Schedule Organizer
Friday, 4 August 2006
I stumbled across this one while doing some research on a totally unrelated topic. Having been sufficiently impressed with it’s simultaneous simplicity and affability, I thought I might share my findings.
Schedule Organizer is a PHP/MySQL online scheduling system which offers a flexible, easy to use and powerful web-based interface for your clients to request and manage appointments with your business or organisation.
It allows your customers or prospects to make reservations, ranging from a simple appointment to a hotel room, restaurant table or conference room, just by browsing a weekly or monthly calendar and selecting an available time slot on the day of their choosing.
This flexible software is easily adaptable to almost any service industry, including professional service providers, holiday cottages, bed and breakfast establishments, small hotels, caravan sites and guest houses. From a users point of view, making a reservation couldn’t be simpler: once you’ve created an account, you just select the date/time and enter your email address and password to confirm the reservation.
It supports multiple “appointment areas” and “booking reasons” (each specific to the appointment area) and includes a “form field editor” which enables additional fields to be incorporated and presented to the user at the point of reservation. This feature alone makes Schedule Organizer one of the most versatile web-based appointment scheduling systems we have ever seen.
Take a look at the demo and the feature list. For around $120 (US) the folks at Schedule Organizer will install, customise and configure your own version of the software on a server of your choosing. If you’re prepared to do it yourself, you can get a license for only $50 (US).
