Planning Pod Reviews

We are a food truck based caterer serving Wood Fired Pizza to events all over Western Washington; with our rapid growth, we needed to find a new way to organize our events. We have been able to DOUBLE our volume since starting this software back in March. We were able to have one person tend to all of the events on the docket, whereas in previous years, with this volume, it would not have been fathomable.

The software makes it easy to streamline our entire catering process. We can connect our entire team and the clients all on one platform. Our clients enjoy how we have utilized it to automate and streamline their individual experiences. Our drivers and team can view all the contacts and details needed for each event making their day-of procedures streamlined. We can keep track of our turnover rate on inquiries.

There is nothing that we have come across that we do not like about this product. It has been a game-changer for us.

When we started with Planning Pod, we were heavily using Quickbooks for all billing. They did not have an integration feature at the time, but they have since added this, which is amazing!

Planning Pod has been a great time saver for us. The contracting and billing capabilities have given us a more professional way to handle these parts of the booking with our clients and eliminated a lot of manual record keeping.

Planning Pod is an easy tool to use, but as with all new systems, there is a learning curve. After a year, we continue to find new ways to work within the tool.

It provides a way to set up To-Do list reminders that keep us on track and help us manage the steps along the cycle of each event from lead generation through to the post-event survey. It also gives us real-time views into overdue payments so we can stay on top of the financials.

They are willing to adapt, add and change things within the platform from feedback. They strive to make sure we have every tool needed to be successful.

The original setup and training fell a bit short but they have always been there when we needed them for anything.

Lead management, calendar management, automated payments and communications. Multiple and manipulatable event orders. Multiple tears of users from owner to set up staff for over communication.

I like having a reliable, user-friendly booking software that can be used by multiple team members. From the invoices/proposals to floor plans and communications feature- there are so many different ways our team relies on Planning Pod to organize our events. Making sure we get paid and have contracts signed is the most critical part of our operation and PP streamlines this process for our customers.

I wish we would've found it sooner! It really is a huge undertaking to have to transfer all your files to a new program. We have done this 3 times and it took several weeks. Looking back, making the switch to Planning Pod was the best decision our company has made.

Our company had a problem of having information and data on our customers in several different locations. Planning Pod streamlines all our documents, notes, floor plans, timelines, proposals, signed contracts, rental inventory, and invoices into one place. WE have hard copy files and Planning Pod files, and that is it. We do also use dropbox but other than that, Planning Pod eliminated several other programs we were using. We used a floor plan program, timeline software and a workflow/lead organizer. All have been eliminated once we implemented Planning Pod.

Every data resource needed to plan a wedding or event is at your fingertips within the planning pod system.

I have had mixed success with the banking aspects as I miss the option to choose how credit is processed. Additionally, I would like a more developed website application.

Planning pod connects teams and clients. It has one place for all information.

I like having one tool to replace several different programs used to achieve the same goal.

So far there is honestly nothing that I can say I dislike. Improvements and new features are constantly added to make the program more user friendly.

Planning Pod has given me a single tool to management my events. It has helped me streamline my own process as well as given my coworkers an easy way to see events at a glance. The itinerary and floorplan tools are shared with other departments both within and outside my organization.
