New Zealand Startup Digitises Community Fairs and Markets, Attracting Almost 100 Stallholder Applications on Launch Day

Wellington-built StallHub helps event organisers replace spreadsheets and paperwork with a modern online platform for managing markets, fairs and festivals.

A Welligton software startup is helping community events move into the digital age, with locally developed platform StallHub receiving almost 100 stallholder applications on its first day of launch.

StallHub launched its latest event application system alongside applications opening for Mexted Motors Spring into Tawa, one of Wellington's much-loved community festivals. The strong first-day response highlights the demand from stallholders and event organisers for simpler, more efficient ways to manage community events.

For many markets, fairs and festivals, managing stallholder applications remains a manual process involving spreadsheets, emails, online forms and payment tracking. StallHub was created to help organisers streamline these tasks while providing stallholders with a clearer and more professional application experience.

"Community events are often powered by volunteers who dedicate hundreds of hours behind the scenes to make them happen," said StallHub founder Brigitte Anderson. "A large part of that workload comes from administration - processing applications, following up information, issuing invoices, managing payments and communicating with stallholders. We built StallHub to make that process easier."

The platform allows event organisers to:

• Create customised stallholder application forms
• Collect and manage applications online
• Review, approve and communicate with stallholders
• Manage payments and event requirements
• Organise stall information and event logistics in one place

For stallholders, StallHub provides a central place to discover events, submit applications, provide required information and keep track of their participation.

The launch with Mexted Motors Spring into Tawa marks an important milestone for the New Zealand startup as it expands its focus on supporting community-led events throughout the country.

"Markets and fairs bring communities together, support local businesses and create opportunities for thousands of small vendors," said Anderson. "Our goal is to give organisers the tools they need so they can spend less time managing paperwork and more time creating great events."

With early adoption from stallholders immediately following launch, StallHub is continuing development of additional features designed to support event organisers, including improved event coordination, volunteer management and sponsor engagement tools.
