The Solution
“We looked at a few different solutions” says Kate, “but Priava gave us what we needed, was in budget and we liked the fact that it was cloud-based.” The solution has been up and running since December 2013 and according to Kate the team find it easy to use and they like the clear listings and dashboard of events.

The Results
Streamlining of tasks and elimination of double bookings
‘Bulk Editing’ saves time on repeat bookings
‘Notes’ tab functionality is very popular – updates are visible on-screen
The Notes tab also helps if a member of staff is away, as they can catch up with what’s happening just by reading the latest update.
External suppliers benefit from controlled access to system
Quick reporting reveals occupancy rates and supplies key marketing intelligence
