PRLog -- Scottsdale, Ariz. – The hot summer months that will soon be upon most parts of the country triggers a new influx of customers to auto repair shops, car dealership service centers and similar businesses as individuals bring in their vehicles for seasonal maintenance, tire inspections, radiator flushes and other services. Online scheduling software from Appointment-
Plus is making it easier for these service providers to efficiently and effortlessly book these new appointments.
A leader in online scheduling software since 2001, Appointment-
Plus (http://www.appointment-
plus.com/index.php)
provides auto repair shops and service providers with the Web-based tools they need to automate and streamline this important, yet tedious, task, such as:
• Online customer self-scheduling, which allows customers to book their own service online and at their own convenience 24 hours a day.
• Automated e-mail and text message reminders sent prior to a scheduled appointment.
• Online customer payment options.
• Record-keeping and reporting capabilities.
• E-marketing features to promote discounts, promotions and other news.
“Taking service appointments over the phone and manually recording them in a paper appointment book or electronic calendar is time-consuming and not the most efficient way to manage your scheduling,”
says Bob La Loggia, CEO of StormSource Software, the developer of Appointment-
Plus. “Our cutting-edge software completely automates the booking process from start to finish, allowing staff members to spend less time on the phone and more time on other responsibilities.”
Because Appointment-
Plus is Web-based, all that’s required to use the software is an Internet connection, with no downloads, installations, extra hardware or IT support needed. Service providers simply add a “Book Now” button to their Web site, which takes customers directly to their Appointment-
Plus scheduler when they click on it.
Pricing starts at $39 per month, with no long-term contracts. All sign-ups receive a free training and set-up session with a professional coach.
“Making scheduling easy for you and your customers can have a dramatic impact on your operating procedures,”
La Loggia adds. “Appointment-
Plus lets you do just that.”
