Customer stories


eXp Realty

“We used the OnArrival 360 team and they were truly a godsend. We developed a really good relationship with them and I can’t recommend that team enough. We certainly hit our goal and check-in was less than 30 seconds per person, which was awesome to see.”

Ciara Baker, Senior Event Manager

USC Office of Orientation

“We use OnArrival for our event check-in, which has really streamlined a lot of our event preparation and allows us to capture accurate data. We also save a lot of time on name badge printing, which has been a big issue in the past. So it makes it a lot easier for us to get our reporting data in real time."

Christine D'Arcy, Cvent Administrator
