Partitioned spaces
DistinctiveBook grand ballrooms and divisible rooms as whole spaces, individual sections, or any valid combination. Physical constraints are enforced — sections 1 and 3 can't be booked together without section 2.
Velsa covers the full operational surface, from the first inquiry to closed books. Here's what's in the system today.
Manage prospects, hold space, write contracts, and collect deposits — without the spreadsheet and without the "wait, who's holding which room?" Slack message.
Book grand ballrooms and divisible rooms as whole spaces, individual sections, or any valid combination. Physical constraints are enforced — sections 1 and 3 can't be booked together without section 2.
Move bookings through inquiry → hold → tentative → definite as the relationship matures. Multiple soft holds can coexist on the same time; the space only locks when a contract is signed. Expired holds release overnight and the next prospect in line is promoted — and emailed — automatically.
Once an event is definite, its space is locked for that window — enforced in the database, not just the interface. Two coordinators racing to confirm the same contested slot can't both win; the second write is rejected.
Given dates, attendance, and preferences, get a ranked list of available spaces sorted by fit score. No more hunting across calendars or asking three colleagues which room is free.
Generate contracts from any booking, send for signature via DocuSign, and lock them on signing. Every subsequent change is a separate, separately-signed addendum — the original is never edited.
Break a booking's fee into any number of installments with their own due dates. The system auto-issues each invoice on its due date and chases past-due automatically.
Track prospects through six stages from new lead to closed contract. Probability-weighted forecasts give a realistic view of upcoming revenue without the optimism bias.
Coordinate the people, spaces, and equipment that turn a booking into an event that actually happens.
Every published run-of-show item across every venue, grouped by date and department. One screen tells the team what's happening in the next fourteen days. Filterable by venue and department.
Build a timed schedule for each event with department tags and assigned staff. The schedule pulls names from the booking's roster — so “who's actually here?” is never a day-of question.
Drag rounds, rectangles, and stages onto the canvas. The system knows about walls, doors, columns, and outlets and warns when a layout is over capacity. Auto-layout places tables given a headcount.
Track setup, teardown, repairs, and preventive maintenance against each venue. Recurring rules schedule the quarterly HVAC check and the weekly carpet cleaning without anyone remembering to.
One calendar across every venue you operate, filterable and zoomable. The bookings detail you need without leaving the page or opening four tabs.
A per-venue equipment catalog where completed work orders draw stock down and return it. Low-stock alerts fire before you run out, and printable count sheets back the annual audit.
Actual accounting, not just an invoice generator. Built for venues that have to answer to a board, a grants office, or a fiscal auditor.
Real fund accounting — General, Enterprise, Capital Projects, Grants — over a shared chart of accounts, each fund with its own ledger. Standard for government and non-profit venues, unusual for venue software.
One invoice model for booking deposits, balances, payment-schedule installments, exhibitor orders, and ad-hoc charges. Auto-issued on the right trigger, emailed to the right party.
Record manual payments (check, ACH, wire) or process cards online. Refund per-payment or void invoices entirely. Past-due invoices escalate automatically; no spreadsheet of aging buckets.
Set account-level budgets at the start of the fiscal year. The variance report tells you, by account and by fund, where you're running over and under — not the same answer.
Export journal activity on a fully configurable column layout — CSV or fixed-width — to match whatever your finance system expects, whether that's an ERP, Workday, or a Clerk of Court AR summary. Batched, acknowledged, and re-exportable — not a CSV dump your controller has to reshape.
Every financial transaction lives in an append-only journal with a source pointer back to the originating record. Nothing gets deleted; nothing gets quietly edited. Filterable by account, fund, date, or source.
Balance Sheet, Income Statement, and trial balance generated straight from the ledger — point-in-time and period-over-period, with a built-in balanced check. The statements a board or auditor asks for by name.
Fifteen-plus built-in reports — AR aging, sales pipeline, work-order status, attendance, room-nights and economic impact — plus a no-code ad-hoc builder for the ones you invent. Export to CSV, Excel, or PDF, or schedule any of them to email on a recurring cadence.
Cross-cutting capabilities that make the rest possible.
