An online booking engine

Posted 24 November 2011, 3:24 PM

We're nearing the completion of a project for an ocProducts client which involves a new online booking engine that we've built.

Over the last couple of years this is the single biggest thing we've really noticed is missing if you are looking from a perspective of implementing arbitrary commercial projects in ocPortal. It's a requirement that keeps coming up for commercial interests.

It seems this would work for a facility, like a health spa. Some clients may need to book a specific room (like for a massage) or to use a featured service (such as setting a golf tee time), or book with a specific person (that great manicurist).

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.
