What is Appointment Scheduling Software?

Appointment scheduling software allows businesses or individuals to manage the scheduling of appointments and bookings. Scheduling appointments is typically the first interaction with a new customer and a fast efficient process can help attract and retain customers. Appointment scheduling software allows customers to see your real time availability and self-book their own appointments. Frequently, most also allow for the automation of other routine scheduling tasks, such as intake forms and appointment reminders.

Many free appointment scheduling software products are available, though most offer limited functionality in terms of number of users, appointments bookable per month, or limited features. In comparison, advanced products are more scalable and integrate appointment scheduling with other management features. Advanced products offer a wider range of calendar integration (e.g. Outlook, Google Calendar, etc). Some products even offer invoicing, inventory management, or basic CRM features.

Before choosing an appointment scheduling product, determine which features you would like to have. Ensure your choice integrates with your calendar manager and any other applications, such as your web conferencing tool like GoToMeeting. Businesses with basic scheduling needs may be able to get by with free software, while others will determine they need a pay solution.
