Where Tripleseat falls short

Onboarding is demo-gated and slow

Tripleseat requires a sales demo before you can try it, and reports cite setup fees and days-to-weeks onboarding. You are live in Irisen in under an hour.

No vendor marketplace or day-of check-in

Tripleseat has no marketplace to source caterers, florists, and DJs — and no GPS vendor check-in to confirm who is on-site on the day.

No project management or email campaigns

Tripleseat covers the booking, but it has no Asana-style workstream for your team and no full email-marketing builder for nurturing past clients.

No hands-free voice assistant

Your team still clicks through every screen. Irisen has Iris — a voice assistant that runs the platform hands-free while you plan.

How Irisen solves it

One platform, the whole event lifecycle

Lead CRM + pipeline

Capture inquiries, track them through a pipeline, and auto-follow-up before they go cold — same core CRM capability, self-serve setup.

Live day-of timeline + GPS check-in

A real-time activity timeline where vendor check-ins with GPS arrival confirmation update actual start and end times as they happen.

Contracts & e-sign built in

Drag-and-drop DocStack builder for proposals, contracts, and invoices with e-signature and pay-at-acceptance — no separate subscription.

Payments + immutable ledger

Stripe checkout, Plaid ACH, payment schedules, automated reminders, and an append-only ledger that makes month-end reconciliation trivial.

Branded guest portal

A private portal per guest — timeline, RSVP, vision board, and two-way chat with your team, white-labeled for your brand.

Vendor marketplace + check-in

Browse and invite caterers, florists, DJs, and photographers from the Irisen network. They check in on the day with GPS arrival confirmation.
