SOFTWARE COMPONENTS & SYSTEMS
Project List
The following list of software components represents a general overview of the systems that we have developed and/or own pre-existing technology for. Our vast library of components and systems allows us to combine and integrate existing functions into new products quickly and effectively. Please review the following to learn more about the systems we have available for your e-business needs.

Appointment Booking and Request/Response
We have created several systems for the effective use of the web for scheduling:

  • A full featured "live booking" system which provides confirmation of appointments instantly. Requires significant initial setup and persistent web access. Features in-depth "employee-service-price-duration" relationships. Implements a scheduling suggestion engine to ensure efficient automated booking. Includes self-registration, branded interfaces, and email confirmations.

Clients select preferred time and indicate window of availability. Minimal setup is required and it does not require persistent web access.
