Sound familiar?

On the third fair day, the French-speaking hostess is missing

Trade fairs run over several days, every stand has its own requirements, and exhibitors want to know who is coming. persoo keeps qualifications, days and contact persons together.

Your benefits

For hosts, stands and halls

From hosts and hostesses to the set-up crew — every position with its own requirements.

Languages & skills

Add skills such as “English”, “French” or “Presenting” and combine them on the shift with AND/OR. Suggestions only show people who fit.

Duplicate fair days

Plan one fair day completely and copy it to the remaining days. Save entire trade fairs as templates for next year.

QR code at the hall entrance

Put up a code or attach an NFC sticker — your staff check themselves in and out. Codes at a venue apply to all events there.

Plan for exhibitors

Share a stand's plan with the exhibitor via a link — with a password and a choice of how names are shown. The link expires after the fair.

Pay grades

Host, team lead, set-up: every shift gets its pay grade, which can be overridden per person — and ends up correctly in the payroll sheet.

Message everyone on the stand

Dress code changed, meeting point moved? One message to everyone scheduled on a day, in a position or on a shift.

A real-world example

Trade fair: 4 days, 5 stands, entrance

Example: five exhibitors book hosts and hostesses and stand staff, plus entrance and cloakroom for the event organiser.

1

Create the fair

Four days plus set-up, one position per stand with slots and requirements such as “English”. Plan the first day, copy it to the others.

2

Fill the shifts

Post shifts or auto-assign: persoo takes languages, absences and rest periods between long fair days into account.

3

Inform exhibitors

Each exhibitor gets the link to their stand. Your staff get the briefing the day before, with hall, stand and contact person.

4

Check in & bill

QR code at the staff entrance, approve the times, report hours per client and export payroll sheets.

Cost in this example: 20 people × 4 fair days = 80 confirmed slots × €0.25 = €20 net

Long days, lots of people

Rest periods and registration duties covered

Fair days are long, and set-up and dismantling often happen at night. While you fill shifts, persoo points out where things get tight — configurable per agency.

  • A warning if the rest period between dismantling and the next fair day is too short
  • A warning if the maximum daily working time is exceeded
  • Reminder of the immediate registration (Sofortmeldung) on the first assignment — trade fair set-up and dismantling is one of the industries where it is mandatory
  • Monthly hours limit per person
  • Warnings don't block anything and are not legal advice — you decide

FAQ

Questions about trade fair planning

Can I set languages as a requirement?

Yes. Languages and other qualifications are skills in the staff pool. On the shift, you combine them with AND/OR — for example “English AND (French OR Spanish)”. Suggestions, job postings and auto-assign take this into account.

How do staff check in at the hall entrance?

You put up a QR code or attach an NFC sticker. Your staff scan it with their phone — the first scan checks them in, the next one checks them out. persoo finds the right shift by itself.

Can the exhibitor see my staff's data?

Only what you share. You create the plan link, choose how names are shown and optionally set a password. Contact details and staff records are not included in the shared plan.
