All your customers in one view

Managing a car show is not all that easy. Especially as the car show grows. Middletwin understands this, after all Middletwin is built for managing car shows. Because of this Middletwin is constantly learning, constantly growing, and the Middletwin customers are also constantly giving great suggestions as they use Middletwin too.

This feature comes directly from one of Middletwin’s customers, and it is by far one of the best suggestions ever.

The Customers view.

Because Middletwin is so easy to setup and use for pre-registrations, pre-ticket sales, pre-swap meet sales, and so much more, our customers end up pre-selling hundreds of these items well in advance of their show. And even though Middletwin greatly simplified the show pre-sales and balloting processes, as well as other processes, show administrators had to go to multiple screens to get all their customers purchase details and had to manually tie the purchases together… well as the saying goes, it’s 2024 and we can put a man on the moon, why can’t we put all the show customers into one view… and so we did.

This is an actual screen shot of the customers view in action.

Car show administrators can now use Middletwin to see all their customers in one place, they can manage registrations, ticket sales, and vendor/swap space sales from a single screen.

There is no doubt about it, Middletwin is hands down the best software for managing a car show or a car club. Come see why you want Middletwin for your car show, sign up for a demo today.
