Why This Blog Is a Must-Read (And Why It's Exploding Online)

If you’ve been searching for:

  • “event planning workflow”
  • “project management for events”
  • “CompanyCam alternatives for coordination”

— you’re in the right place.

This blog is going viral because it solves a major problem for teams using photo-first tools like CompanyCam: while great for visual documentation, they fail at real event management.

In today’s fast-paced world, event planning requires more than snapshots. You need:

  • ✅ Task tracking
  • ✅ Team collaboration
  • ✅ File sharing
  • ✅ Repeatable workflows

That’s why TaskTag’s Event Planning Workflow is catching fire. It transforms messy spreadsheets and scattered chats into a chat-powered command center for any event. For those tired of duct-taping apps together, this is your upgrade path.



CompanyCam vs TaskTag: When Photos Aren’t Enough for Event Success

CompanyCam is great for capturing event photos—but not for managing the actual event.

Here’s how TaskTag outperforms as a full event coordination platform:

Feature CompanyCam TaskTag
Photo & File Uploads ✅ Strong for images ✅ Supports all file types (floor plans, contracts, menus)
Task Checklists ❌ Limited ✅ Built-in with due dates
Group Chat Integration ❌ None ✅ Real-time chat with @mentions & #hashtags
Project Templates ❌ No ✅ Reusable for recurring events
Team Assignments ❌ Basic ✅ Advanced with roles & permissions
Report Export ❌ Manual ✅ One-click PDF recaps
Workflow Automation ❌ Photo-focused ✅ Full project management features

“We used CompanyCam for event photos, but planning was a mess of emails and Sheets. TaskTag gave us one hub for everything — tasks, files, and chat.”
Event Coordinator, Hospitality Firm

CompanyCam documents the event. TaskTag ensures it happens — on time, with zero chaos.


The Real Problem: Event Planning Chaos Beyond Photos

Even with great photos, event teams still face:

  • Scattered files (floor plans in Drive, contracts in email)
  • Forgotten tasks (who confirmed the caterer?)
  • Communication gaps (endless “Did you see that?” messages)
  • No repeatability (reinventing the wheel every time)

This leads to delays, rework, and stress.

That’s why teams searching for “event project management software” or “task tracking for hospitality” are switching to TaskTag—a true all-in-one solution.
