Online booking
Let customers book themselves, day or night
Customers pick a service, a time and a person from your booking page. Octabiz sends the reminders, takes the deposit and puts the visit on your team’s calendar.
The busy parts, handled
- Before: Phone calls all day to agree on times. With Octabiz: Customers book and move their own visits online.
- Before: No-shows leave gaps in the day. With Octabiz: Reminders by email and SMS, deposits hold the slot.
