AVLD Events

Prior to starting AVLD Events, Dan Longfellow, self-proclaimed “A/V nerd,” worked for an A/V company that specialized in corporate events.

Dan was balancing the idea of starting his own business while working his current job— and with a growing client base, he eventually took the first steps. Dan faced lots of challenges as he debated his business’ launch. Building quotes was a long and tedious process, he was spending time chasing clients down for payments, and he had difficulty organizing his data for his growing team— he needed people to have access to equipment information, but wanted to keep financials private.

Dan was introduced to Goodshuffle Pro from his original company and immediately loved the simple, clean, and professional look of the quotes he received. It was then that Dan decided Goodshuffle Pro was the right software for him to kickstart his own business.

Dan officially launched AVLD Events in 2019. His company is founded on the belief that every client and event is unique, and that the relationship his team builds with each customer is integral to the success of the events.

How We Helped

Building quotes for his growing client base took less than 30 minutes— and sometimes only 5, depending on the project’s scale. Clients were paying faster than ever too. The ease of quote-building, along with beautiful photos of the inventory and the company’s custom branding, made AVLD Events’ quotes a fan-favorite among customers. 

Goodshuffle Pro also sends out automated payment reminders, so Dan has stopped having to play bill collector. Because of the elevated quote experience with Goodshuffle Pro, Dan’s clients were paying much faster— as Dan says, “practically instantly.” 

With Goodshuffle Pro’s various levels of user seats, Dan has been able to segment information in the system so that his team has access to everything they need, without seeing any other data like financial information. 

As a new business owner, Dan faced the challenge of keeping accounting and finances straight, so the QuickBooks Online Integration is important for tracking and improving his company’s financial health. The team tracking tools such as internal notes and messaging, plus the activity log, have also been helpful with keeping everyone aligned and on track.

“Onboarding a team member is almost instant, from adding them as a user to introducing them to the software and our methods.”

AVLD Events

On top of the top-quality features and benefits that Goodshuffle Pro provides AVLD Events, Dan says that the immediate customer support is invaluable. When he initially signed up for a trial, he ran into a minor issue. Goodshuffle Pro’s team had him up and running within 5-10 minutes.

Dan explained that this was “a powerful story about Goodshuffle Pro’s customer service,” and is one of the biggest reasons he continues to love his experience.

As AVLD Events and his inventory collection continues to grow, Dan plans on using Goodshuffle Pro to eliminate human error and streamline his growth.
