Planellio helps light up letter businesses manage individual letter stock, phrase availability, LOVE packages, custom wording, pricing, reservations, bookings and delivery from one connected workflow.

Letter hire availability is not the same as normal inventory
Light up letters create a stock problem that ordinary inventory systems often miss. A customer may ask for LOVE, initials, a surname, a company name or a custom phrase, and each booking may need repeated letters from the same pool of stock.
Planellio is built to handle that phrase-based availability problem. Instead of only counting one product, the system can treat each letter or token as part of the booking decision, helping reduce double bookings and manual stock checks.
Planellio supports
- Phrase-based letter availability
- Individual letter stock quantities
- Repeated letter counting for custom phrases
- LOVE letters, initials and wedding wording
- Fixed or per-letter pricing models
- Package linking, reservations and delivery workflow
Phrase inventory
Resolve availability from the phrase, not just the product name
The real challenge in light up letter hire is knowing whether a phrase can be fulfilled on a specific date. That means checking every letter required, including repeated characters, against what is already reserved.
Planellio helps businesses move away from manual checking and towards a clearer phrase-based workflow that better reflects how letter hire actually works.
Phrase logic covers
- Custom phrases and names
- Repeated letters
- Token quantities
- Date-based reservation context
Packages
Manage LOVE letters, initials and wedding packages alongside custom wording
Many letter hire businesses sell a mix of standard packages and custom phrases. LOVE letters, initials and wedding words may need fast quoting, while custom wording needs more careful availability checks.
Planellio lets those package and phrase workflows sit closer together so the business can present options clearly without losing operational control.
Useful package workflows
- LOVE letter packages
- Wedding initials
- Custom surname and phrase bookings
- Package links to booking records
Pricing and booking
Keep pricing, booking and reservations connected
Letter hire pricing can be fixed for common packages or calculated by phrase length. The important part is that pricing should stay connected to availability and the booking record.
Planellio supports that joined-up approach so customers can choose more confidently and the team can see what has been reserved.
Connected sales flow
- Fixed package pricing
- Per-letter pricing options
- Reservation-aware booking workflow
- Contracts, payments and client portal context
Operations
Carry letter detail through to delivery and event-day preparation
Once the booking is confirmed, the phrase still matters operationally. The team needs to know what letters are required, what package was sold, where the setup is going and what delivery notes apply.
Planellio keeps that information closer to the wider event workflow so letter bookings are easier to prepare and less dependent on memory.
Operational detail
- Letter and phrase requirements
- Booking and venue notes
- Delivery planning context
- Staff and job sheet handovers
Specialist letter inventory evidence
Check a phrase against individual character stock
The controlled light-up-letter workflow can track the characters needed by fixed, guided or custom phrases. It checks repeated letters and symbols against recorded stock and bookings on the selected date.
If the business owns three letter A units and one booking requires two, only one A remains for another booking on the same date. This is different from treating each phrase as a completely independent inventory item.
Phrase and package choices
Standard products can sit alongside more flexible customer wording.
- LOVE and fixed phrases
- Initials and guided phrases
- Custom names and wording
- Supported fixed or per-character pricing
Connected event workflow
The phrase selection remains part of the wider customer and delivery record.
- Packages, extras and booking
- Contracts, payments and Client Portal
- Staff and venue information
- Job-sheet and delivery handover
