History ------- About Bookient - much more than a reservation system The development of Bookient initiated in 2011 with a team of four programmers and a project manager. Project CTO had gained over 10 years of experience in scheduling solutions through his past position with a leading scheduling solution provider. During this time the need for a next generation scheduling solution became clear and was supported by customer feedback. “We had witnessed first hand the demands brought about from moving scheduling on-line and the opportunities this presented for the future of scheduling solutions.” Today, electronic scheduling solutions are expected by the customers of service industry businesses. We at Bookient feel there is an opportunity for a scheduling solution to be so much more than just a reservation management tool. It has the potential to become a way for service sector businesses to manage their entire business operations through a single solution. This was the inspiration and basis for the development of Bookient. Bookient’s mission since the beginning has been to improve small businesses competitiveness while helping them grow their business through the automation of customer relationship management and marketing processes. The Bookient system was developed over a 4 year period with over 20 000 programming hours creating a comprehensive solution which was continuously compared with industry needs to ensuring it meets the demands of Bookient users. Through an external global competitor analysis, Bookient was found to be a leading scheduling solution based on its features, price and performance. The scheduling solution is cloud based meaning it is accessible from anywhere and on any device, making managing all aspects of your business easy and convenient. Additionally, Bookient ensures available resources are used efficiently, helps businesses gain new customers and makes managing customer relations simple and convenient. The basic version of Bookient is completely free. The Bookient scheduling solution was initially designed for hair and beauty salon businesses but as one of the most comprehensive scheduling solutions available, it can easily be customized to meet the demands of any businesses. Bookient will also soon be available pre-configured for a variety of service businesses, making setting up Bookient for your business quick and easy. Bookient is perfect for businesses of any size and its scalability allows it to grow with your business meaning switching your scheduling solution along the way will not be necessary. We are continuously developing new integrations to ensure our system is compatible with existing ones, making Bookient the best solution for managing all your businesses scheduling needs. At June 2015 we decided to license Bookient as Open Source
