Booking platform delivery, by the numbers
04
- week delivery cycles
- 10-14
A general-purpose booking tool models availability as a simple calendar grid: every practitioner available or not, every slot the same length, every service the same room. That model breaks the moment you add a second treatment type with a different duration, a room usable for only one treatment, or a package granting the client sessions to book at their discretion.
A custom platform models the actual relationships between services, practitioners, rooms, durations, and availability from the start. Vouchers, packages, and loyalty rewards connect to the same booking record, visible and redeemable at the point of booking, not managed through a separate process.
Capabilities
What we build
01Provider availability and treatment scheduling
Service-specific durations block the right time window per treatment type, with room and equipment availability checked alongside practitioner availability in one flow. Practitioner skills limit which treatments they appear for, and configurable buffer time allows room prep without staff having to manage gaps manually.
02Online booking and automated communications
A client-facing portal shows available practitioners and times with no calls or emails needed. Automated reminders include a one-click confirm or cancel link, and a waitlist notifies clients automatically when a cancellation opens a matching slot.
03Pre-treatment forms and consent management
Digital intake forms and consent documents deliver automatically after booking, with a reminder if incomplete 24 hours out. Consent is timestamped for an auditable record, and responses are visible to the practitioner before the session begins, configured per treatment type.
04Treatment records and client history
Session notes and progress photos attach to the client record immediately after each appointment, viewable by any authorised practitioner so a client switching therapists doesn't start from a blank slate. Handover notes carry mid-course clients between practitioners, with access controls limiting clinical records to those who need them.
05Gift vouchers, packages, and course management
Vouchers purchasable online validate automatically at booking with balance deduction, no staff process required. Multi-session packages decrement per booking with a low-balance notification, and treatment courses with a defined sequence track completion and alert the practitioner if an interval is being missed.
06Loyalty rewards integrated with appointments
Points accrue per completed appointment, proportional to treatment value, with tier progression unlocking priority booking and member-exclusive slots. Redemption applies at checkout, and referral tracking credits a reward when a referred friend completes their first appointment, all in the same connected system as the booking and treatment record.
How we work
From scope to live platform

01Service and resource scoping
We map your treatment menu, practitioner skills, and room/equipment constraints. You leave week 1 with a written scope document and a fixed-price quote.
- Weeks 2-4
02Scheduling logic and consent design
Booking rules, resource matching, and consent workflows designed against your actual service model.
- Weeks 5-11
03Build and integrate
Booking portal, treatment records, and package/voucher engine built in parallel, tested against real scheduling scenarios.
- Final 2-3 weeks
04Launch and staff training
Practitioners trained on the treatment-record workflow before full rollout.
