Why a service booking platform makes sense for Funafuti (Vaiaku)
Funafuti (Vaiaku) is a capital of tuvalu, atoll and district, with a population of roughly 6,025, and one of the markets in Tuvalu where we build service booking platforms.
Capital atoll and government centre — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Tuvalu has a very small population on Funafuti atoll. Online catalogues mainly support local shops and diaspora orders.
For a business in Funafuti (Vaiaku), the opportunity is to own the customer relationship: your own service booking platform keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.

Designed to your requirements, not a template
Funafuti (Vaiaku) businesses tell us what they sell and how they want to sell it; our engineers turn that into a custom service booking platform, an admin system and a mobile app shaped around their operations.
Typical clients include salons and spas, gyms and studios, home-service providers and training institutes. Categories that sell especially well online in Tuvalu — groceries, electronics, home and fishing equipment — get catalogue structures and filters designed for them.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
What your service booking platform includes
These are the building blocks of a service booking platform. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Funafuti (Vaiaku) operation needs.

Smart scheduling
Real-time availability, buffers, capacity, resources and rooms, time zones and holiday calendars. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Funafuti (Vaiaku) team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.

Full payment, deposits, pay-at-venue, cancellation fees, refunds and gift vouchers. Shipping rules can use Tuvalu Post and air cargo as well as your own delivery staff in Funafuti (Vaiaku).

Funafuti (Vaiaku) sellers: marketplace plus your own store
Local stores and cross-border sites are where many shoppers in Funafuti (Vaiaku) start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
With your own service booking platform you keep the customer data, set the offers and the packaging, and still push stock to marketplaces from a single admin.
Compliance built into your service booking platform
Tax basics: Tuvalu applies a consumption tax on goods and services; confirm current rates at implementation.
Customer data is handled with general constitutional protections in mind, and the storefront follows general commercial law.
We build the technical controls — tax-inclusive pricing, compliant invoices, consent banners, terms and return pages, data-access roles and audit logs. We are not a law firm, so final legal and tax positions should be confirmed with your own adviser in Tuvalu.
Android and iOS apps for your Funafuti (Vaiaku) business
A customer app makes rebooking one tap, while a staff app shows the day's schedule, routes for field visits, job checklists and payment collection.
Apps are published under your own developer accounts and share the same backend as your service booking platform, so offers, stock and orders are always consistent between web and mobile.
Push notifications can be timed to UTC+12 so offers reach Funafuti (Vaiaku) customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Tuvaluan and English.
- POS systems
- Video-call tools
- WhatsApp Business API and SMS
- Payment gateways
- CRM and marketing
- Google and Outlook calendars
- Accounting
- Maps and route planning
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
