Innovating the Admin Flows of Council Facility Bookings 

Wednesday, 14th August, 2024 | 1 PM – 2 PM AEST
Live Webinar

 Webinar Overview

Every Local Government has venues, spaces, and places for hire. The problem is, facility bookings can be really complex.

There are payments, refunds, bonds, customer expectations, cancellations, chasing unpaid invoices, account reconciliation, data management, hirers changing their minds, and a whole lot of cross-departmental back and forth – all of which leaves your team exhausted and your customers feeling somewhat exasperated. It does not have to be this way!

There are also council facilities managed by third parties who manage some of your halls, pavilions, club rooms, community centres and more. They have the same problems the council has. What if we could innovate the administration for ALL of your council’s community assets?

Council venues represent places to meet, celebrate, work, and even seek shelter – so it’s important for the councils to consider all available venues and properties in how community aspirations are met. Up until now, booking administration has not been easy, but new workflows now exist to simplify and automate repetitive tasks. Join our panel of experts who are leading the charge to modernise processes and activate their Council assets.
