A Few More Online Booking Systems Out There
Different industries, differing needs, different booking systems.
Any others?
Yes, loads.
We haven’t even talked about the travel industry, where more than 70% of all travellers now use a smartphone as a matter of course for booking hotels, flights, apartments, hire cars, cruises and holidays.
In fact, the list of things that people are looking to book online is pretty endless. If you offer a service that requires the time of a person, a piece of equipment or particular space (or often, a combination of the three), then you will find the benefit from a user-friendly online booking system that works on mobile and provides back-office tools to help increase your sales, reduce your admin and make life a little easier for your customers and your staff.
