“Valuable tool for event marketers; comes with great customer support”

Have been working with Colocator and their team since 2017, which has always been a pleasure. We have used the tool in 4 different major EU music festivals' mobile apps since then. We're implementing partnership deals through Colocator, messaging festivalgoers throughout their festival experience, live event monitoring, as well as getting valuable insights for future use (crowd management, productional decisions, artist affinity, etc).
