The time has come: In mid-May, the Bookings program will become an integral part of the Microsoft 365 family.

What is Bookings?

In short, it makes it easier to make appointments inside and outside the company. In what way?

  • Available appointments can be easily found and booked directly at any time via an easily customizable website. On this website, you can enter details about the business such as address, opening hours, services and prices.
  • Customers and employees can be created along with their contact details.
  • It can be conveniently integrated both on the company website and on Facebook.
  • The application sends appointment confirmations fully automatically, books the appointments in the calendar of the people involved and reminds them of the appointment. If necessary, appointments can also be rescheduled and canceled with just a few clicks. And if someone prefers to make an appointment by phone, all they have to do is enter it and the rest is done automatically.

This ensures time savings, satisfied customers and fewer missed appointments.

You can see what such a booking page might look like for the customer on the Microsoft page.

Microsoft Bookings

This program is primarily intended for small businesses that provide services to customers on an appointment basis. These include companies such as hairdressing salons, consultants, law firms or workshops. However, it is also useful for larger companies, even if they are not directly active in the service sector. For example, for support staff who have to attend many appointments. As this program will soon be available not only as an add-in but also as a fixed product, it is worth taking a closer look.
