NEWS AND EVENTS

10,000 Bookable Spaces

When Bookable was released in 2018, we never realised the impact it would have in providing facility booking and event ticketing solutions to the Local Government market. In 4 short years we have reached a major milestone of now having over 10,000 bookable spaces managed within Bookable. From small regional to large metropolitan councils, from Western Australia, all the way across Australia and the Tasman to New Zealand, we see our customers using Bookable to manage online bookings and event ticketing for all types of venues, bookable items and council-run events and courses.

When we first started, we never dreamed of reaching this milestone in such a short time. The positive input and constructive feedback from our early customers meant we started on the right track. This enabled us to grow but still provide that personal yet professional customer service and support. Without the support of our customers, we would never have got here so quickly. Thank you!

2022 had been a year of milestones for Attekus. Apart from breaking through the 10,000 bookable spaces barrier, we branched out internationally with our first New Zealand customer as well as getting our first customer in South Australia.

As we head into the festive season and looking forward to a good break, we want to wish all our customers a Merry Christmas and hope you have a enjoyable time with family and friends. Thanks again for your continued support and we look forward to working with you all again in 2023.
