Appointment booking requirements differ across business
sectors
bookitlive an expert in online appointment booking software
solutions has announced the findings of a recently-released analysis that shows
over 20 different time slot durations utilised by its client base. This fact
demonstrates the complexity of booking appointments and affirms the need for service
providers to adopt a configurable appointment booking software solution that lets them determine their own
booking time-slot increments, not just select them from a small offering of
pre-determined times.

“Not every business schedules 15-minute or 30-minute
appointments,” says David Godbold, CTO of bookitlive. “Some may schedule two-minute
appointments, while others may have a need to schedule 90-minute blocks of
time.
The findings show that 15-minute time slots are utilised the
most, followed by 30-minute, 60-minute, 10-minute and five-minute. The length
of time slots utilised by bookitlive’s clients ranges from one minute all the
way up to 360 minutes, showcasing the need businesses and organisations have for
appointment booking software.
“The ‘One-Size-Fits-All’ model simply does not work when it
comes to appointment booking, as these stats clearly show.”
