Appointment scheduling software

[rico]

Hey.

Asking on behalf of a family friend. She's wanting to modernise her massage / beauty treatment business. She isn't sure what software to use for appointment schedules. I suggested Outlook would do for her, but is there some other more specialised software thats recommended? She might be adding assistants in the near future so a multi-user program would be best.

Thanks for any pointers for me to pass on

Outlook can do this no problems.

Yep, Outlook will easily do this.

There is a scheduling function for coordination of different people - works well I believe.

We use outlook and easily compatible with PDAs for multi users, or "out of office" scheduling.

I've written something for where I work that does multi user scheduling. Works best with lots of data and users though and would be overkill in this case.
Hence another vote for Outlook for me....

If she goes multi-site, with lots of staff - drop me a line!

Cheers. Will pass on

How do you set Outlook up to do a 20 minute appointment. I can set 10,15,30 1 hr appointments but no 20 mins. At the moment I book 2 10 minutes together but it only takes someone new to book me 10 mins and I get behind very quickly.

You can manually type in the start and end times. Ignore what's in the dropdown list, just type over it. Works on Outlook 2000 anyway.
