Leading Online Appointment-Scheduling Service Sets Over 50 Million Appointments

Aug. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- Scottsdale, Ariz. – Appointment-Plus (http://www.appointment-plus.com), an industry leader in online appointment-scheduling software, has announced that its online application has been used to schedule over 50 million appointments and reservations in the United States, Canada and 10 other countries. Scheduling these appointments were over 4,000 businesses, medical practitioners, colleges and universities, government agencies and organizations.

The company reached the milestone earlier this month.

“This crowning achievement shows how important and valuable Appointment-Plus is to businesses, organizations and individuals throughout the world,” says Bob La Loggia, president and founder of StormSource Software, the developer of Appointment-Plus. “We’re proud to be a trusted partner in helping our clients with their scheduling, reservation and booking needs.”

Appointment-Plus is online scheduling software that offers businesses and organizations such functionality as online customer self-scheduling, whereby their customers can schedule and manage their appointments and reservations from any Internet connection; automated e-mail and text message reminders sent prior to a scheduled appointment; robust record-keeping and report-generating features; and e-marketing capabilities.

Because of its versatility, Appointment-Plus is the perfect fit for all types of industries and organizations. From photography studios and massage therapists to large shipping operators, universities and Fortune 500 companies, users of the software can tailor its functionality to meet their specific scheduling needs. The system also allows users to create an overall appearance that meshes with their company or organization’s Web site, logo or other marketing images.

As a Web-based application, it’s accessible from any Internet connection and is ideal for individuals who need access to their appointment schedule when away from their home or office. Additionally, Appointment-Plus does not require a Web site, expensive hardware or time-consuming installations to use. Pricing starts at $39 per month with no long-term contracts, along with free set-up assistance with a dedicated coach.

Appointment-Plus in June announced that 10 million unique users have utilized the application since its launch. This number, coupled with the 50 million appointments set, illustrates the growing demand businesses and organizations have for online appointment-scheduling software, La Loggia adds.

“We’ve seen a tremendous amount of interest in online-scheduling solutions from all industries and organizations, which demonstrates the importance of this technology,” says La Loggia. “They know that their customers are online, and they realize the need to offer an easy way for them to securely and easily schedule their appointments and book their reservations."
