Xlt Management Services

What Xlt Management Services does

XLT Management Services, Inc. is a Scottsdale, Arizona-headquartered (operating from 6929 E Greenway Parkway, Suite 100) private staffing and managed-services firm that acts as Employer of Record for live event production labor, handling onboarding, E-Verify verification, weekly payroll, workers' compensation, multi-state compliance, and incident reporting on behalf of clients. Founded in 2017 as a member of the Program Productions family of companies, the firm serves remote television productions, sporting events, trade shows, corporate and private functions, and municipal events across all 50 US states and Puerto Rico, with 11-50 employees.

The company's product surface is centered on ProCrewz®, a proprietary cloud-based labor management platform with a companion mobile app that uses geofencing for location-verified punch in/out, real-time event-wide communication, hour tracking, scheduling, and customized labor and financial data reporting. ProCrewz® is paired with an on-staff Corporate Legal Counsel providing ACA compliance, workers' compensation guidance, custom employee handbooks, and job-specific memos. The underlying payroll processing is executed through the Paylocity platform, while XLT retains the client-facing managed-service layer.

XLT monetizes through managed-service fees for Employer of Record and payroll administration plus subscription/recurring access to the ProCrewz® platform, with all pricing quote-based and tailored to client workforce size and scope. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account managers, supplemented by referrals from sibling companies (Rhino Staging, Barney & Monk, P&E Services Group) and direct email outreach via function-specific addresses (info@, payroll@, onboard@, hr@, [email protected]). The company works in collaboration with P&E Services Group and lists Program Productions, Inc. as its strategic operating parent.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Gusto: Gusto is a leading US-focused payroll, benefits, and HR platform serving small and mid-sized businesses. While not specialized in live events, it competes for the same payroll/EOR client wallet with a more generalist, SMB-focused approach.
• Rippling: Rippling is a unified workforce management platform combining HR, payroll, IT, and spend management. It serves a wide range of companies with payroll and time-tracking capabilities, overlapping with XLT's ProCrewz platform features but as a horizontal solution.
• Deel: Deel is a leading global EOR and payroll platform that handles onboarding, payroll, compliance, and benefits for distributed workforces. While not specialized in live events, it competes for the same EOR/payroll wallet share and represents the most aggressive generalist threat to XLT's positioning.
• Remote: Remote is a major global EOR and HR platform providing payroll, benefits, and compliance across 80+ countries. It competes with XLT for clients seeking Employer of Record services and represents the broader EOR category that XLT's vertical specialization tries to differentiate against.
• ADP: ADP is one of the largest payroll, HR, and benefits outsourcing providers globally, with comprehensive workforce management capabilities. It competes broadly with XLT for clients seeking outsourced payroll and Employer of Record services, and has the resources to build vertical-specific solutions if it chose to target live events.

Direct peers

• GreenSlate: GreenSlate offers payroll and accounting services tailored to the entertainment industry, serving production companies, studios, and content creators with crew payroll, union compliance, and tax credit management — directly comparable to XLT's entertainment vertical focus.
• Wrapbook: Wrapbook provides production payroll, workers' compensation, and accounting software built specifically for film, TV, and commercial productions. Like XLT, it combines vertical-specialized technology with managed payroll services for project-based entertainment workforces, including geolocation and time tracking features.
• Entertainment Partners (Cast & Crew): Entertainment Partners (now operating as Cast & Crew following merger) is the dominant payroll and production management provider for the entertainment industry. They serve film, TV, and live productions with crew payroll, residuals, and production accounting — the closest direct competitor to XLT in terms of vertical specialization around event/entertainment workforce management.

Emerging players

• Workrise: Workrise (formerly RigUp) provides workforce management, payroll, and compliance solutions for the energy industry. It is a relevant comparable because, like XLT, it built a vertical-specialized workforce platform with EOR-adjacent capabilities for a project-based industry with complex compliance needs.

Others

• Paylocity: Paylocity is the underlying payroll platform XLT uses for employee self-service, paystubs, and tax documents. While not a direct competitor, it is a key infrastructure provider whose product direction, pricing, or service quality directly affects XLT's ability to deliver its managed service promise.
