Scheduled SMS from WedPlan

Scheduled SMS from WedPlan

We are happy to announce Scheduled SMS feature in WedPlan for making your life even simpler.

You could always send SMS from WedPlan but the text messages went out the moment you would send them. So if you wanted to remind the guests in the morning of the event, you had to send the messages then only. But you can imagine how hectic things are on that day and it was a chore to have to sit down and send a SMS blast.

To make your life simpler, we now allow you to schedule your SMS in advance. You can select the guest list, specify the text message and the date & time when the SMSs have to go out.

Not only this, the recipient list is dynamic. If you add more people to the selected groups or modify some mobile numbers, up to date information will be used to send the messages at the scheduled time. This eliminates the faux pas that a fixed list might cause.

Remind your guests at the right time and make sure all of them attend your events!

Met Awesome Events People at EMF’s ACE 2014

ACE 2014 by EMF

I visited Event Management Federation’s (EMF) event and exhibition at Ahmedabad on 12th and 13th September 2014 to meet the wedding and event planners of Gujarat.

I met some fantastic people there, doing great work in events and weddings. While some people were thinking “Why bother with an online software when Excel does the work just fine”, several others appreciated how an online software with a team based approach will make the logistics management work extremely easy to handle.

Events are all about using the latest concepts, creatives and gadgets and a powerful data management software can bring incredible convenience to both the planners and the clients.

We are looking forward to doing business with several of them in the near future. If you are an EMF member, please refer this fact when you order your copy. We have a surprise discount for you 🙂

Why Did We Develop a Wedding Planning software?

Recently we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary (thanks for your kind wishes)  and while planning the arrangements, guest list, menus, gifts and all the other logistics issues, I extensively used Excel and paper diaries. Soon I got frustrated like crazy.

The data was all over the place and I had to personally update everything even though different people were looking at the various aspects of the planning and managing work. A horrifying thought came to my mind – how am I going to handle the management nightmare when my son will get married sometime in near future?

I asked around for a good software solution and found that there are no quality software available in the market. A few that were, catered to American style weddings and were all single computer based software resulting in me having to update all the records.

Wedding Planning Software

What does a software development company do in such situations? It starts looking at building a software to fill the gap. That’s exactly what we did. Of course, we talked around, did some surveys and tried to find out the pain points of other parents who are all facing similar challenges.

Introducing WedPlan, the wedding planning software that will make your life easier with integrated planning and managing facilities. You don’t need to download or install any software. Just sign-up and start using.

Add your family members, friends and relatives who will help you manage the show. Assign responsibilities to people and watch the updates happening in the various areas. Get a summary on a a single dashboard and drill down to any area for a detailed look.

Get more free time to enjoy the rituals with your family because the arrangements are proceeding smoothly. Check out the details of the user-friendly software.
