Events Are a Team Sport

Very few events are planned by a single person. Weddings have couples and families. Corporate events have committees. Birthday parties have co-hosts. Yet most planning tools are designed for solo use, forcing teams to coordinate through group chats, shared spreadsheets, and CC'd emails. PlanShire was built for teams from the ground up.

Role-Based Access Control

Not everyone needs the same level of access. PlanShire supports four roles: Owner (full control), Co-Host (can edit everything), Viewer (read-only access), and Vendor (limited access to relevant details). Invite collaborators by email and assign the appropriate role. Permissions are enforced at every level -- from the UI to the database queries.

Activity Tracking and Audit Trail

When multiple people are making changes, it's crucial to know who did what and when. PlanShire logs all significant actions with timestamps and user attribution. Changed the venue? Logged. Updated the budget? Logged. Added guests? Logged. The activity feed gives everyone visibility into what's changed since they last checked in.

Comments and Discussion

Instead of taking discussions to a separate chat app, use PlanShire's built-in comments. Leave notes on specific vendors, budget items, guests, or checklist tasks. Tag collaborators to draw their attention. Threaded comments keep conversations organized and contextual -- no more scrolling through a group chat to find that one message about the DJ.

Task Assignment

Break the work down and assign it. PlanShire's checklist items can be assigned to specific collaborators, so everyone knows their responsibilities. Filter by assignee to see your personal to-do list, or view the full checklist to track overall progress. The AI can even suggest task assignments based on co-host roles and availability.
