that always matches the order. Whether rental software, hospitality or venue management – the principle stays the same.

Job overview

Twelve prepared systems

The connection is already worked out for twelve systems. Click a system to see what exactly is imported and in which direction the data flows.

Beyond that, CrewBrain also offers

Not just rental and event systems – CrewBrain also connects to the rest of your infrastructure:

  • Office 365 interface
  • iCal synchronisation
  • Open API including webhooks
  • MCP server for AI applications

What is imported as standard

Whatever system you use, CrewBrain imports the same common basis from every connection:

  • Orders and projects
  • Customers
  • Locations
  • Contacts
  • Crew requirement by category and quantity
  • Status
  • Schedules and subjobs
  • Documents

How the fields from your system map onto the structures in CrewBrain is defined by an individual mapping. That way you work with your familiar labels, and the requirement lands exactly in the categories that fit your processes.

The crew requirement is the decisive point

The rental system knows that three technicians are needed – who they are, whether they are available and qualified, and what the assignment costs, only CrewBrain knows. The bare requirement becomes a concrete, documented and billable crew.

Write-back: these systems report back

Most connections are one-way imports: the order data flows from the third-party system into CrewBrain, and crew planning happens here. That is the usual, proven architecture. Three systems go a step further and accept feedback from CrewBrain. Each write-back can be enabled individually and switched off again at any time:

Current RMS

Assigned resources are written back to Current RMS – allocate and deallocate stay in step. More on Current RMS

easyjob (Protonic)

CrewBrain reports the booking and resource status of your crew, as well as leave and absences, back to easyjob. More on easyjob

easyJOB (Because Software)

The working hours recorded in CrewBrain are written back to easyJOB, ready for further commercial processing.

Calendar: Office 365 and vendor-independent

Via Microsoft Graph you connect Office 365 bidirectionally. CrewBrain dates appear in your staff’s Outlook calendar, and changes flow both ways. CrewBrain respects the sensitivity levels of Microsoft 365: you decide which confidentiality level the transferred appointments carry, so the connection fits cleanly even into environments with strict compliance requirements. For larger organisations this is often the decisive building block for fitting CrewBrain into an existing Microsoft landscape. Leave and absences can be mirrored as well, so both worlds share the same availability.

Vendor-independent, it works via the iCal feed: all dates from CrewBrain can be subscribed to in any calendar software, and conversely you import external calendars into CrewBrain. More on the iCal connection

Open interfaces for everything else

Your system is not listed, or you run a custom solution? Via our REST API in versions v1 and v2 you access the data in CrewBrain directly and change it. Webhooks inform your systems in real time as soon as something changes in CrewBrain – without you having to poll regularly. Both API versions are fully documented; v2 extends v1 with additional endpoints without breaking existing integrations.

Via the MCP server, AI clients interact directly with CrewBrain, for example to create jobs or customers. This lets you use an AI of your choice – even your own, locally hosted AI instances. Customers with high data protection or internal data storage requirements, such as in the public sector, benefit in particular from this customizable and secure integration. To the API reference

Documents in live access

Documents from Eventworx, easyjob, Rentman, Current RMS and MouseClick are not copied but retrieved live from the source system. In CrewBrain you therefore always see the current version – there is no once-imported, long-outdated PDF. That is a qualitative difference from a plain file interface: you always work with the version stored in the leading system. Permissions stay in the source system – in CrewBrain you only see what is released there.

Frequently asked questions

Is CalDAV supported?

No. The calendar connection runs via Microsoft Graph for Office 365 and via iCal feeds for all other calendars. CalDAV is currently not supported.

How often does the sync run?

The connections sync regularly via a cron job in the background. In addition, many systems trigger a prompt sync on changes, so the planning state and the order situation match almost continuously.

What happens when something is deleted in the third-party system?

If an order is removed in the source system, CrewBrain flags the related bookings on the next sync. Crew already scheduled stays visible, so planned assignments do not disappear unnoticed and you can reassign deliberately.

My system is not listed – what now?

Via our open REST API and webhooks, practically any system can be connected. The API reference has all the information, and our support helps you set it up.

Can several systems be connected at once?

Yes. You can run several connections in parallel – for example a rental system for the order data and Office 365 for the calendars. Each connection works independently, so you can extend your setup step by step.
