Appointment booking requirements differ across business sectors

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.

bookitlive analysed the following business sectors to determine their booking time slots requirements:

Accountants,  Acupuncturists,  Astrology Readings, Barista Training Course  Beauty Salons,    Bicycle Servicing Workshops,  Bowling Clubs, Car Servicing, Car wash,  Career Coaching, Charities, Children Entertainers, Chiropractors  Day Spas, Dentists,  Dive Instructors, Doctors, Driving Schools, Environmental Auditors, First Aid Training, Fishing Charters, Fitness Centres, Jet Flight Simulators,    Go Karting Centres, Golf Instructors, Gyms, Beauty Salons, Hypnotists, Language  Classes Laser Clinics, Lawn and Garden Maintenance,  Makeup Artists, Maintenance Services, Massage Therapists, Myotherapists, Nail Salons, Naturopaths, Osteopaths, Paintball Centres, Personnel Trainers, Photographer, Physiotherapists, Pilot Training Podiatrists, Real Estate Agents, Recording Studios, Reflexologists, Restaurants,  Surfing School, Tanning Salons, Tattoo Studios,  Tax Agents, Teeth Whitening Clinics, Trampoline Centres Tour Operators, Tutoring Services, Vaccination Services, Uniform Fitting, Veterinarian, Waxing Salon, Weight Loss Centres

“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.”
