AI enabled

Epirent and CrewBrain – from order to staffed crew

Epirent by Epi development is a solution for equipment management and order handling in the event industry. Your orders, including schedule, customers and locations, are created in Epirent. CrewBrain takes over this data and turns it into concrete crew planning: the required services and transports become staff and vehicle categories with a requirement, which you staff with your crew in CrewBrain, record the hours and then settle.

Epirent

The Epirent integration is part of our interfaces and open API – you will find every system that connects to CrewBrain there.

What is imported from Epirent into CrewBrain

The import runs automatically. The order structures in Epirent become schedulable objects in CrewBrain:

Import

The connection works as an import: orders, schedules and the crew requirement flow automatically from Epirent into CrewBrain, where you schedule the crew. Changes to an order are picked up on the next sync, so the planning state and the order situation stay aligned.

  2. Select the client whose orders are imported.
  3. Set the event or scheduling period for the sync.
  4. Map the services to the staff and vehicle categories.
