Website Appointment System

[JPM Accounting]

Hi All

I run a few business and am looking for an appointment system with CRM facebook and twitter integration. So that our clients and leads can book through the website.

We looked at bitrix24 which is perfect apart from the fact it does not have a online booking system.

Does anyone no of any decent ones?

Cheers

If you want a free solution and you don't mind advertisements just use Outlook.com
https://support.office.com/en-gb/ar...look-com-0fc1cb48-569d-4d1e-ac20-5a9b3f5e6ff2

If you want a more secure, ad free, solution share a calendar in Office 365 - There is a subscription to pay, but there are also many more features in O365.

Both solutions will integrate (code free) with some CRMs, facebook and twitter.

There are plenty of booking systems out there. What platform does your website use?

Hi Fisicx

Our website is built on wordpress.

Ok. That makes life a lot simpler. Except for the the CRM integration. I'm assuming you want the booking details (name, email, etc) to be passed to the CRM. This can only work if the CRM has an API you can hook into.

I build this sort of thing all the time and nearly everytime it's the target system that blocks integration.

We are not sure if it is easier to build our own CRM and booking system.

It all depends on what you want from the booking system and CRM. Like I said, I build this sort of thing all the time. It's not complicated to do and may serve your needs far better than trying to adapt and modify an off the shelf CRM.

Have you ever tried to search in https://codecanyon.net/ ? They have a lot of ready made CMS which can exactly match your business needs and you can get it running within 5 mins.

It is also cheap in between 50 pounds range for what you're looking for.

One of our customers has a DIY wix.com site and that has an appointment system module. Don't know how good it is.

Again, you can use Office 365. A CRM is just a DB with lots of backend functionality. Some do it all, some do bits of it. It all depends on what you want to achieve. Office 365 will let you build a customer list very easily in SharePoint. You can then build in the functionality. You don't need to be able to write code as most of it is select from menu. You do need a clear idea of what it is you want to achieve. Do you have a specification?

We use Calendly. You can embed it so that your prospects can book/set an appointment on your website. It is simple and easy-to-use. It allows your prospects to book a time that is convenient for them (prevents overlap of schedule).

Besides that, we use HubSpot as our CRM, integrated with our phone system (RingCentral) via CTI called Tenfold.com.

Hello,

We have developed an online booking system that allows you to take bookings on your website. All of the information about our booking system is on our website!

Best wishes,
Beth

We use setmore.com and it is really great - free for the most part but chargeable if you want some of the extra features such as automated text reminders.

We use Calendly to manage customers booking demos of our system. Highly recommended.
