Appointment & Reservation Management

The combined cost of missed appointments or bookings can have a hugely detrimental impact on profitability. Boomerang's Intelligent Messaging technology helps to mitigate this by streamlining the management of appointments and bookings through automated communications. Embedding Intelligent Messaging into booking management software not only allows reminders to be issued via the customer's preferred communication channel, but also allows an option for the customer to cancel the booking to be included in that reminder. Furthermore, where a cancellation is triggered, the re-allocation of the available slot can be automatically issued to a waiting list.

Because of the nature of our end-users, their communications skills and platforms are variable; we therefore, need to have a number of channels open to claimants. SMS is proving to be our most effective method of communication.
