The problem this solves

This is the kind of operational problem that basic booking systems often handle too lightly. Your team is not only looking for another feature; it is trying to avoid mistakes that cost time, money or customer confidence.

Planellio connects the specialist workflow to the rest of the event business, so the same record can support sales, availability, contracts, payments, staff handover and reporting.

Planellio supports

  • Staff login
  • Job assignment visibility
  • Availability context
  • Event-day handovers

Operational control

Prevent the mistakes that cause pressure later

For equipment-led and service-led event businesses, the risk is rarely just a missing field on a form. It is double booking stock, quoting the wrong size, forgetting a component, missing a payment step or sending staff out without the right context.

That is why these workflows need to live near booking, inventory, client communication and operations rather than in a separate spreadsheet.

What a stronger workflow improves

  • Fewer manual stock checks
  • Clearer pricing and package decisions
  • Better staff and delivery handovers
  • More confidence before the booking goes live

Platform fit

The specialist feature becomes more valuable because it is connected

A standalone calculator or stock list only solves one small part of the problem. Planellio is stronger because the specialist workflow can sit inside the same system as CRM, public booking, client portal, payments, staff jobs and reporting.

That makes the workflow useful for teams that need specialist stock control and broader event operations in one place.

Connected areas

  • Public booking journey and website widgets
  • Packages, assets and availability
  • Contracts, deposits and balances
  • Staff portal, job sheets and operations

Rostering evidence

Turn booking demand into visible staff duties

A confirmed booking is not necessarily operationally ready. Planellio can connect booked services and assets to required staff types, keep unfilled requirements visible as vacant duties and help coordinators assign suitable people before the event.

For a booking containing a DJ, photo booth and dancefloor, the operational requirement might include one DJ, one booth attendant and an installation crew. Each requirement can remain visible until the appropriate person has been assigned.

Requirements and roster

Service-linked demand feeds the staffing workflow instead of relying on a generic note saying that staff are needed.

  • Staff types, employment types and rate rules
  • Configurable skill groups, clusters and individual skills
  • Mandatory requirements and suitability warnings
  • Required roles connected to services or assets
  • Assigned, unassigned and manually added duties
  • Weekly drag-to-assign roster
  • Dated/recurring availability, notes and leave

Assignment, interest, standby and delivery

Assignments connect a staff member to the booking, relevant service, working time, pay rule and operational information. Direct assignment fills work; expressed interest requests an open duty without filling it; standby applies after a duty is already filled.

  • Direct assignment, expressed-interest and standby states
  • Assigned/unassigned, interest and standby administration
  • Working times and supported rate rules
  • Function sheets, venue details, messages and checkpoints
  • Skill-aware job board and permitted actions
  • Personal one-way iCal subscriptions and directions where enabled

Staff Portal and limits

Eligible plans provide portal, agreement, completed-duty, approved-timesheet and staff-invoice workflows. Planellio is not a statutory payroll engine and does not calculate or submit PAYE, National Insurance, pension or HMRC payroll returns.

  • Assigned jobs, job board and calendar
  • Recurring availability and leave requests
  • Timesheet modes, submission cut-offs and payday controls
  • Approval/rejection, manager notes and duty pay states
  • Staff invoices with duties, expenses, evidence and payment status
  • Operations history and export
  • No live GPS, geofenced clock-in or statutory payroll processing

Roster automation

Recorded roster changes can drive automations with operational context; simply viewing or filtering the roster does not create false change events.

  • Duty create/delete and staff assign/remove triggers
  • Time, note, pay and message-outcome triggers
  • Before/after snapshots and changed fields
  • Affected staff, role, employment and staffing-count conditions
  • Scheduling, target gating and deduplication controls
