After lessons from its web-app V1, PlanOut shifts to mobile with a sharper focus on payments, check-in, and on-ground coordination.
Dumaguete City, Philippines — After operating its first version as a web platform across outdoor events in the Philippines, PlanOut V2 | Plan. Organize. Experience. is unveiling a major evolution: a mobile-first event-technology solution designed to eliminate operational breakdowns that consistently challenge event and activity organizers,, clubs, schools, and LGUs.
Initially tested as a web-based tool, PlanOut V1 helped organizers manage registration and event data. But after deployments across community runs, cycling events, university sports programs, and LGU-supported tourism races, Founder Kim Llena identified a common pattern nationwide: “Event chaos is not a lack-of-passion problem — it’s a lack-of-system problem.”
Built from Real-World Field Experience
PlanOut V1 exposed recurring weak points even among capable organizing committees:
- Payments scattered across multiple e-wallets
- Unverified or missing proof-of-payment
- Long, manual check-in queues
- Incorrect athlete category placements
- Marshals without unified instructions
- Untracked shirts, merch, and race and event kits
PlanOut V2 | Plan. Organize. Experience. is engineered to eliminate these gaps through:
- Centralized payment verification
- Automated onsite participant check-in
- Category and bib assignment logic
- Team and marshal alignment
- Merch and logistics tracking
Llena describes V2 as a purpose-built system shaped by every bug, bottleneck, and breakdown encountered during V1 deployments across the Philippines.
Launching in VisMin First While Opening Access Nationwide
PlanOut’s rollout activities will begin in the Visayas-Mindanao corridor, particularly Dumaguete City and surrounding outdoor event hubs. However, the platform is designed for organizers nationwide — including Luzon-based commercial outdoor event operators, schools, marathon series, and corporate-sponsored events.
“VisMin was our testing ground — but V2 is a national-scale solution,” Llena shared. “Any organizer, from Manila to Cebu to Davao, is welcome.”
The VisMin-first approach reflects:
- Depth of V1 testing in the region
- Strong adoption from LGUs and clubs
- A fast-growing community event and outdoor activity economy in the South
From there, national expansion is built into the 2026 roadmap.
