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.
