Appointy + Google Apps with Google Calendar = Better Organizing

May 31st, 2010 | by Nemesh | in Google Apps, Launch | with Comments

Do you use Google Apps? Appointy is now a part of Google Apps too.

Life is becoming so fast that the flow of information has increased tremendously and our hard disk (brain) which has limited capacity, cannot keep the information for a long time. In old days people used to keep personal diaries to manage themselves. Today, Google calendar along with mobile synchronization has replaced the old traditional diaries. The difference is the push technology which can notify user rather than user opening his diary daily and checking informations. Google calendar has really emerged as the best organizing tool.

Google calendar replaced your diaries but there was still something missing. Isn’t it?  What if the your client himself can come, see the empty times in your diary and fill their information. Wouldn’t it be great?

Yes, Appointy does the same. Appointy is now linked to Google Apps and it will extend your Google calendar further to take Appointments from your clients. Your clients will take appointment on Appointy and Appointy will update your Google calendar in real-time. Similary, any personal event you will book on Google calendar will be marked as Blocked on Appointy.  Each staff on Appointy can link their Google calendar with their respective accounts.

Please follow the steps to link Appointy with your Google Apps account.

1. Go to http://www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/viewListing?productListingId=2094+11203809800015607066

2. Click on Add it now an enter your Google App domain. e.g. xtremeheights.com

3. Follow the steps to complete your linking.

Multiple service booking with Appointy

May 1st, 2010 | by Nemesh | in Features | with Comments

Appointy is the only appointment system which allows multiple service booking. Your clients can select 2 services at the same time and Appointy will find the available time when those services can be performed in a row. These 2 different services can also be performed by 2 different staff.

Different industry are using it in a different way:

  • Salons are using it for allowing clients to book multiple services like Hair cut and then hair color.
  • Home inspection services are creating multiple categories like “Basic” category and “Additional cost” category. See an example below

multiple-service-booking

If I want to schedule a home inspection then as a client I will click on $300 flat rate inspection and I will select “Over 25 years old” as I am :) .

Appointy is a very generalized software and soon we will bring more examples of how other businesses are using it. If you have done something creative like this by tweaking Appointy then please let us know (contact@appointy.com) and we would be happy to feature your business here.
