Vendor management CRM with contact details, contracts, ratings, and communication history per vendor. Online spreadsheet software for organizing data, building formulas, and collaborating on workbooks in real time.
If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone. Most event planning businesses deal with these every day.
Vendor coordination across 10-20 suppliers per event with different contracts, timelines, and contacts
Budget management where actual costs drift from estimates with no real-time visibility
Client approval workflows for venues, menus, decorations, and timelines that stall in email
Day-of logistics that rely on printed run sheets and walkie-talkies instead of digital coordination
Post-event follow-up that falls off because you are already deep into the next event
Every pain point above has a matching solution built into Deelo — no extra plugins, no extra cost.
