“Can a mobile-first, GST-compliant vertical SaaS become the operating system for India's fragmented banquet and event-venue industry?”
NextEvent is a vertical SaaS product operated by Canaco Technologies LLP, targeting Indian banquet halls, function halls, convention centers, wedding lawns, and event venues. It provides booking management, enquiry/lead CRM, GST invoicing, payment tracking, WhatsApp automation, and AI-powered follow-ups. Backed by IIT Madras. Payment functionality appears limited to tracking advances and dues rather than acting as a payment processor.
NextEvent moves money over UPI.
NextEvent is headquartered in India.
