Why More Community Centres Are Choosing SpacetoCo over Skedda

If you're managing bookings for a community centre - like a hall, training room, or shared space - you may have looked at Skedda. But as the need for self-service, automation and robust reporting grows, more community venues are switching to SpacetoCo to reduce admin and grow usage of their spaces.

Built for Community Centres, Not Just Offices

SpacetoCo was designed specifically for community spaces. Unlike Skedda, which is built for desks and office rooms, SpacetoCo gives you the tools to manage public access, casual and regular hirers and venue compliance - all in one platform.

Bookings Marketplace: Reach More People

SpacetoCo promotes your venue through an SEO-optimised public marketplace, helping more locals discover and book your spaces. It’s the easiest way to grow usage without needing marketing expertise.

Compliance and Reporting Made Simple

Track revenue, GST/VAT, space usage, and booking insights with clear monthly reports. SpacetoCo helps you stay transparent and audit-ready - with less effort.

Bonds, Invoicing & Payment Automation

From one-off hires to regular users, SpacetoCo handles bond payments, refunds, and ongoing invoicing. No more chasing payments or managing spreadsheets.

Support for Your Community, Too

SpacetoCo offers support for your hirers as well - reducing calls, emails, and walk-ins, while improving the booking experience for everyone.
