The Story
Why The World Needed BriteBiz
2014 - Company Co-founders Eamon Crosby and Emma Killian were managing a super busy events business. The were using the best software tools they could find. No platform would streamline their workflow. They were overwhelmed with administrative tasks.
2015 - Eamon and Emma knew there had to be a better way, and decided to develop a platform tailored to events. With Eamon’s extensive business qualifications and their combined experience in weddings and events, they first set out to find a technical Co-founder to bring the vision to life.
2015 Only the best CTO would suffice. After an extensive search, they met Michael R., who brought significant development experience from working at Microsoft and Google, coupled with a family background in hospitality. He joined the team as CTO, they hired, and the build began.
2016 Version one of BriteBiz was deployed into Eamon & Emma’s company. Before BriteBiz, the company was struggling with the admin load of 10 events per week. Within 10 months it was managing 30 events per week with eyes shut. Everything automated and integrated.
2017 Several venues, vendors, and planners saw BriteBiz, and were blown away. They wanted to use it. The team decided to re-engineer the platform for broader use, making it available to other event companies. We talked to potential customers, listened and developed the product they wanted.
2018 BriteBiz onboards its first customers in the UK and the US. New features are added to the platform including Digital Contracting tools, SMS, and best-in-class features like two-way Xero and Quickbooks integrations. BriteBiz quickly gained a reputation as a leading technology with a customer-centric approach.
2019 - 2024 Directory integrations added. BriteBiz received several awards, including the Best Event Technology at the Event Industry Awards. User numbers soared into the thousands, new territories such as Australia reached. New features like payment plans and floor planning were added. And lots more...
