"We realized that offering a simple solution to accept online appointment reservations was only part of the online booking solution," says CEO Jamie Stephens. "We know most businesses will not start taking 100% of their bookings online overnight, so we saw it was integral to also offer tools to manage and send invoices for bookings that were taken over the phone or in person."
Book'd gives studios and offices with multiple staff the ability for each staff member to have one or more schedules with different services and prices. Book'd is also designed for the freelancer who not only needs to decrease the amount of time spent on the phone, but also needs to cut down on appointment no-shows by having their customers pay online for the appointment at the time of booking.
Book'd is an online hosted software service that can be accessed at http://www.bookd.com. Every Book'd account gives users access to its simple calendar interface for managing bookings, online invoicing tools, and the ability to easily track past and future appointments for customers.
"It's so simple and so quick," says Scott Wyden Kivowitz of Scott Wyden Imagery in New Jersey. "Photographers who have a full time studio can easily schedule sessions without needing expensive software. Hair Stylists, Doctors, Lawyers...It works for pretty much all professions."
Book'd was founded in 2009 by Jamie Stephens with a specific mission: to help individuals and small businesses save time and money by making the online appointment scheduling process more effective, intuitive, and enjoyable. Book'd provides an online booking and invoicing service (http://www.bookd.com), which allows anyone to create an online booking system for their business.
