10to8 Appointment Scheduling Software is easy to get started with and use, which is best proven by the number of bookings made in the first hour. In fact, 23% of businesses, who sign up to 10to8 are ready to book an appointment online in the first hour.

10to8 lets you add staff members easily, and tailor their permission role as you wish. You can also set up multiple locations and assign employees to the places where they’re needed. Another great option is to provide services at your client’s location, so if you are a private teacher, dog groomer or children’s entertainer, this is the feature for you.

Not everybody works from 9 AM to 5 PM, and some have varied working hours. While setting up availability,  you can play with the timezones, tweak opening hours and use extensions to match your 10to8 calendar to your life- and workstyle.

If you are a service-based business, then you’ll probably find it useful to add as many services to your account, as you need. You can change their durations as well as add buffer time, so if your client is a bit late, you need a huge latte before the next appointment or want to check your social media profiles, you’ll have some time to spare. With your services ready to book, there’s nothing more left than design a great booking page with your logo, a stylish header and a stunning description of your business. You can also add booking buttons, forms and widgets to your website and social media.

Importing data is easy-peasy too: whether you are using a CRM tool or a simple email or phone number list as a customer database, you can add that to your account in a few minutes. You might want to sync your calendars with 10to8 in order to avoid double-bookings and annoyingly long admin time.
