Event Staff Scheduling Software For Teams And Contractors

Planellio helps event businesses manage staff rostering, contractor scheduling, availability, job assignments, standby bookings and event-day handovers from one connected platform.

Planellio staff scheduling and rostering software

Scheduling matters when bookings become delivery work

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.

Scheduling features include

  • Staff availability
  • Job assignments
  • Contractor scheduling
  • Standby bookings
  • Rostering visibility
  • Operational handovers

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 and service categories
  • Required roles connected to services or assets
  • Vacant duties and roster calendar
  • Availability and unavailability checks

Assignments and delivery

Assignments connect a staff member to the booking, relevant service, working time, pay rule and operational information.

  • Booking and service assignments
  • Working times and supported rate rules
  • Function sheets, venue details and messages
  • Personal one-way iCal subscriptions and directions where enabled

Staff Portal and limits

Eligible plans provide portal, agreement, approved-timesheet and staff-invoice workflows. Planellio is not full payroll or HR compliance software.

  • Assigned jobs and calendar
  • Recurring availability and leave requests
  • Timesheet submission, breaks, approval and cost records
  • Staff invoices with duties, expenses, evidence and payment status
  • No live GPS, geofenced clock-in or full payroll
