What Planellio is
Planellio is event business management software that brings bookings, client records, staff, assets, finance and operations into one web-based service. Teams can track enquiries and leads, prepare quotes, proposals and contracts, and manage client records. Self-service bookings can show live availability and pricing. A branded client portal gives clients access to planning tasks, payments, questionnaires, music requests and photo booth selections. Venue calendar, space booking, staff scheduling and event-day tools are also listed.
Professional and Business plans include a staff portal, job assignments, timesheets and staff invoice workflows. Planellio connects with services including Stripe, Square, PayPal, Xero, QuickBooks, Zoom, WhatsApp, Microsoft and Google. Business adds a read-only bookings API; Zapier-compatible polling is also listed. Pricing starts at £29/month, and each plan begins with a 30-day free trial. The monthly subscription starts automatically after the trial unless cancelled beforehand. Planellio is web-only, with responsive desktop, tablet and mobile views; a native mobile app is not required for the client journey.
