A reliable booking system unique of its kind
We use Bookingbug to accept online bookings from the public. We provide courses on First Aid at Work, Health and Safety such as Moving and Positioning of People, Care courses such as Epilepsy Awareness and many more. Our main courses on First Aid at Work are bookable online through Bookingbug.
- The best feature about Bookingbug is the way that we can set up our courses so very easily. Nothing quite like it elsewhere. It's a joy to use when I need to amend a course. An event template is set up, then all dates are based on the template. So the Administrator need not set up each course event individually. To amend, we amend the template and all amendments are cascaded down to all dates set up for that specific event.
- Another feature that's very important is, of course, the link with Paypal and other online payment system. When full payment is received, it receives communication from Paypal that payment has been made at which time Bookingbug notifies us by email that a booking has been made. There is peace of mind and guarantee that the payment has been received.
- When Booking does not receive notification of payment, the administrator can set the booking to be cancelled at a set number of hours after the booking was set up. You can set this up to one day or 2 hours. The client is informed of this period of time automatically to give them time to make the payment.
- There is an optional password setup for each client. A client who may use Bookingbug again may be better off setting up their passwords. They can log in to their Bookingbug account when they need to book another course at another time.
- A very good feature is the coupons and deals. I've used coupons, very easy to use, as with other parts of Bookingbug, and very easy to customise. You can use coupons to give discounts to your regular customers, or to those who book multiple courses/places, etc. I use this a lot.
- Quite a few of our clients book several places per course date in one go. Their feedback is that they don't see anywhere where they can write the names of the course attendees. It's quite usual where the one who books the courses in Bookingbug is not the one attending the course. I would like to see this improved so that it's clear where the client can input the attendees' names.
Nomad uses Booking Bug to manage clinic bookings across our nine locations. Our staff and clients use Booking Bug on a daily basis to make, amend or cancel bookings, and it provides us with the necessary contact details and travel health requirements to allow us to manage our bookings for the utmost benefit of our clients. Each of our individual locations uses Booking Bug to configure their own clinics (working days, appointment times etc). We have a centralised call centre that also uses Booking Bug, and users can easily 'switch' between locations to book in alternative clinics as necessary.
Booking Bug makes the communication of information to the client significantly more effective - we can send them everything that our clients need prior to their appointments, and the ability to edit, move or cancel bookings at the click of a button has simplified Nomad's working practices and saves a significant amount of time and energy. We have recently (Dec '13) linked our bookings to a computerised medical record system, which has already had a significant impact upon the business, even in such a short period of time.

- The service team at Booking Bug has always been swift and professional in dealing with our queries, and our configuration and use of Booking Bug has become more efficient as a result of the team's assistance.
- Booking Bug's system of notifications, by way of confirmation emails and booking reminders, are incredibly useful for both clients and staff. Clients arrive 'prepped' with everything that they need to know/bring, and are able to easily amend/cancel appointments where previously they might have failed to attend (without notifying our clinics).
- The configuration process is very simple, and allowed us to specify complicated requirements for individual clinics. We have a range of different services, and Booking Bug easily accommodated these.
- Our business would benefit from the ability to have more control over booking length, after the appointment has been made. Currently, we can only edit time based upon the initial duration, whereby we would benefit by being able to extend or reduce booking lengths in fifteen minutes increments, regardless of original length.
- We would also benefit from being able to access client data across the locations, so that a client making a new booking in an alternative location (for example) would be 'saved' and thus save from 're-entering' data that was already taken at the initial booking phase.
- Moving client bookings across locations would also be an enormous feature for us, saving our clinic staff time and energy, and increasing speed for the client.

Offers a number of ticketing and event type options
We run a Social Media Training and Consultancy and we were looking for a booking tool for our social media school.
- Very flexible.
- The different types of event and ticket options you can provide are far more advanced than some of the other booking systems available
- The technical support was second to none and very quick in responding.
- The main area of improvement for me is the customer interface could be a little easier to use and more flexible with the layout of the controls.
