Gallagher SmartPlan Course Designer Pro
Gallagher SmartPlan Course Designer Pro is the market-leading, best-in-class course mapping tool because it pairs CAD-style precision with advanced import/export, simulation and automation features that support large-scale event workflows. Compared with the federation-focused FEI pack and the grassroots-oriented Jump Canada kit, Gallagher’s enterprise licensing and workflow automation provide measurable long-term cost savings for professional planners and venues that require technical depth.
