Cost each event line by line and track vendor advances to the final bill.
An event is planned in weeks and paid for over months. Sound and truss vendors take advances early, the client’s cheque clears late, and margin shows only when the last bill lands. The event software quotes on head count, follows each advance to settlement, and keeps every quotation version as the client swaps the theme or adds guests. Billed and spent sit on one page.
Advances for the stage and the marquee leave your account first. The client’s cheque clears weeks later, and the profit is clear only when the last vendor bill arrives, often after the crew has gone home.
Costing and vendor tracking are the useful parts here, since the run sheet is a WhatsApp problem and the margin is not. A single finished event, with its quotes and vendor bills, is the place to begin.
A corporate client asks for an offsite, a dealer meet or an annual day, and wants a number quickly. You send a proposal with a cost sheet for venue, stage, LED wall, line array sound, truss lighting, floral décor, per-plate catering, artists and airport transfers. Rates move as the head count and theme change.
Vendors are booked with advances by bank transfer, and confirmations sit in WhatsApp. On the day the crew works from a run sheet from load-in to wrap, and changes are passed on by phone. Afterwards the vendors send final bills. The client disputes a few extras against the purchase order. Accounts reconcile weeks later in the ledger.

Does it connect with our ledger software?
Not built in. Vendor payments and client invoices are recorded here against each event. An export file for your accounts system is an add-on, scoped at set-up with its own price.
Is a Google Sheet enough?
For a few events a month, a well-built sheet works. When events overlap and vendors are shared, one record per event is easier to reconcile.
Does it sell passes and run online registration?
No. Public ticketing is a different kind of software, and a ticketing tool does that better. Head counts and guest lists stay here, because the quotation is built on them.
Can the team update the run of show?
Yes. It opens in the browser on each phone. A change to a timing or a contact shows for everyone.
What sets the cost for an event company?
Planners, crew coordinators and accounts users set the base. Costing sheets, vendor advances, quotation versions, run of show, crew deployment and settlement are modules priced apart. A ledger link adds more. Past costing sheets to import count too.
What should an event company have ready to start?
Keep a recent costing sheet, a vendor list with advances paid, two quotation versions for one client, a run sheet and the settlement file. A producer and an accounts lead should check screens.
Can the company keep its event files if it leaves?
Yes. Costings, vendor payments, run sheets and settlements, together with the software, belong to the company. Ordinary spreadsheets carry them out on request. Its developers continue to support it. Hosting is at GullySystem, with another home available if you want one.
What happens after I share my requirements?
An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How much will the software cost?
We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
