Intelligence that doesn't stop at reporting
Coming July 2026. We've partnered with Events500 to bring connected intelligence across your venue operation. Connect bookings, marketing, sales and finance to see which enquiries are most likely to convert, understand what's driving revenue, and forecast demand.

Intelligence That Doesn't Stop At Insight
Qtell continuously connects data, uncovers opportunities, recommends actions, measures outcomes, and improves over time.
Understand
Interpret what's happening across your connected data in context.
Recommend
Surface the actions that matter most so your team focuses on the right thing.
Act
Push intelligence back into the systems your team already uses.
Improve

IN PRACTICE
An enquiry arrives in Events500. Marketing activity, booking history, venue performance and customer behaviour are already connected, so Qtell scores the enquiry using the full picture rather than one system alone. Your team prioritises follow-up on the enquiries most likely to book. The outcome, won or lost, feeds back into the model to improve the next score.
- Fully managed
- Continuously learning
- Built for modern venues
Looking for a venue management system?

Events500
Run the venue. Enquiry capture, proposals, contracts, payments, diary, and the customer portal.

Together
Run the venue and continuously improve how it performs.
About Events500
Events500 is a UK-built event venue management platform used by venues across the country. Their software handles enquiry capture, proposal generation, contracts, payments, the event diary, table planning, and the customer portal. It's the operational backbone of running a venue, purpose-built for venue teams rather than adapted from generic software. We've partnered with Events500 because their platform handles the operational side better than anything else we've seen. Qtell sits alongside, bringing the cross-domain intelligence Events500 customers will need to make sense of bookings together with marketing, ad spend, finance, and everything else the business runs on.

If any of these sound familiar, the partnership is built for your venue.
Venue Metrics
Standard booking counts don't tell you what's happening. You need SpaceRev, value per head, and covers in a language that fits venues.
Multi-Venue
You run more than one venue and group-level reporting still depends on manual consolidation every month.
Disconnected Data
Your finance, marketing, and operations data sits in separate systems that never quite talk to each other.
Long Sales Cycles
By the time an event happens, you've lost visibility into what influenced the booking months earlier.
No Data Team
You don't have analysts or engineers, but the questions you need answered keep getting harder.
Marketing Attribution
You know where enquiries came from, but not which marketing spend became booked revenue.
One Trusted Number
Every system gives a different answer, and nobody is completely sure which number to trust.
AI-Ready Data
You're starting to use AI, but your data isn't organised in a way AI can reliably understand.
From Disconnected Systems To Connected Intelligence
Four steps to extend your venue operation with connected intelligence.
Connect
Qtell connects to Events500 via secure API. Your team keeps managing bookings as normal.
Combine
Events500 data combined with finance, operations, and marketing data from other systems.
Understand
Venue-specific business knowledge applied to turn connected data into meaningful intelligence.
Activate
Intelligence delivered through dashboards, plain English queries, proactive insights, audiences, and automated actions.
What Changes After Qtell
How venue operations look different once your data is connected.

Ask Questions, Get Answers
Ask Q lets you query your Events500 data, and everything connected to it, in plain English. No exports, no spreadsheets, no waiting for someone to build a report. The same connected intelligence also powers proactive insights, customer audiences, forecasts, and automated actions.
Ask questions across every connected part of your business, not just one system.
The right customers, identified across every system
Build audiences from the complete customer picture, not from one system in isolation. Qtell resolves customer identity across bookings, marketing, finance, and conversations, so segments are built on who someone really is and what they really do across your business.

- Segment by lifetime value, event type, last booking, marketing engagement
- Push audiences to ad platforms and email tools automatically
- Audiences stay current as data flows in, no manual rebuilds
Re-engage past wedding clients, build lookalikes from your most profitable customers, or pull inactive high-value contacts into a win-back campaign.
Intelligence that comes to you
You shouldn't have to know what question to ask. Qtell continuously monitors your connected data and highlights opportunities, risks, unusual patterns, and actions worth taking.
Risk
Wedding enquiries converting below normal this month.
Opportunity
Underbooked dates emerging in Q4, with marketing tactics that filled similar gaps before.
Watch

Understand what's likely to happen next
Bookings tell you what already happened. Qtell forecasts what's coming using bookings, marketing, finance, and operational signals together, not a single source of data. Act with confidence: increase marketing, adjust pricing, or plan staffing before demand changes.
- Decide when to increase or pull back marketing spend
- Adjust pricing ahead of demand peaks and dips
- Plan staffing and capacity weeks in advance
- Confidence intervals on every prediction, updated as bookings arrive
Forecast demand, occupancy, and performance before it happens.

