Auckland venues choose cloud-based technology to manage their bookings and events

Auckland venues choose cloud-based technology to manage their bookings and events
December 1, 2015

Leading cloud-based venue management software company Priava has announced at the annual conference of the Entertainment Venues Association of New Zealand (EVANZ) the addition of three new clients, AMI Auckland Netball, Bruce Pulman Park and Collective Hospitality to its growing list of New Zealand customers.

Speaking at the EVANZ conference hosted by venues Vbase and Isaac Theatre Royal in Christchurch (being held from 30th November to 2nd December), Priava Business Development Manager Matt Brindle stated “we’re delighted with the support shown by New Zealand’s Venue & Events community, it's fantastic to have such great businesses taking up our service and shows the choice to invest in a local New Zealand office and staff has been well received.”

Priava Chief Executive James Pegum, in Christchurch for the conference, commented on the company’s strategy of globalisation, explaining “as a global business we’re keen to ensure local markets are serviced by local people and local jobs are created to feed into the local economy, whilst still being able to access a global support and development team.”

Priava’s New Zealand Country Manager Neil Cox, added "by focusing specifically on New Zealand’s needs and having an in-country team with great experience in the industry, Priava have been able to provide solutions that match the exact demands of the local market. One such example is our software’s ability to integrate with another well-loved Kiwi cloud accounting service, Xero.

"Our compatibility with other cloud products is really attractive together with other key benefits such as the ability to access the system from any location, ease-of-use, consolidated reporting, significant time-savings and reduced IT support.”

Priava’s new customers
As the pre-eminent provider of netball services, Auckland Netball’s mission is to encourage healthy active lifestyles, provide development pathways for all and contribute proactively to netball in New Zealand. The $18 million dollar facility comprises a combination of indoor and outdoor courts as well as a range of function and meeting rooms for hire.

Auckland’s catering and hospitality experts, Collective Hospitality was formed to put the confidence back into private and corporate catering in New Zealand. 

The full service catering company delivers a holistic hospitality experience encompassing bespoke catering and dedicated service across its exclusively managed and world-class waterfront venues in Auckland; The Wharf and Orakei Bay

In addition, Collective also provide catering at a choice of other well-known locations such as The Auckland War Memorial Museum and Vector Arena.

Bruce Pulman Park - located in Auckland and spread across over 64 acres is a totally new concept in sports, recreational and leisure amenities geared towards community excellence at all levels.

Its current range of venue facilities accommodate between five and 150 people and are ideal for seminars, business meetings, sports team events and function room dinners. 

The building of a new indoor arena set to open in early 2016 will substantially increase the volume and size of events that can be hosted in the future.
