Since the system was first advertised as a dedicated application its unlimited functionality has been frequently put into question. Even now customers seem not to believe in elaborated functionality of the solution and for this reason we would like to provide you with some unusual enquires and answers regarding an online booking system.

Betty, who runs a Beauty Center, wanted her online booking system to be equipped with a tool she called an adviser. The adviser was supposed to recommend the undecided customers the exact type of procedure to be booked. Finally, the system Betty ordered allow customers to book an exact procedure at once or use the adviser which requires fulfilling a survey that is about to help in choosing the procedure.

Tom, an owner of a successful hotel at the seaside, asked us to design an online booking system integrated with various online payment systems. Moreover, he wished his system to automatically grand discounts to regular visitors of his hotel and customers booking for extended stays. In order to make the system more complex we offered Tom system enabling the reception clerk to accept payments via telephone. Of course, for that Tom needed to benefit from external company’s services, but still he appreciates the solution very much.

Elena, a manager of a big Hair & Beauty Salon, was looking for an online booking system enabling her to monitor booking history of the customers. She needed the information frequently as the customers didn’t remember what procedures and when they benefited from. Elena also wanted to integrate her online booking system with CRM system used in the Salon, but it occurred to be unprofitable since the system was too simple. We offered her an online booking system with booking history then and a proprietary CRM system to be fully integrated with it.

Surely, above mentioned options are not cheap, but on the other hand, they improve the quality of customer service so much that they are commonly considered as a beneficial investment.

 

We have already agreed that an online booking system is a beneficial solution for companies representing all lines of businesses. We have also mentioned reduction of work amount, as well as acceleration of information circulation and improvement of provided services’ quality as the three basic profits from having an online booking system. But do we know how it really works?

Let’s concentrate on the most representative of examples – a hotel. Depending on range of their needs, hotels may successfully use a simple online booking system, as well as its elaborated equivalent. Unquestionably, elaborated and in the same time quite expensive online booking software is more complex and offer wider functionality, which makes the software almost irreplaceable in hotels’ everyday work. When properly integrated with offline booking system or rooms database the software updates the base automatically after each online reservation is made. This functionality truly accelerates circulation of information regarding all on and offline bookings. Secondly, the system discharges a reception clerk from updating the base manually, so that the amount of work is reduced significantly. Without such a system big hotels would be forced to employee more workers, who would update the base and during manual updating some serious mistakes, influencing the quality of customer service, can easily occur. Finally, the system is known as a tool improving quality of provided services, as well as customer service itself. Surely, available online up-to-date database is a crucial factor in gaining customers’ satisfaction, but still there are various interesting options that make customers even more satisfied with the services. We will try to discuss some of the most interesting options next time.