Your intelligence keeps working, without your team maintaining it

No data team required
We handle the data engineering, modelling, and analysis your team would otherwise need to hire for.
No integration maintenance
APIs change. We monitor, adapt, and fix before you notice anything broke.
No model maintenance
Predictive scoring and forecasting retrained on your data as outcomes feed back in.
No AI maintenance
As new AI capabilities emerge, Qtell evolves with them. Your team benefits without rebuilding workflows.
No platform maintenance
As your systems, processes, and data evolve, Qtell evolves with them. The platform grows with the business.
No technical ownership
Schema changes, edge cases, duplicate detection. The plumbing is ours, not yours.
Ready for the next generation of AI
AI tools will change. Your business understanding shouldn't. Whether you're using Copilot today, Claude tomorrow, or tools that haven't been released yet, Qtell ensures they all work from the same connected understanding of your business. The tools can change. The truth stays consistent.
Common Questions
We'll be in touch ahead of the July 2026 launch to walk through what an Events500 and Qtell setup would look like for your venue, what systems we'd connect alongside Events500, and what early access looks like. No commitment. The conversation is to scope, not sell.
Start with Events500. They manage the operational core of your venue: enquiries, proposals, contracts, payments, diary. Qtell sits alongside, adding intelligence once your operational data is flowing.
Single-site and multi-venue operators running events and hospitality on Events500. The partnership works particularly well for venues with long sales cycles, mixed event types, and meaningful marketing spend you want to tie back to booked revenue.
More history means sharper predictions, but Qtell starts adding value from day one. We use whatever's in your Events500 history (typically 12 months or more is enough to model conversion patterns) and the intelligence becomes more accurate as outcomes feed back in.
Yes. Cross-venue benchmarking is a core feature. You'll see which venues outperform on conversion, value per head, lead time, and other metrics, with the same definitions applied across every venue so comparisons are like-for-like.
Finance platforms, marketing platforms (paid ads, email, marketing automation), POS and operational systems, customer engagement tools. If it has an API or a data export, we can typically connect it. We'll scope what's needed during onboarding.
Once connected, Qtell continuously builds understanding across your business. Teams can ask questions, receive proactive insights, activate audiences, automate actions, and measure outcomes using the same connected foundation.
Yes. Qtell provides a governed understanding of your business that can be used by current and future AI tools. Whether you're using Ask Q, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, or other platforms, answers are based on the same connected data, definitions, and business logic.
We're launching the integration in July 2026. Register your interest now and we'll be in touch as soon as it's ready, with early access for operators who sign up ahead of launch.
No. Your team keeps managing bookings in Events500 exactly as they do today. Qtell connects via API and works in the background. Your team won't notice any difference except better intelligence flowing back to them.
We connect via a secure API and read enquiries, bookings, venues, and pipeline stages. We don't modify your Events500 data. We only read it and enrich it with additional intelligence.
We'll confirm timing during onboarding once the integration is live. Most managed Qtell setups are in the range of weeks rather than months, depending on the systems being connected and how much customisation is needed.
No. Qtell is a managed service. We handle the data engineering, pipeline maintenance, and technical complexity. You get the insights without needing to hire analysts or engineers.
Yes. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We follow enterprise-grade security practices and never share your data with third parties.
Absolutely. Qtell adds to Events500, it doesn't replace it. Use Events500 for managing bookings, and Qtell for cross-system intelligence, industry-specific metrics, and predictive forecasting.
Events500 remains your operational system and the customer relationship owner. Qtell sits alongside, adding intelligence. Your Events500 contact stays the first point of call for anything operational.
