BookingKoala

BookingKoala helps people set up and expand a service company. One system takes online bookings, manages the calendar, recruits providers and keeps in touch with clients.

What BookingKoala offers

• Website builder — comes with booking forms that can be embedded, so a firm with no site of its own can still accept bookings.
• Hiring module — automated lead capture and filtering for recruiting service providers.
• Marketing campaigns — sends email and SMS campaigns, scheduled or one-off, to existing contacts.
• Scheduling — manages scheduling and rescheduling as a business grows.
• Separate account types — provider accounts show bookings, payments, tips and ratings; customer accounts manage appointments, referrals and gift cards.
• Merchant dashboard — lets an owner run operations from desktop, tablet or mobile.

Who it works with

Over 20,000 users in a range of industries rely on it, the company says, and its founders built it after growing a sizeable service business themselves.
