Planned

Planned provides software for corporate meetings and events (M&E) programs, positioning itself as an "AI operating system for events" aimed at both procurement teams and event planners. The platform is organized around a three-step program model: establishing how a program should run by defining policies, approval flows and supplier standards; enforcing those rules automatically across users, teams and regions; and improving the program over time as data from each event feeds back into sourcing and cost outcomes.

The product is designed to execute workflows rather than only recommend actions. According to the company, its AI sources suppliers, negotiates, reads contracts, processes invoices and enforces internal policies, and completes multi-step tasks such as collecting quotes and updating rooming lists without being prompted. Planned also acts as a single vendor of record, routing every supplier, contract and payment through the platform so customers receive one invoice with consolidated spend visibility and no internal reconciliation. Human specialists supplement the software: a dedicated sourcing specialist owns negotiations, reviews AI outputs and handles complex cases such as VIP events or situations requiring direct supplier conversations.

Business model
