With Planned, users are able to connect with the best vendors and clients in the event industry, making it an invaluable tool for sourcing and networking. The platform has been widely adopted across companies and is highly regarded as a preferred vendor for event planning.

In addition to its sourcing capabilities, Planned has facilitated successful connections between brands and virtual DJ services.

Furthermore, Planned has proven to be a valuable asset for a production studio, enabling them to offer custom media production services to corporate enterprise clientele. Users engage directly with the studio on the platform's messaging board, ensuring a seamless experience that enhances communication and collaboration.
While Planned generally offers great user experiences, some users have expressed a desire for more options to contact clients besides the chat feature. Enhancing communication channels could further improve user satisfaction and facilitate efficient coordination within the event planning process.
Easy-to-use Platform: Several users have found the platform easy to use for communication and booking events. It has made the process of interacting with potential clients and securing event bookings much simpler.

Planned is revolutionizing the event industry with its online marketplace and event software
Planned helps cut through the noise for companies and individuals searching for the best, most dynamic, and reliable event industry vendors while helping vendors reach the right target clients. We've had a great experience meeting brands in search of virtual DJ services.
- Hands-on oversight of execution of a virtual event and client success management
- Connecting event industry professionals with companies in need of their services
- Highlighting services that an event industry professional or company offers
- Making the platform/software more functional overall so the majority of negotiating/contracting/invoicing can easily happen all in one place.
- Drawing in more leads for vendors, or offering support to vendors to teach them how to attract more leads. We don't see much traffic to our listing at all.
- Making it simpler for companies to do business together internationally. We had some issues with fees getting eaten up from converting currencies and went back and forth for a while trying to figure out how we'd accept payment from a client.
- Streamlining communication overall and making it possible for multiple team members to get email notifications about communication happening on the platform.
- Advertising our services to relevant companies/brands on their online marketplace
- We were able to get repeat business from a new client brought to us by Planned
- We were able to learn more about what types of virtual event services we'd like to grow as a business, as a result of working with Planned
- We have not seen a financial ROI for our business yet because we have only worked with one client on the platform and it has been costly for us to accommodate this client

Planned is used across the whole company as our event planner and is a preferred vendor. Planned solves all sourcing issues and gets the best prices and value.
- Offers best suppliers
- One stop planner
- Quick and great service
- The platform can use some tweaking (i.e.: when reserving hotels, adding guest rooms, including meeting rooms - instead of just spaces, which can be confusing when searching).
- They are a preferred vendor.
- They have a large assortment to choose from.
- Positive impact as they save us LOTS of time.
