Ans

Ans · the planning workspace

The whole celebration, in one quiet room.

Guests, budget, vendors, aso-ebi, shipments and the day itself, kept together and kept calm. Budgets in whichever currency your project uses.

The problem

Six spreadsheets, four WhatsApp groups, and a tracking number someone sent last Tuesday.

The Order of Play

Know what happens next, and who owns it.

Tasks with owners and due dates, tied to the events they belong to, with a calendar and a view of what is blocked and why.

  • Tasks, sub-tasks and dependencies, grouped by event
  • Owners, due dates and a clear "blocked on" reason
  • Every change recorded, so nothing is quietly lost

Vendors, procurement and aso-ebi, from order to doorstep.

  • Vendor directory, bookings and competing quotes side by side
  • Procurement orders, shipments and per-parcel tracking
  • Aso-ebi orders, deliveries and what each person owes

The Ledger

Budget and payments you can trust.

Planned against actual, every payment recorded once, and exact amounts, never rounded guesses. Each project uses the currency you choose, so nothing is assumed.

  • Planned, paid and outstanding per category
  • Payment records, receipts and who contributed what
  • Money hidden from the roles that should not see it

Present your credentials

Guests, RSVPs and the day itself.

From the guest list to the seating plan and the kitchen and bar on the day, one place holds all of it.

Guest list

RSVPs per event, plus-ones, sides and allocations, with duplicates caught before they spread.

Open in Ans

Event day

Tables, floor plans, venues and zones, with kitchen and bar views that update live.

Everyone sees what they should

Roles that respect the room.

The people helping you do not all need the whole picture. Ans decides what each role can see and change.

Owner

Everything, including settings and permanent deletions.

Planner

Plans and edits the day, vendors, tasks and guests.

Contractor

Sees the work and the schedule, never the money.

Viewer

Can look around. Cannot change anything.
