REED Exhibitions work to ensure the safety of stands at events globally. Working with TAAP® driving efficiency, simplifying extensive planning, scheduling and compliance process with digital oversight.
The TAAP Team deployed the Stand Check Solution with Reed across 70-80 major shows annually.
REED, a leading global events organiser, run 70-80 major shows annually, requiring meticulous planning and coordination. The extensive preparation for each event, including scheduling, exhibitor coordination, and safety compliance, can begin 24-36 months in advance. With each exhibitor or stand undergoing 50 to 160 checks, the management process was incredibly complex and demanding.
The vast number of checks needed for each event created a logistical challenge, resulting in millions of emails exchanged between organisers, exhibitors, and safety officers. The traditional process of manually chasing exhibitors for information and ensuring compliance with safety regulations was inefficient, time-consuming, and prone to errors. This manual system placed a significant strain on resources, making it difficult to maintain high standards of organisation and safety.
To address these challenges, REED implemented the SCS (Show Compliance System), a comprehensive event management solution designed to streamline the process of exhibitor coordination and safety compliance. SCS facilitated the automation of information gathering, tracking of compliance checks, and issuance of permits to build. Remarkably, the system enabled just two event organisers to control an event, regardless of its size, which could range from 20,000 to 500,000 checks.
The SCS platform allowed for real-time review of on-site drawings and agreements, significantly reducing the need for back-and-forth communication. By centralising data and automating the compliance process, SCS dramatically reduced the workload involved in managing communications and ensuring each stand met the required safety and operational standards.
The implementation of the system transformed REED’s event management process. By enabling a more efficient and streamlined approach, REED could ensure a higher level of organisation, safety compliance, and exhibitor satisfaction with significantly reduced manual effort. The ability of just two organisers to manage extensive checks and communications for events of any size not only optimised operational efficiency but also allowed REED to allocate resources more effectively, enhancing the overall quality and safety of their shows.
The SCS solution showcases the power of technology in transforming the event management industry. For REED, adopting the SCS system meant not only a reduction in labor-intensive processes but also an improvement in compliance, efficiency, and event quality. This case study exemplifies how innovative solutions can address complex logistical challenges, setting a new standard for event organization and management.
Why TAAP?
Why would you build applications on TAAP?
The software industry promised you could digitise all your processes, become a data first organisation, embrace AI and transform into the business of the future. But is that really the full story?
It’s an exciting vision, but here’s the reality.
Just like the nuclear industry, software promises immense power and potential, but it also has a radioactive side.
Over time, software decays. It becomes harder to manage, each year its maintenance costs spiral. All software reaches a tipping point where it must be retired or completely rebuilt.
Software maintenance is its own master, touching every part of an organisation.
All of your software must be maintained all at once, reacting to Patches, updates, compatibility issues, and new vulnerabilities. You don’t control the timeline, your software does.
It consumes every available IT resource, restricts agility, and the more you digitise the worse it gets
And the cost? Maintaining software typically costs 7 to 10 times more than the initial cost of building it.
It drains your ability to innovate, to seize opportunities, to move at the speed of business and to remain competitive.
The dream of end-to-end digital transformation begins to fade. The vision becomes a fantasy. Software, once a symbol of progress, becomes a burden. Delays mount. Backlogs grow. New ideas are sidelined. Legacy software grinds your business to a halt, undermining your most critical asset: data.
It’s a self-perpetuating cycle, a workload-creation engine, creating lag, inefficiency, and operational drag.
This isn’t the future you imagined, but it’s how the software industry has operated for the last 50 to 70 years. It’s the unspoken cost of ownership, the law of diminishing returns.
There has to be a better way!
This is where TAAP steps in.
TAAP has shifted spend from maintenance to innovation, embracing an AI-centered future of evolving knowledge engineering.
