By providing service merchants integrated software-as-a-service based tools and high levels of support, we are helping to drive the type of explosive growth in service commerce that retail stores have enjoyed with ecommerce in the past decade.”

Earlier this year, Booker announced a partnership with First Data, a payment terminal platform, as well as acquired Frederick, an artificial intelligence powered automated marketing platform for appointment and class-based local service businesses. This acquisition has accelerated Booker’s strategy to enter new markets and thousands of small business merchants now use Fredrick, including many of Booker’s customers. "The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts,” says Eric Schurenberg, president and editor-in-chief of Inc. “It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great–usually from scratch. That’s one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails.”
