Case Study: Solomon Group achieves 50% venue capacity increase and $700K single-day ticket sales boost with Mendix

Solomon Group Delivers Innovation and Differentiation with the Power of Low-code Development

Solomon Group is a New Orleans–based entertainment production company that runs large events like the Essence Festival and the NCAA Playoff Kickoff. Needing standardization and faster workflows, the firm struggled with spreadsheets, paper files and a limiting Quick Base app — and faced a critical challenge: reliably tracking venue capacity to satisfy fire marshals and business goals during high‑attendance events.

By adopting Mendix low‑code, Solomon built a custom ERP, RFID VIP management and IoT-enabled turnstile system that delivers real‑time attendance and operational control. The apps saved hundreds of staff hours, improved VIP service, enabled a 50% increase in venue capacity, generated an extra $700,000 in single‑day ticket sales, and scaled into a 20‑app portfolio used internally and by clients.
