CredsNow
What it is
CredsNow is an onsite event management platform for teams handling attendee check-in, badge printing, sessions, lead retrieval, digital badges, and event project management. Event staff can create branded badge templates in an online designer, with unlimited badge designs available on the free account. At venues, self-serve kiosks can check in attendees and print badges through QR codes or name lookup. A cloud print agent connects printers for distributed, on-demand printing at multiple stations. The Session module includes QR scanning, attendance tracking, real-time dashboards, credit tracking, and access control. CredsNow lists native integrations with Cvent, Swoogo, Eventbrite, Stova, Jemex, M Tiley Group, and Zapier, alongside webhooks and an open API. The free account includes unlimited events, data, and check-in screens, and allows testing session scanning and lead retrieval. Paid software and session options carry per-event and usage-based fees. CredsNow says it hosts data in the United States on Microsoft Azure and encrypts it in transit and at rest; SOC 2 Type 2 is in progress. It also offers a service bureau for ordering pre-printed badges, cards, and passes.
