Stop chasing vendors and payments across five different tools
Belvak replaces the spreadsheets, proposal docs, and invoicing apps that event companies juggle. One platform for proposals, event projects, vendor tracking, and milestone billing.
The problem
Sound familiar?
Event management companies face unique operational challenges that generic project management tools were never designed to solve.
Cash flow gaps between deposits and collections
Vendor deposits are due at booking, but clients may have only paid 25-30%. Corporate clients pay 60-90 days post-event. On 10-20% margins, a single late-paying client triggers a domino effect across your vendor payments.
Scope creep eats 20% of event budgets
65% of event planners face budget overruns. 'Just add a photo booth' snowballs into thousands in uncompensated extras. Without itemized proposals tied to project budgets, there is no baseline to push back against.
Vendor management scattered everywhere
A mid-size event involves 8-15 vendors, each with different payment terms and deposit schedules. Contact info in your phone, costs in a spreadsheet, invoices in email. No centralized view of who has been paid and who has not.
Proposals that never connect to delivery
Proposals in Word, contracts in DocuSign, invoices in QuickBooks. Three disconnected steps with data re-entered at each stage. Once accepted, you rebuild everything in your project tracker from scratch.
The solution
One platform, every workflow
Purpose-built for event management companies that need proposals, projects, billing, and vendor tracking in a single system.
Proposals that convert into events
Draft event proposals with scope, deliverables, and pricing. When the client approves, convert the proposal into a live project with one click. Budget, timeline, and scope flow through automatically.

A day in the life
A day in the life of an event company on Belvak
From morning planning to end-of-day review, here is how your team uses a single platform to run the entire business.
Review upcoming event timelines
Open the dashboard to see all events by status. Check which ones are in planning, which are this week, and which need vendor confirmations.
Send a deposit invoice
A corporate client just confirmed their annual gala. Generate and send the 50% deposit invoice tied to the event project.
Create a proposal for a new inquiry
A company wants a product launch event. Draft a proposal with itemized services, venue options, and a payment schedule.
Track vendor payments
Check which vendors have been paid their deposits and which are still pending. Log a payment to the AV supplier.
Follow up on overdue client payments
Last month's conference client has not paid the final invoice. Check the payment history and send a follow-up.
Review event profitability
Compare vendor costs against client payments for completed events. See actual margins versus what was quoted in the proposal.
We used to lose track of what vendors had been paid versus what clients owed us. Everything was in spreadsheets and email. Belvak gave us one place to see every event, every invoice, and every payment. The proposal-to-project flow alone saved us hours of re-entering data every week.

Built for how event companies actually work
FAQ
Questions event companies ask
Can I take a deposit and then a final payment for an event?
Yes. Bill each event with a deposit invoice and a final invoice, and record partial payments against them as the money comes in. Each invoice's status updates automatically as payments are logged, so you always know how much of an event is still outstanding.
Can I track vendor and supplier costs per event?
Yes. Log purchases against each event and keep supplier records in one place, so you can see what you have spent with vendors on a given event. Comparing those costs to what the client has paid shows your real position on every booking.
How do proposals become booked events?
Draft a proposal with itemized scope, deliverables, and pricing, then convert it into a live event project with one click once the client approves. The budget, timeline, and scope carry over automatically, so nothing is re-entered when the event becomes real.
Can I see which events made money?
Yes. Because every event is a project with a contract value, and vendor costs and client payments are tracked against it, you can compare what came in with what went out on each event. That lets you see actual margins instead of guessing from the original quote.
Can I invoice clients in different currencies?
Yes. Belvak supports billing in 50-plus currencies, and each invoice keeps its own currency. That suits event companies handling corporate clients and vendors across different markets.
Is Belvak a fit for a small event company?
Belvak is built for service companies of 5 to 50 people, which covers most independent and mid-size event teams. It brings proposals, event projects, invoicing, and vendor cost tracking into a single platform instead of a stack of separate tools.
