A booking system for renting out venues.
A booking system for venue rental lets you show what is free in real time, and lets people book and pay directly. Digilist is a Norwegian booking platform for private operators and public bodies alike — a real-time calendar, payment online and varied pricing, without rounds of email and phone calls.

What the operator gets.
Six capabilities that turn renting out into a digital, self-service flow.
A real-time calendar
People renting see free, booked and blocked time immediately. Double bookings are prevented automatically, and changes appear without a refresh for both sides.
Booking and payment online
The person renting books and pays directly by card or Vipps, the Norwegian payment app. Confirmation and receipt are sent automatically — no manual invoicing for small jobs.
Varied pricing and extras
Set the price by day of the week, season and capacity. Add cleaning, equipment, staffing or other extras as separate lines, so the person renting sees the total before booking.
Calendar sync (iCal / CalDAV / Outlook)
Keep your rental calendar in step with Outlook, Google and other calendars, so a booking in one place never collides with an appointment in another.
Automatic confirmations and reminders
Requests, confirmations, reminders and changes go out automatically to the person renting and to the relevant operations staff — less email and fewer phone calls for you.
Searchable and easy to find
Your venue appears where people are looking, with filtering by venue type, location and facilities. That is what gets an interested visitor to finish the booking.
One platform, many venue types.
From function rooms and farms to meeting rooms and sports facilities.
Connected to what you already use.
An invitation to Norwegian municipalities.
Digilist is a modern, accessible platform for managing municipal venues, sports facilities, meeting rooms and events — and for making them visible to the people who want to use them.
We are inviting municipalities to join a pilot, where we help make municipal venues and activities more available, simpler to administer, and easier for residents, clubs, organisations and event organisers to find.
The aim is not to replace existing systems or ways of working, but to explore how Digilist can work as a modern complement for residents and for the administration.
We help with setup and publishing at no cost during the pilot. The municipality gets its own administrative access to carry on from there.
Digilist provides
- A real-time availability calendar
- Straightforward booking and requests
- Seasonal allocation for clubs and associations
- An overview of venues and sports facilities
- A digital case-handling flow
- Administrative approval of requests
- Invoicing basis and payment overview
- A mobile-friendly, accessible interface
- Simple administration and content updates
- Better visibility for municipal facilities and activities
What we need from the municipality
- The venues or facilities the municipality administers
- Short descriptions
- Images or links, where available
- Contact details
- Any information about booking or seasonal allocation
The pilot is free of charge. The municipality takes on no commitment to continue or to procure.

Common questions about rental booking.
- What is a booking system for venue rental?
- A booking system for venue rental is a platform where you, as the operator, publish the times your venue is free, and people see availability in real time and book directly. It handles the calendar, price, extras, payment and confirmations, so you avoid rounds of email and phone calls. Digilist is such a system, built for private operators and for public venues alike.
- How do I rent out venues with a real-time calendar?
- You add the venue with its free times, price and any extras. People see immediately what is free, booked and blocked, and book the date they need. The calendar updates without a refresh, and double booking is prevented automatically because everyone sees the same live status.
- Can I take payment online?
- Yes. The person renting can pay at the point of booking by card or with Vipps, the Norwegian payment app. You can set prices that vary by day of the week, season and capacity, and add extras such as cleaning, equipment or staffing as separate lines in the price.
- What does a booking system for venue rental cost?
- The price depends on the number of venues, booking volume and integrations. Digilist offers a free demo and a quote suited to your needs. For the person renting it is free to search, compare and book — they pay only the rental price to the operator.
- Does Digilist suit both private operators and public bodies?
- Yes. Digilist is built for both markets in the same system. Private operators of function rooms, farms, meeting rooms and sports facilities use the same real-time calendar that municipalities use for public venues. That means people find private and public venues together, in one place.
- How does my venue get more visibility?
- Your venue becomes searchable by venue type, location and facilities, so people looking for exactly that kind of space find you. A real-time calendar and direct booking lower the barrier to an interested visitor actually completing the booking.
