Trusted by Hundreds of Venues Across the Globe
Whether you manage a single hall or hundreds of bookable spaces, SpacetoCo is the online booking solution that adapts to you - not the other way around.
Booking Growth & Management
Skedda is a widget that you can embed on your existing website or a standalone page that you can direct people to for bookings. SpacetoCo is a local space finding marketplace. Each bookable space has its own rich profile web page and each venue has its own profile page. These pages can be found through google, on the marketplace, from your website or kept private if you prefer. By participating in an active marketplace, venues grow their bookings and can find people to book the less popular times.

Payments, Invoicing & Bonds
Skedda takes payments for cards or allows you to invoice - but you have to choose which method you want for your whole venue. SpacetoCo allows you to take casual bookings by upfront card payment and invoice your regular or higher value customers for post payment. This means you can choose the right payment method for different customers and their organisations.

Reporting & Insights
Skedda has a nice dashboard showing a variety of data points. However, the ability to customise or extract this data is limited. SpacetoCo has a dashboard that you can customise by a number of data points. It also has a comprehensive reporting suite where you can set up custom reports, extract all your data in a CSV and even schedule reports to be emailed to management. SpacetoCo also compiles a suite of monthly financial reports including breakdowns of regular vs. casual hire, GST and reconciliation.

Maggie, City of Tea Tree Gully, Adelaide Australia
“As a community group of diverse multi-cultural communities representing all of the various 18 organisations and cultural backgrounds, the group found the SpacetoCo platform to be a user-friendly model that enabled those in which English is not a first language to navigate the bookings system with more ease due to the intuitive design than the current system the city has in place.”

Michael, City of Vincent, Perth Australia

Jill, St Heliers & Glendowie Community Centre, Auckland New Zealand

Why this rehearsal venue in Auckland moved from Skedda to SpacetoCo
Kete Aronui explain why it was the right decision to invest in a more comprehensive bookings and payments system for their busy venue.
"It's cut down our admin times by 80%"
Connie Boston, Administrator, Kete Aronui Rehearsal Facility, Auckland.
Customer & Admin Support
Both Skedda and SpacetoCo have email and chat support for venues and have comprehensive documentation for how they work. However, Skedda does not provide customer support for your hirers. Things like enquiries for how to reset a password need to be done by the venue. As a marketplace, SpacetoCo provides the same high quality support to both hirers and venues. This means we handle many of the small technical enquiries from your customers that can take up a lot of time.
