Adrenalin: A Centralized Event Research Portal That Cut Venue Search Time by 25%

Overview

One Destination for Everything a Sports Event Needs

Organizing a sports event means juggling venues, equipment, suppliers, and dozens of moving parts — usually across scattered directories, phone calls, and spreadsheets. Adrenalin set out to change that with a single destination where sport event planners could research everything an event needs in one place.

247 Labs partnered with Adrenalin to design and build that destination: a centralized event research portal, delivered as a modern web application with integrated payments and analytics, and live at Sporteventresearch.ca.

The Challenge

Fragmented Research Was Slowing Down Every Event

Adrenalin needed a comprehensive tool that let sports event planners find venues and resources efficiently. The core problem was fragmentation: there was no centralized platform for locating event locations, equipment, and the associated resources that make an event run.

Every event forced planners to repeat the same manual research from scratch — comparing options across disconnected sources, with no consistent view of availability. The organizing process was slower and more complicated than it needed to be, and the effort didn’t compound from one event to the next.

The Solution

A Search-First Vue.js Portal with Payments and Analytics Built In

247 Labs built an event research portal centred on a powerful search feature, enabling event planners to quickly discover the venues, suppliers, and resources necessary for successful sports events.

The platform was designed for decision-making, not just lookup: planners can run quick side-by-side comparisons and drill into detailed information on availability before committing. Built on Vue.js, the portal integrates Stripe for payments and Google Analytics for behavioural insight, giving Adrenalin both a polished planner experience and visibility into how the platform is actually used.

Areas of Impact

Where the Portal Changed How Planners Work

  • Faster research. A single powerful search replaced fragmented hunting across directories and phone calls, cutting time spent searching for venues and equipment by 25%.
  • Better decisions. Quick comparisons and detailed availability information let planners evaluate options confidently before booking.
  • One source of truth. Venues, suppliers, and event resources are discoverable in one centralized portal instead of scattered sources.
  • Built-in commerce and insight. Stripe payment integration and Google Analytics give the platform transactional capability and usage visibility from day one.
  • A smoother planning process. Faster research translated into faster event organization overall, and planners reported higher satisfaction with the planning process.
