Venuely, a leading event management company, approached AppsFor2 to build a white-label event booking solution that would give venues full control over their bookings, reduce reliance on third-party platforms, and streamline event management. Instead of using generic platforms like Eventbrite, Ticketmaster, or Peatix, they wanted a custom, scalable, and cost-effective solution that could be tailored to their specific needs.
By providing a fully branded, customizable event booking platform that eliminates high commission fees and enhances customer engagement.
For years, event venues in the United Kingdom and United States relied on third-party platforms like Eventbrite, Ticketmaster, and Peatix to manage bookings. While these platforms provided visibility, they came with high commission fees, lack of branding, and limited customer control—ultimately reducing profit margins and operational efficiency.
Beyond the financial burden, venues faced limited customization options, restricted access to customer data, and no direct control over pricing or promotions. They couldn’t create personalized event experiences, manage exclusive bookings, or directly engage with their attendees. The absence of integrated ticketing, real-time venue availability, and automated guest management further complicated event operations.
As dependence on these platforms grew, event organizers needed a solution that gave them complete control over bookings, reduced overhead costs, and allowed them to build direct relationships with customers—without compromising efficiency.
Event organizers and venues were paying 10-25% in commission fees to third-party platforms for each ticket sold. These costs were significantly reducing their profit margins, making events less sustainable.
Using third-party platforms meant that event hosts had limited control over their brand identity. They couldn’t personalize the booking experience, manage event promotions, or integrate loyalty programs.
Since third-party platforms controlled ticket sales, venues had no access to customer data. They couldn’t retarget attendees for future events, send promotions, or build a loyal audience.
Managing multiple venues, event spaces, and bookings through fragmented solutions was inefficient. They needed an all-in-one platform that simplified venue management, ticketing, and event scheduling.
To solve these challenges, AppsFor2 developed VenueSphere, a modular, white-label event management system designed to give event organizers and venue owners full control over their operations while reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
