For exhibition and display builders

Every panel of the stand, on one job.

Back walls, counters, lightboxes and floor graphics, each with its size, material, artwork and status, and every email about the stand filed with it.

A job's items in Plana, grouped, with status, material, processes and sizes on each line

Sound familiar?

  • The organiser's deadlines, the client's artwork and your build list live in three places.
  • A late change to the back wall doesn't reach the printer.
  • You quote from last year's stand and hope the costs still hold.

The stand, item by item

Group a stand's items by area and see each one's material, size, processes and status.

Every email filed against the stand

Plana reads your inbox and puts each email on the job it's about, so the organiser's manual and the client's changes are where the team looks.

Plana's inbox: customer emails, each filed against the job it's about

Proofs approved in one link

Your client approves each graphic, or asks for changes, from one link, with their name on every answer.

Your invoices go into Xero

Progress claims and the final invoice go into Xero as you issue them, and payments marked in Xero show on the job. Arrived purchase orders can go in as draft bills.

Questions

Can we reuse a stand we've built before?
Yes. Save a job as a template, or keep your standard items as products, and start the next one from it.
Does it replace our email?
No. It reads your mailbox and files each email on its job. You keep writing email the way you do now.
