Cvent, a cloud-based event management platform, announced several updates to its mobile application OnArrival, designed to streamline the check-in process at meetings and events.

"OnArrival has proven to be very popular with our customers and by leveraging our mobile app they have collectively processed more than 850,000 event and session check-ins since August 2013," said Brian Ludwig, senior vice president of sales at Cvent, in a company announcement. "The ongoing mobile revolution allows us to deploy self-service yet sophisticated solutions that planners can easily manage with their own devices at the lowest cost possible. This is significantly changing the face of onsite attendee management."

• Check-in attendees quickly to events
• Register last minute walk-in attendees to events
• Collect payment by swiping a credit card
