Real-time availability, online bookings.
Customers instantly check whether a space is free and send a booking request — saving your booking manager time and effort. Staff can also make bookings on behalf of others, so everything stays in one place.
- Live calendar of every communal space
- Self-serve requests, auto-priced and conflict-checked
- Staff can book on behalf of residents and groups
Built for groups, not just individuals.
Customers can register as private individuals or as groups. For a group — a residents’ association, a charity, a tenants’ committee — you can attach more than one contact, such as the person who books and the accounts department who pays, and set how each one is notified.
- Register as a private individual or as a group
- Multiple contacts per group — primary contact, accounts and more
- Per-contact notification preferences for bookings and invoices
