Could be good if they cared

I haven’t left a review like this in quite some time but if you are considering PlanningPod. Don’t. It’s clear that their team is more concerned with getting the sale than retaining the client. We have had constant issues where communications from one client will automatically get uploaded into another clients portal which is completely unprofessional and makes us a venue look awful. Having clients ask why another bride’s messages are showing in their portal is embarrassing. PP answer? It’s our fault. Constant timeout errors on the portal and being signed out at random times with no reasoning. PP answer? It’s your WiFi. Can’t create templates for proposals because I can’t add anything to categories. What’s PP answer? Nothing. Radio silence. For how much we are paying - I feel like they tied me up and sat me right on the train tracks. I’m literally losing money because I’m spending so much time trying to navigate the clunky UI, the terrible customer service and the lack of thought behind the product. We have been sitting as a team almost every single day complaining to each other about how much we hate PP. I have tried my best to like this program because it does have some redeeming qualities but the team behind it simply does not care about you. But they sure do care about getting your money. Fellow event managers and venue owners - if you want a program where you will spend countless hours slamming your head on your desk - this is the program for you. Think I’m crazy - look up PlanningPod on the wedding groups and you will also be met with the same concern I have about the lack of caring this team has for its customers. Now I’m sitting here holding back from frustration crying because now I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. Uplifting to another program during wedding season because the people I put money and my trust into have simply said, go pound salt. I just cannot stress to anyone who owns a business who needs to survive like the rest of us, think twice before giving them your money. They really screwed us on this one and I now I have to live with it. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Planning Pod: A Mix of Excellent and Room-for-Improvement Features

I appreciate Planning Pod for its assistance in budgeting and invoicing. It's simple to create an event budget and invoices for each event, and I appreciate its ability to store and manipulate contact information. However, I'm disappointed that I can't link invoices to the budget or store receipts in the budget due to the absence of an upload feature. I also wish I could add pages to the invoices for extra information. The vendor responded to my concerns, stating that their system isn't designed for comprehensive accounting, but they plan to integrate with Quickbooks and Xero in Q2 2018. They also plan to add the capability to attach images and documents to invoices.

Game Changer: Transforming Operations with Planning-Pod

Planning-Pod has been a transformative tool for me. Initially, I found the training sessions insufficient, but they were more than happy to provide extra learning time. They were very open to my feedback and made modifications to the platform based on my suggestions. They had no problems implementing things onto the platform, even changing code for something as simple as font sizes on event orders. They are a fantastic company to collaborate with and have contributed to my success. I especially value the automatic payment and communication features, as well as the integration with calendars and lead management. However, I believe the system's search function could be improved.
