Event Organization
Event Organization: appointments and service tracking, customers and CRM, e-Invoice and reporting.
Challenges
- The event budget is not tracked line by line, so profit is only known at the last minute.
- Supplier and venue contracts are scattered, so responsibility is unclear.
- Change requests (extra services) are executed without being added to the contract.
- The post-event final settlement is not compared with the quote.
Workflows
From quote to event
- The event project is opened with date, venue and attendee count.
- Budget lines (venue, catering, technical, staff) are planned.
- The approved quote becomes the project and supplier orders are placed.
Changes and final settlement
- An extra-service request is submitted for approval as a separate line.
- Actual costs are written to the project line by line.
- The final settlement is compared with the quote and the variance is reported.
