Eight venues, one calendar
Each venue had its own Excel file: to know whether a given room at a given venue was free, you had to ask or find the right file. The whole team now has the answer in front of them, in a single calendar connected to the CRM.
The calendar of the eight venues, one row per room. What is free shows at once, and options stay dotted.
A tool the whole team uses every day
Why no off-the-shelf tool fitted
Several venues, several rooms in each, and events that are sometimes on option, sometimes confirmed. A Google-style calendar cannot show that. Specialised software, for its part, charges a licence per venue: for eight venues, the bill got very heavy.
The whole month, across the eight venues
At a glance, what is booked at each venue this month and next. One colour per venue, options dotted: you see right away where there is still room.
The details come from the CRM
You place a booking and link it to the CRM opportunity: client, contact, headcount and event type arrive on their own from Zoho. The status follows the quote: the booking moves from option to confirmed as soon as the quote is accepted.
Drag and drop to change room or time
In the planning view, you drag a booking from one room to another and stretch it to make it longer. The change reaches Notion within the minute, and the whole team sees it.
« To photograph »
An event deserves photos? Tick a box: the communications team gets an email that opens the booking directly, and a filter shows only the events to photograph. A small request from the team, handled quickly because the app is custom-built.
