THIS IS A SMASHING IDEA
Booking Engine
Will it blossom into a full appointment system (as for a multi-provider based, multi-service) clinic? Will it be able to handle 100's of appointments (in a day) or more for large concerts?
It would be great as a records based system with a graphical interface. An appointments tool added to an office system (I previously used) was db related. Since each appointment was a record, you could keep track of attendance. This became a management tool, you could review reports of those who missed their appointments which helped build compliance and reschedule business.
The graphical characteristic, of being able to click and move/paste Jim and Mary's appointment from this weekend to next was useful. Keeping track of the many times a particular service/facility item is used is useful, as it helps the staff monitor basic outcomes.
This is a very exciting addition, and will provide a lot of utility!
Much appreciated.
good idea
