Bring your Bookings Online with Bookteq

Bookteq is an intuitive booking system aimed at giving a digital upgrade independent sports venues, alongside increasing revenue. A product of Playfinder, Bookteq is designed for schools, councils, and sports clubs to help manage bookings and customers, and take payments online.

Not having online bookings can mean a lengthier customer journey and lower conversion rates. It also makes managing bookings more time-consuming for staff. Independent venues own 78% of the UK’s sports facilities, yet only 35% of these offer online bookings. Venues who operate with Bookteq’s Fully Managed package have seen utilisation rates surge by over 35% within a year.

Why bring your bookings online?

Making the transition to online bookings can be a hassle. There are several facility management software that lack a real understanding of venue manager requirements. Alternatively, Playfinder built Bookteq with direct input from venue managers to help them overcome tasks like processing manual bookings and dealing with cancellations.

We have witnessed first-hand on the Playfinder marketplace that slots made available online are booked at a faster rate than those that have to be processed manually.
