Professional Services

For businesses offering professional services like coaching, counseling, cleaning, plumbing, and handyman work, efficient scheduling and client management are essential. Opencals, a powerful booking app for Shopify, provides a comprehensive solution to streamline your operations and enhance client satisfaction.

Efficient Service Provider Management

Managing multiple service providers and their schedules can be complex. Opencals simplifies this process:

• Personalized Weekly Schedules: Create and manage individual recurring schedules for each service provider, including their availability, holidays, and days off. This ensures accurate scheduling and availability for your clients.
• Service-Specific Assignments: Assign providers to specific services they offer. This allows clients to choose their preferred provider when booking, enhancing their experience and satisfaction.

Efficient Location Management for Professionals

For professional services, clear location management helps in client interaction:

Services

• Service-Specific Locations: Differentiate services offered at various offices or online, catering to client preferences and convenience.
• Custom Operating Hours: Set specific hours for consultations based on location, ensuring clients can easily book appointments.

Flexible Service Scheduling

Do you offer services that require special scheduling or are available only during certain times? Opencals accommodates these needs:

• Non-Repeating Schedules: Set up schedules for services that are available only during specific periods. For example, create a schedule for seasonal deep cleaning services, ensuring clients have access to accurate availability and service details.
• Days Off & Holidays Incorporate days off and holidays into staff members' schedules to designate times when they are unavailable.

Integrated Calendar Management

Keeping track of appointments and service provider schedules is crucial for smooth operations. Opencals simplifies this process:

• Calendar Linking: Link your service providers' calendars to Opencals. This integration allows them to view all their appointments without needing access to your admin panel, reducing the risk of missed appointments and ensuring everyone stays organized.

Flexible Service Durations

Professional services often require flexible booking durations, such as extended coaching sessions or varying handyman tasks. Opencals provides the flexibility needed:

• Variable Duration Booking: Allow clients to book services for custom durations. For example, if a one-hour coaching session costs $80, a client can book a two-hour session and pay $160. This feature enhances convenience and maximizes your booking potential.

Group Service Bookings

For services that can accommodate multiple clients at once, such as group coaching sessions or team cleaning services, Opencals supports group bookings:

• Multiple Attendees Per Slot: Set a maximum number of participants per session, allowing multiple clients to book the same time slot. This optimizes your resources and increases your service capacity.

Online Meeting Integrations

If the services you provide are conducted online, Opencals easily integrates with Zoom or Google Meet. When a booking is made, an online meeting is automatically created, and both your service providers and clients will receive invitation links with access details. This integration works seamlessly for both individual and group online sessions, providing a cohesive and efficient virtual experience.

Easy Setup and Integration with Shopify

Integrating Opencals into your Shopify store is straightforward. Follow these steps to get started:

• Install Opencals: Add the Opencals app to your Shopify store from the Shopify App Store.
• Configure Settings: Customize the app settings to match your professional service needs. Set up individual provider schedules, assign services, and link calendars.
