5 Unique Capabilities of an Online Scheduling Application

As technology advances, old dinosaurs become extinct. Before the days of online shared calendars, there were PDAs. Now, many businesses think a basic shared calendar will suffice. When you run a business, using these archaic devices can leave you left behind and damage your company’s reputation.

 

If it is just you with one schedule book, it may work, but when you have multiple team members sharing office space and resources, separate schedules can create conflict and even cost you business. That’s where an online scheduling application comes in. 

 

The Risks of Going Without an Online Scheduling App

 

Most businesses share the same goal at the end of the day: growth. As business pours in, schedules fill up. This should be a good thing; more customers equal more revenue.

 

However, an outdated or inefficient scheduling system can bring your company’s growth to a grinding halt. Inadequate scheduling procedures can pose serious issues.

 

  • Scheduling MishapsWhen a company has multiple employees, assets, or locations, ineffective scheduling hinders your company. If you have scheduled a specific resource, this needs to be transparent to everyone to avoid overbooking.

 

  • Performance Inefficiencies – If your scheduling mishaps go unchecked, this will naturally trickle down into performance problems, reducing your revenue-making opportunities.

 

  • Lowers Employee Morale – If can be frustrating to have your workday bogged down with scheduling inefficiencies. If you don’t give your employees the management organization they deserve, they won’t be able to perform at their best.

 

  • Image Damage Not only is your team impacted by poor scheduling procedures, but your company suffers as a whole from image damage. When you have to bump meetings due to lack of time, space and resources, your company inherits labels such as unprepared, unorganized, or unreliable.

 

Even if your team has a shared in-office team calendar, scheduling issues can still arise.

 

The solution is an organized scheduling application has scheduling and workflow capabilities and updates in real-time. That’s why Trinity created an online calendar and scheduler, TrinityCalendar.

 

An Online Scheduling Application That Supports Processes and Workflows

 

An online scheduling application gives team members insight into what others are doing and which resources are taken. It streamlines key business processes and workflows, allowing your business to run optimally. Below are just five of the countless unique examples of business processes that can benefit from using an online scheduling tool.

 

  1. Client and Staff Scheduling

 

If you run a business where you have many field reps, no matter what type of job, an online scheduling tool is vital. This is especially true if you delegate the task of setting appointments to someone other than the staff member who will be taking the appointment.

 

You need the real-time visibility of knowing when each member of your team is available. If a client needs to reschedule, finding another time slot will be no problem at all.

 

Check out our case study on one of our clients used TrinityCalendar to transform their scheduling process, resulting in 20% increased staff utilization:
