High volume, communication, scheduling events
He faced challenges in efficiently processing registrations, sending out confirmations, and scheduling events.
Manually coordinating these elements often led to delays and a lack of clear communication with registrants.
This inefficiency hindered their ability to ensure a smooth registration experience and caused potential confusion around scheduling.
