Pholeo

$ onsite --every-phone --same-record

“Onsite, running around doing everything, taking the calls and fixing stuff, it’s Aaron and me.”

An association planner, on a demo

The binder is in everyone’s pocket now. Pholeo Onsite, on iOS and Android, puts the whole program on every phone on the team and updates it as the office changes it.

  1. ›There are times you get onsite and you’re like, okay, I didn’t update that there.
  2. ›I don’t always have it with me. I leave it somewhere, so I put my phone number on it in case somebody finds it.
  3. ›We call it our short book. A little reference guide for staff with phone numbers and who to contact.
Dawn on a show floor: a planner walks fast across an empty exhibit hall with a radio on her shoulder and a phone in hand while crew unload crates.

The desk and the floor, looking at the same thing

Every phone carries the program and hears about a change the moment it is made.

  1. 01

    The Onsite app

    iOS and Android, with the whole event on it.

    Every function, room, count, contact and attachment. Mark things complete, add a photo of the set, leave a comment the office sees immediately.

  2. 02

    Contacts and arrivals

    Who is here, who is late, who to call.

    The roster, arrivals and a chase list for the people who matter on show day, with the org chart for when someone new asks who is in charge of the loading dock.

  3. 03

    Live for everyone

    A change in one place is a change in every place.

    Pholeo broadcasts changes to every open screen. The desk and the floor are looking at the same thing.

  4. 04

    The short book, built in

    Phone numbers, owners and the day’s specs, already on the phone.

    The reference guide you used to print for staff is the roster and the functions they are assigned to. Nobody writes their number on a binder in case it gets lost.

A Spec Sync builds your first board from one real BEO or function sheet.

Case study · ASIS GSX

“It’s faster. It’s more accurate. And I don’t have to chase the details anymore.”

ASIS International moved GSX’s specs, budget and reconciliation into Pholeo, and ran the show onsite without binders for the first time in fifteen years.

FAQ

Questions planners ask about on-site team management.

Straight answers. If yours is not here, ask it on the Spec Sync.

What is Pholeo Onsite?

The mobile app, on iOS and Android, that puts the production board, each function’s details, the roster and attachments on a phone, updated as the office changes them.

Can temp staff use it?

Yes. Invite them for the event with a role that lets them see their functions and mark them complete, without access to the budget or settings.

Does it work when the hall has poor signal?

The app keeps what it has loaded and refreshes when the connection returns. For a venue with no coverage, print the day’s sheets from the live record that morning.

How do changes reach the floor?

A count, a time or a room changed at the desk is on every open phone within seconds. The office sees a completion, a photo or a comment from the floor the same way.

Where is the contact list?

Contacts, arrivals and a chase list are part of the event, with the org chart, on the phone and at the desk. The short book is already built.

Can we still print?

Any time, from the live record. Some teams keep one printed set for the person who wants paper; ASIS ran GSX without binders for the first time in fifteen years.
