More Companies Embracing Online Scheduling

Appointment-Plus helps a rapidly rising consumer base take a step further into the digital age.

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) December 16, 2005 -- Appointment-Plus –an industry leader in online scheduling software– recently surpassed its millionth scheduled appointment. This milestone arrives in the wake of a rapid growth-spurt within the online scheduling industry, and confirms the industry’s status as a major force in the world of Internet services.

Although the concept is new, more and more organizations are moving from paper-based scheduling to Web-based scheduling. By eliminating the need to book appointments over the phone, online scheduling has begun to assert itself as a necessary tool for a wide range of businesses; from salons and massage therapists, to tax accountants and call centers. Since its inception five years ago, Appointment-Plus is already providing service to over a thousand locations worldwide, and the rapid rise shows no sign of slowing any time soon.

“Over the past year we’ve seen an exponential increase in the number and types of businesses signing on. Industries previously resistant to online scheduling are now embracing the concept,” said Appointment-Plus President Robert La Loggia.

Fueling the growth in online scheduling is the ease of which it is implemented. Companies can set up their account, add a link to their current web site, and be accepting online appointments within a couple of hours. And for those organizations that prefer not to open up their schedule to their customers, appointment systems come with a back end administrative interface. Since this is also web-based, it can oftentimes replace costly internal networks.
