DHL
Moving away from manually managing events through Outlook and Excel to a robust and user-friendly suite of event management tools.
About Client
DHL, prior to using Stova, was organising several of its international events the old fashion way via manual tasks completed with Outlook and Excel spreadsheets. According to Marcus Speck, IT Product Manager, it came to the point where the organization wanted to explore a better technology option on the market to help them do a better job managing their events. With its robust suite of event management tools and user-friendliness, Stova’s stood out against the competition as the best option for DHL.

Stova is a fully integrated end-to-end event management platform that has everything we needed. We especially loved the versatility of the registration module where everything is kept in one place, including reporting.

DHL also appreciated Stova’s integration capabilities and its ability to connect to other systems to transfer and share data with other software in its technology stack, especially the Salesforce integration.
Solution
With Stova, DHL can create professional, fully-branded event websites, registration pages, and event mobile apps for its internal events, something that both staff and attendees have appreciated. DHL also uses Stova’s registration tool to easily collect specific information they need about their attendees like dietary restrictions, accommodation requirements, etc.
We are really excited about how user-friendly the platform is. You don’t need to be IT-minded or tech-savvy at all to work with Stova.

DHL employees attending internal events have also been impressed by the mobile event app.
“The mobile app is also really great,” says Kevin Pallas, Senior Director of Sales Processes & Account Management Methodologies at DHL. “It helped me make the most out of my time at the event, helping me plan what to attend and reminding me when I needed to be there. Being able to receive messages and have the ability to provide feedback was fantastic as well.”
Stova’s global, 24/7 support team has also been a strong asset for DHL. “I have nothing but praise for the Stova support team,” Speck says. “When we reach out for help, our questions are usually solved within a couple of hours, not days.”
Overall, Speck says he has received great feedback about how professional and well-thought out Stova’s event technology is. He adds: “After every event we run with Stova, other internal divisions at DHL come up to me asking if they can use the product as well for their events.”
Stova’s excellent reputation has grown by word of mouth throughout DHL, and its other internal divisions plan on exploring their own implementations as a result.
