Staff scheduling software
Planellio helps event businesses manage staff rostering, contractor scheduling, availability, job assignments, standby bookings and event-day handovers from one connected platform.
Staff rostering software becomes essential as soon as an event business uses more than one person to deliver jobs. Contractor scheduling software matters because availability, role clarity and operational handover all affect client experience directly. Planellio helps teams manage those moving parts more cleanly.
Availability visibility helps prevent problems before they happen. Job assignments make handover easier. Standby bookings support contingency planning. Together, these features help event businesses move from ad hoc coordination toward a more reliable scheduling model.
Rostering evidence
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.
Service-linked demand feeds the staffing workflow instead of relying on a generic note saying that staff are needed.
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.
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.
Recorded roster changes can drive automations with operational context; simply viewing or filtering the roster does not create false change events.
