Events & Venues
Concerts, festivals, fairs, races, and stadium events: dispatch medical and security teams across the grounds, see every roving unit on a live map, and walk away from every event with a defensible incident record. Resgrid is the ops platform for companies that produce and staff large events.
Free for up to 10 users & units • No contracts • Set up in about 15 minutes
You assemble a temporary workforce, run a small city for a weekend, and get judged on how fast help reaches row 40 — then the lawyers ask for the paperwork.
Renting fleets of two-way radios for every event costs thousands, channels saturate during peak incidents, and half the crowd noise makes traffic unreadable.
Medical, security, parking, and stage crews assembled days before doors. They've never worked together, and there's no time to train them on complex software.
A collapse in the pit, a fight at gate C — ops can't see which roving team is closest, so response runs on shouted radio calls and guesswork.
Incident reports scrawled at 1 AM after teardown. When the claim arrives months later, the documentation is thin, late, and contradictory.
Stand up a professional dispatch operation for each event on the phones your staff already carry — and keep the record forever.
Ops center creates calls — medical, security, lost child, damage — with location and priority, and dispatches the right team by zone or role. Every incident tracked from open to clear.
Roving medics, security teams, and carts report GPS via the Responder and Unit apps. Dispatch sends the closest unit, not the loudest one on the radio.
Resgrid's PTT add-on turns phones into radios with up to 50 channels and worldwide reach. Stop renting handhelds for every show; keep channels clean per function.
Build shifts per event, let staff sign up and set availability, and dispatch only who's on duty. Shift-based alerting handles multi-day festivals cleanly.
Field teams attach GPS-stamped notes and photos to every call in the moment. Timestamps, actors, and actions build an audit trail while the incident happens.
Export complete incident records as PDF for clients, venues, insurers, and counsel. Analytics show incident volumes by type and hour for staffing the next event.
Every event currently means renting hardware, printing forms, and rebuilding coordination from scratch.

A 40-radio, 3-day festival commonly burns $4,000–$7,000 in radio rentals alone. Resgrid replaces rentals, paper, and spreadsheets with one platform you keep between events — and scale down in the off-season without losing data.
Faster response in the crowd, lower per-event costs, and documentation that survives the claim.
