The local picture

Why business automation is growing in Magnetic Island

Magnetic Island, a short ferry ride from Townsville, is known for its bays, national park walks, koalas and relaxed holiday atmosphere. Most businesses are small and owner-operated, serving visitors and a permanent island community.

Island businesses juggle ferry times, weather and guest questions. Automation answers questions and confirms bookings so owners can focus on guests.
