Frequently Asked Questions

How do we track time for events that require extensive on-site coordination?

Use mobile apps to track time during site visits and event execution, with the ability to log time even when moving between locations. Event execution time can be tracked separately from planning work, and the system allows you to see time spent on setup, actual event coordination, and breakdown. Many event planning agencies bill on-site time at different rates than planning time.

Can we track time separately for event planning vs vendor coordination vs execution?

Yes, you can create separate time categories for planning work, vendor coordination, site visits, and event execution. Each phase has different time requirements and may be billed at different rates. Tracking this time separately helps you understand the true cost of event planning services and price them accurately.

How do we handle time tracking for events that span multiple days?

Create event-based time entries that can span multiple days, with the ability to track time for each day separately. The system aggregates all time spent on an event, including planning, coordination, and execution time, ensuring all event planning hours are captured and billed correctly, even for multi-day events.

What about tracking time for vendor meetings and venue tours?

Track all vendor and venue-related time separately from client meetings. This includes time spent meeting with vendors, touring venues, and coordinating with suppliers. The system allows you to see time spent on vendor coordination, helping you understand the true cost of comprehensive event planning and price your services accordingly.
