What it is
Planellio is web-based event business management software connecting bookings, CRM, clients, staff, assets, finance, and operations. It serves DJs, photo booth businesses, event hire teams, wedding suppliers, venue-led businesses, and multi-user event operations. Teams can track enquiries, leads, quotes, proposals, contracts, and client records, while self-service bookings show live availability and pricing. A branded client portal supports planning tasks, payments, questionnaires, music requests, and photo booth selections. Venue calendars, space booking, staff scheduling, and event-day tools are included. Professional and Business plans add staff portals, assignments, timesheets, and invoice workflows. Integrations include Stripe, Square, PayPal, GoCardless, Xero, QuickBooks, Zoom, Twilio, WhatsApp, Microsoft, Google, and TemplatesBooth. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial, then monthly billing begins unless cancelled.
