Event cases

Every booked event gets its own case, with everything the day needs in one place.

The case holds where the event stands in the pipeline, the dates, setup and breakdown times, the guest count and a requirements sheet: furniture, AV, lighting, food and drink, decor, entertainment, the loading dock, parking and coat check. Everyone who works on the event works from the same case.

The same cases as a list

Filter and sort every case by stage, date and value without the board.

Pipeline and tasks

Cases move between stages, and every case carries its own task list.

Staff drag a case from one stage to the next on the board, or work from the leads list. Each case has its own checklist. One screen shows the overdue tasks across every case, and reminders go out so nothing waits until the day of the event.

Everything booked, on a calendar

All spaces on one calendar, so a second event is never sold into a booked day.

Proposals and documents

A proposal is sent, revised, accepted and turned into the invoice.

Staff draft a proposal on the case and send it to the client, who accepts or declines it. An accepted proposal becomes the invoice. The contract, house rules and liability waiver are made from the case and emailed to the client, and the deposit is tracked on its own.

The latest proposal on a case.

Every revision is kept. The client accepts or declines from the client portal, and staff turn the accepted version into the invoice.

  • Contract, house rules and liability waiver made from the case
  • Deposit amount and paid date tracked apart from the invoice
  • Create, send and mark an invoice paid from the billing tab

Client portal

The client gets a portal from a link, with no account to create.

One private link opens the client’s own view of their event: documents and proposals to download, the task list, requirements they can update themselves, a feedback form, and accept or decline on a proposal. Staff can issue a fresh link at any time.

Community events

Community events take registrations, run a waitlist and check people in at the door.

An event can be public or members-only, with a capacity and a registration window. When it fills up, the waitlist queues people in order and emails them when a place opens. Reminders go out the day before and two hours before, and at the door staff scan a ticket or search the list.

Voucher codes

Create and switch off codes per event; the guest sees the discount before registering.

Venue catalogue

Your venues are a public catalogue, and an inquiry from it lands in the pipeline.

Each event space has its own public page with a gallery, amenities, setup types with their capacities, past clients and reviews. Visitors filter venues by capacity, amenity and setup. An inquiry from the page lands in the pipeline with a conversion likelihood based on past inquiries.

Each inquiry gets a conversion likelihood

Every inquiry shows how likely it is to turn into a booking.

Where it shows up

The same event, for staff, the client and the public.

The case in the backoffice, the client portal and the venue page a visitor browses all show the same event. A change on one side shows up everywhere.

The portal assistant

The client asks the portal what is still missing, and it answers from the case.

Inside the client portal, an assistant that knows only that one event answers questions about it, what is still missing and how to pay, updates the requirements and passes a message to the coordinator. Every conversation is saved on the case, so staff see what was asked.

“Is there anything you still need from us?”

tersAI — Two things: the final guest count and your AV list. The deposit is paid and the loading dock is reserved for 08:00.

“The guest count is 48.”

tersAI — Updated to 48 guests. Your coordinator will see the change on the case.
