Online Scheduling and Calendars

Online Scheduling Applications & Calendars

Setting up group calendars or online scheduling applications


Customer Appointment Management Scheduling Software allows businesses and professionals to manage scheduling appointments and bookings. This type of software is also known as appointment booking software and online booking software. Customer appointment management scheduling software falls under two categories: desktop applications and web-based systems.

Desktop Applications - Programs that are usually licensed and installed on end-user computer. One downside is that desktop applications often do not have an online portal for staff or customer access and may require ongoing maintenance, support, and upgrading by the end-user.

Web-based Systems - Applications that are provided by a third-party service provider that offers appointment scheduling tools and features as a hosted software solution, usually provided via a web browser. One common benefit is that customers are provided the option of booking their own appointments. This facilitates appointment scheduling over the web as customers can access their usual professionals' schedules 24/7/365 and make appointments online through the Internet.
