Events and Creative Services
Software for Event Planning and Management
Date-anchored project work with vendor coordination, advances and a delivery that cannot slip.
Events have one immovable characteristic: the date. Everything else — vendors, materials, staff — must converge on it. Quotations are built from many vendor components, advances are taken and paid out, and profitability depends on controlling costs that are agreed verbally under time pressure.
What gets in the way
- The event date cannot slip, so every dependency must be tracked to it
- Quotations combine many vendor components that change
- Vendor advances and settlements are agreed verbally
- Client changes close to the date are absorbed rather than charged
- Event profitability is only calculated afterwards, if at all
What the software handles
- Event quotation built from vendor and service components
- Vendor work orders with advances against the event
- Task checklist counting down to the event date
- Client change requests re-quoted before acceptance
- Event-wise costing against the quoted value
What changes
- Every dependency visible against the countdown
- Late changes charged rather than absorbed
- Event profitability known immediately after delivery
