Booking software?

[clactonmarie]

I have just started working for a community association that hire out a hall and 6 rooms. The booking process is a nightmare at the moment as all the bookings (and there are lots of them) have to be put onto a weekly spreadsheet so has to be typed, amended and printed out regularly.

Can anyone recommend a good booking software that updates bookings automatically, eg regular bookings, and would also help avoid double bookings. It would need to show the weekly bookings split into each room and times. Also, I can't spend too much of their money on this

Any recommendations/ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Take a look at Google Calendars. That's what a club i'm involved with use although I have to admit it's not something I have any experience with.

Worth a look.

Instead of using a spreadsheet using a database such as MS Access would handle bookings and better and produce the reports you need. A Local developer should be able to fit in your budget.

You might also want to have a look at BookingBug.

Hi there

Our software enables you to create multiple calendars for each room, to share the calendar online with other users. If you want to give it a trial - sign up for No obligation FREE 30 day trial - type icomplete.com/calendar into your browser to sign up.

Very easy to use.

Have a look at http://civicrm.org/. It may be a bit overkill but does include a booking and events module.

You could try looking on Google Apps Marketplace

something like Appointy - Appointment Scheduler might work:

You would need to create a prem google acccout tough (need your own domain) i think too.

I think you can take a look at Google Calendars, maybe the tools can help you.

I'm using a free wordpress plugin called "booking calender" to take bookings for my band (in sig), it's perfect for what I need. I would recommend google calender aswell.

Hi, Google Calendar is worth trying as it is free and quite comprehensive and you can share, access it with mobile phones and so on.

One good solution is Checkfront Online Booking System (bit.ly/rpysaa). It seems to have everything you need and another features like integration with Facebook, Wordpress and Google Apps.

I hope it helps you.

We use http://youcanbook.me/?utm_source=ycbm&utm_medium=poweredByLink&utm_campaign=PoweredByYCBM - its free and works well and is easy to set up, although its not set up for room bookings more appointments I'm sure you could configure is pretty easily.
