Case Study: Spark Advisors keeps group travel lean and transition-proof with Workgrounds

Spark Advisors cuts event planning time by 40% with Workgrounds

Spark Advisors, a 120-person fully remote company, faced the challenge of coordinating group travel and events for its distributed workforce with a lean people team. Their manual process of sourcing venues and managing individual employee stays was extremely time-consuming, often requiring extra contractor support for large events. To address this, they implemented the AI-powered platform Workgrounds.

By using Workgrounds, Spark Advisors automated hotel sourcing and provided employees with a self-serve portal for managing their stays, which eliminated the organizer's need to handle constant change requests manually. This solution saved their organizer 40% of the time previously spent on manual work and ensured seamless continuity when event ownership was transferred to a new VP. The results included booking 611 room nights across five events and running their smoothest event ever in Savannah without additional headcount.
