Stories about using the self-scheduling system

How the timeplan.me service can help. It's not just an online scheduler. Usage scenarios.

  1. Complete replacement of paper journal of appointments
    . The administrator marks all entries on the site (from a tablet, phone, computer), and allows customers to sign up online. The online data is always up to date. Switching clients to an online appointment saves a lot of time.
  2. Simply text message reminders. Reporting. Creating a clients base
    . In this scenario, the administrator duplicates data from the log on the site, e.g. once a day. Customers receive sms reminders (can be disabled, flexible). Automatically generate a customer database, and statistics - who visited what service how many times, how much money they spent. At any time you can export your whole customer base or calendar in Excel, Pdf.
  3. Administrator control, security
    . In order to protect against unrecorded entries, the administrator can be required to record everything in the online service. Paper log can be lost, erased, something not marked and missed. All actions of the administrator in the web service are logged and sabotage is impossible.
  4. Giving an online appointment without moving the entire queue to the service
    . Two options are possible here. The first is to open some specific hours just for online recording (so that there is no overlap with other appointments). For example, from 14 to 18 on Tuesdays and Thursdays - online recording, and put a pop-up window on your site, or add a link to the group in contact and announce the new opportunity. The second option is to collect applications, to allow recording for any time. The administrator will receive an sms that a new record online has been created, watch the paper log, and if the time is free - mark it in the paper log, if the time is busy - call the client back, and offer other options.
  5. Hourly rentals
    . If you are not a service provider, but you rent something: hourly rent of tools, apartments, offices, rooms, test drive cars, etc., then the first 4 points also apply to your company. Everything works the same way.
