Commencement, ball and mass run like projects: schedule, staff, cost and entry control

A graduation event has a venue, date, capacity, suppliers, scheduled staff, guest list, entry control and cost. Without a system, it all becomes a WhatsApp group and one spreadsheet per event. Here every event is a project with a schedule, staff scheduling, a tracked budget and access control on the day.

The problem and the fix

The problems Events solves every day

If any of these situations sounds familiar, it is because they happen in almost every graduation company, until the right system comes in.

The problem

The event cost only shows up on the invoice weeks later, when it's too late to react.

With Partiu Formatura

Budget per event with planned and actual cost side by side, fed by purchases and accounts payable in the same system.

The problem

Event staff are scheduled over text messages, and someone is always missing on the day.

With Partiu Formatura

Scheduling with invitations, confirmation, on-site check-in and automatic replacement of anyone who declines or doesn't confirm.

The problem

The entrance works from a printed list and the line at the ball grinds to a halt.

With Partiu Formatura

Access control with ticket scanning and facial identification, validating in seconds and logging each entry.

The problem

A supplier confirmed by phone, with no contract or deadline, disappears the day before.

With Partiu Formatura

Event suppliers come from the procurement records, with purchase order, contract and deadline on file.

The problem

A date or venue change doesn't reach everyone in time.

With Partiu Formatura

Changing the event updates the schedule in the app, sends a targeted notice and rebuilds the staff schedule.

In practice

Real examples of Events working for you

Everyday situations at graduation companies, from the problem to the result, using the modules on this page.

01

A ball with 900 people and a line that kept moving

The scenario

The entrance to the biggest ball of the year used to stall with manual checks against a printed list.

With the system

Tickets were validated by scanning at the entrance, with facial identification for those who opted in, and every entry was logged at the gate.

The result

The line moved without checking names on paper, and the organizers knew in real time how many people were already inside.

02

Catering cost under control before the party

The scenario

Catering used to come in over budget, and the company only found out during reconciliation.

With the system

The event budget started receiving purchase orders and accounts payable, with an alert when actual spend exceeded the plan.

The result

The overrun showed up while contracts were still being signed, and the deal was renegotiated before it became a loss.

03

A full team at commencement

The scenario

Staff went missing on the day because of scheduling miscommunication.

With the system

Scheduling gained invitations with deadlines, mandatory confirmation, a replacement queue and on-site check-in through the app.

The result

No-shows dropped because replacements were triggered days in advance, not the morning of the event.
