Why this matters for growing event businesses

The more bookings a business handles, the more damaging fragmented workflow becomes. That is why stronger systems are usually needed long before the team feels fully ready to change.

Planellio is designed to reduce that friction by keeping client records, booking stages and operational tasks closer together.

Planellio helps with

  • Clearer visibility of active work
  • Less repeated manual administration
  • A stronger client journey
  • More reliable team workflow

The real issue

Most businesses outgrow fragmented tools before they realise it

What feels manageable at lower volume often becomes messy once more bookings, more payments or more operational steps are involved.

A joined-up system creates more confidence because the business can see what is happening and what still needs doing.

Typical signs

  • Information spread across several systems
  • Repeated chasing for the same detail
  • Weak visibility after the booking is confirmed
  • Manual tasks depending on memory

Finance and reporting evidence

See the reports and accounting connections that are actually available

Planellio provides a defined administration report catalogue. Exports and reports reflect the information recorded in Planellio and do not replace reconciliation, statutory accounts, tax returns or professional advice.

Eligible plans include Xero and QuickBooks OAuth connections. Supported accounting workflows can sync contacts and invoices, with full-transaction mode also covering payments, refunds and paid partner payouts. Each requires a separate third-party account, authorisation and appropriate account mappings.

Revenue and payment reporting

Future-event income and unpaid customer obligations can be reviewed separately from current cash activity.

  • Revenue dashboard and income summary
  • Deferred revenue and outstanding balances
  • Payment history and payment-method breakdown
  • Client revenue and lead-source breakdown

Operational and year-end reports

Finance reporting remains connected to assets, staffing and the events producing the revenue. The profitability report is operational: current profit is booking revenue minus actual saved staff costs, while forecast profit also deducts estimated staff costs still to allocate. It does not fully include supplier costs, depreciation, travel expenditure, general expenses, refunds, write-offs, tax liabilities, payroll, complete direct-cost allocation or accounting-ledger reconciliation.

  • Asset register, current stock and all-plan Asset Inspection & PAT report
  • Mileage by booking and total mileage for a selected date range on every plan
  • Staff allocation and operational profitability
  • VAT or sales tax, general-ledger export and year-end summary
  • CSV, Excel and PDF formats where the report and user export permission allow

Payments and integrations

Gateway availability depends on plan, country, provider account and configuration. Accounting mode safeguards help avoid exporting the same settlement both through Planellio and an accounting bank feed.

  • Stripe, Square and PayPal checkout
  • GoCardless hosted Direct Debit authorisation and confirmed-payment updates
  • Deposits, part payments, balances, manual payments and supported refund tracking
  • Eligible security-deposit preauthorisation
  • Xero and QuickBooks OAuth with invoice-only or full-transaction modes
  • Supported contact, invoice, payment, refund and paid partner-payout sync
  • Zapier-compatible read-only bookings API, Zoom consultations and optional Twilio SMS
