Overview
For partners/retailers/OEMs whose end consumers want to book and manage appointments for their vehicle service. Service Appointment Booking provides endpoints to allow 24/7 hassle free and easy to use appointment booking facility where time slots are checked in real time against availability captured in Keyloop’s Dealer Management Systems.
Keep track of every appointment
Service Appointment Booking is integrated with your DMS, so every booked and cancelled appointment is automatically recorded there. No more making calls back and forth to find a suitable date – with Service Appointment Booking, you and your customers find the right time, first time, and can plan accordingly.
Faster, more efficient administration
Automating the booking process saves time and resources, freeing up your team to deal with other matters. The system automatically knows which timeslots are available – there’s no need to leaf through diaries or go back and forth. And, because cancelled appointments are directly transmitted into your DMS, those slots can be re-booked.
Better planning
You can be confident that everything in the diary is accurate and up to date, it becomes easier to plan around appointments – for your team and your customers. Your staff will know exactly what’s coming up and what might be needed, while your customers will appreciate the reliability of the service.
Increased customer satisfaction
It’s not just the reliability of service that your customers will appreciate. Service Appointment Booking is a digital system that offers 24/7 access – something that today’s customers, in an increasingly busy and digitised world, are coming to expect. Wherever they are, whatever device they’re on and whatever time it is, they have a simple, hassle-free way to book.
