When we began StaffMate Online in 2002, an overwhelming majority of event-based employees didn't yet have email accounts, only a select few had Internet access in their homes, and Internet on mobile phones wasn't a thing. Undetered, we devoted the better part of a decade educating event professionals and their employees on how to utilize this emerging technology to simplify their lives and now 19 years later, it's difficult to imagine the life of a scheduling coordinator prior to 2002: busy signals, answering machines and undelivered messages left with spouses and children leading to an impatient waiting game for the reply call which wouldn't come until the following day, if at all.
We are extremely proud of our storied past and the part we played and continue to play in completely transforming the way event professionals schedule their staff but we are even more excited about the future of our platform, about our sponsorship of the 2019 Catersource Conference & Tradeshow and look forward to showing off our completely redesigned web site, brand new account platform, text messaging reminders (all available now) and our brand new iOS & Android apps (due out this winter).
