Clovo, Springwood, QLD

Clovo is booking and payments software built for Australian boutique fitness studios, including Pilates, yoga, HIIT, spin, personal training, small-group training and other in-person class-based businesses. It gives studio owners a single system for managing schedules, client bookings, memberships, class packs, one-off payments, recurring billing, staff, instructors, locations, waitlists and client communication, without needing separate tools for booking, payments and admin.

The platform is designed around the way small and independent studios actually operate. Instead of forcing owners into heavy enterprise workflows or expensive monthly software plans, Clovo focuses on practical day-to-day tasks: publishing classes, taking bookings, handling cancellations, managing memberships, selling packs, checking clients in, processing payments and keeping records organised. Clients can book through mobile apps on iPhone and Android, while staff can manage operations through web, iPad and integrated admin tools.

A major point of difference is Clovo’s pricing. Standard accounts have no fixed monthly subscription and no credit card requirement. Clovo charges 1% of studio income processed through the platform, alongside Stripe transaction fees, capped at $1,100 + GST per year. This means the cost rises and falls with the studio’s revenue: if a studio has a slower month, takes time off, or is still getting started, its software cost adjusts accordingly. Fees are paid by the studio, not by clients.

Clovo is also built specifically for Australia. The product is Australian made, with local support, Australian-dollar pricing and reporting, and infrastructure hosted in AWS Sydney. It supports Australian payment methods such as BECS and PayTo, and is designed to settle funds directly to Australian bank accounts. For local studio owners, this reduces friction around currency, payouts, bank compatibility, support time zones and performance.

For clients, Clovo creates a simple branded booking experience. Studios can use the Clovo app, which locks to the studio after launch, giving clients a mobile booking flow without the business needing to build its own app. Clients can book in-person classes, manage attendance and connect with their studio or trainer. The app is focused on physical, in-person fitness services rather than online or digital classes.

For studio owners, the value is reduced admin and cleaner operations. Clovo brings together scheduling, payments, client management, memberships, packs, staff tools and reporting so owners can spend less time switching systems and more time running classes, supporting clients and growing the business. It is especially suited to boutique studios that want modern software without large upfront costs, complex setup, hidden add-ons or enterprise-style pricing.
