Venue and event management software for event and wedding venues, conference centres, hotels, restaurants, universities and event planning firms, with floor plans and seating charts built into the booking record. Planning Pod says it has been operating since 2014 as a bootstrapped company.
What it is for
Managing a venue's bookings and the events themselves in one system: lead capture and proposals, contracts and payments, banquet event orders, and to-scale floor plans for the setup crew.
Documented capabilities
- A booking calendar, banquet event orders, food and beverage tools, tour scheduling and equipment management.
- Lead capture forms, pipeline automation, proposals, contracts with e-signatures, integrated payments, invoices with instalments and embedded event insurance.
- Floor plans and seating charts with drag-and-drop elements and automated grids for table blocks, chair rows and trade-show booths, built on uploaded room outlines and reusable templates.
- Seating guests by name with meal choices, RSVP status and VIP flags, and check-in from several devices on the day.
- Real-time collaboration on layouts with staff, vendors and clients by link, branded client portals and full-colour PDF layouts.
- Registration and ticketing, attendee and vendor management, timelines, tasks and checklists.
