In choosing Planyo we have a booking system which fulfils all of our requirements and with the help of the development team we have been able to integrate bespoke features as well as automating the customer notification, payment and invoicing procedures.

Q: Describe your experience so far. Planyo was the clear winner for flexibility and ease of setup when choosing our booking system. Our requirement was different to others using Planyo but with a small amount of extra development by the Planyo team we have a booking system which rivals even our largest multi-national competitors. I would happily recommend Planyo to any company which has a requirement for an online booking or reservation system.

Q: Describe your business. Hamann-Softwareentwicklung is a software development firm which specialises on creating individually designed software. No matter do you need an offline or web based application, we can find a solution. It can be developed either based on a commercially used application or we can design a customised software product for you. One of our key projects we are currently working on is MedSurv-Portal. It is an online portal which has been designed to collect and evaluate clinical surveys data from all over the world. Our firm has also recently worked on Ferienresidenz-Roseneck webpage development project. This holiday homes webpage was successfully implemented using Planyo automatic hotel booking and payment system.

Q: Describe your experience so far. We decided in favour of Planyo automatic hotel booking and payment system because it had satisfied most of our requests. The key one was that the system is very flexible and it could be fully integrated into our existing CMS. We also had an opportunity to design a customised booking schedule and configure emails and invoices design to the customer’s needs. Another core strength of Planyo programme is that the system can process payments in addition to booking requests. That was a crucial point for our customer and us. It gives you a possibility to process payments received by using PayPal and credit cards. We liked that Planyo offers an attractive invoice management tool as a part of the system which was a great benefit for our customer. We cann’t also but mentioned that now, when the system is up and running, the administration of the system is very easy and can be done after a brief orientation. It is an user friendly programme in general and all functions offered can be easily used. It was also a great pleasure to work in close collaboration with Planyo on that project. We were getting a constant support when needed. All our requests and questions regarding the system were answered in a prompt manner. In addition, Planyo did some good suggestions coming from their great knowledge of the product and big experience working with other customers. We have implemented most of them and we are very happy with the final product we achieved using Planyo tool.

Alexander Melgui, Hamann-Softwareentwicklung

Q: Describe your business. We are a "brick and mortar" traditional business located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Our service is Massage Therapy. We offer walk-in availability as well as text-message requests and of course the online booking system made available by planyo.

Q: How do you use planyo? We use planyo to provide each therapist as a resource whereby the client can book appointments online. Because of the almost endless parameters available for managing each resource, we are able to restrict availability for each therapist to only their allowed working schedules. We allow up to the minute self-booking because we utilize Planyo as our ONLY scheduling system. Because Planyo does not charge PER appointment, we add our "walk-ins" manually into the system so as to keep our Planyo system accurate at all time. About one-third of our of appointments are self-booked through our websites integration with Planyo ensuring the client never leaves our website. That speaks for itself.

Q: Describe your experience so far. Planyo is without question the best reservation/booking system available. In the massage industry there are MANY options available. But all require so much info of each client and redirecting to third party sites. I have planyo customized to not require an email address to book the appointment and that has increased bookings dramatically. The custom parameters is the KEY to our success. love it! Thank you planyo!

Shonn Piersol, Massage Indy

Q: Describe your business. We are a non-profit organization founded in 1983 by a group of people passionate about the mountains. Today we have more than 700 members. We are located in the Verzasca Valley, in Ticino, Switzerland. We organize activities in the valley (hiking, climbing for kids, families and adults), we take care of the hiking trails and of the mountain huts in Verzasca.

Q: How do you use planyo? We use planyo for reservations of sleeping places in our mountain huts. Before we started using planyo, people had to call or send an email to book. This wasn't efficient because the guardians couldn't always respond immediately. Now this is fully automated with planyo, the number of sleeping places still available for booking is known by the system at all times. The guardians receive an email or SMS (if being in the mountains they have no access to the internet) whenever a new reservation is made. We still leave a part of the places for those who come without reservation.

Q: Describe your experience so far. We are very pleased so far. We had no complaints whatsoever last year and the guardians now spend less time managing the reservations. We hope that with time more people will start reserving because now the booking process is very easy and only takes a minute or so.

SEV - Società Escursionistica Verzaschese

Q: Describe your business. We are a holiday rentals website for people with properties to rent in Edinburgh. Our website is beautiful as well as being pretty complex so landlords can upload their own property details directly to the site and customers can make instant bookings online: This is the bit where we have had to spend lots of time and braincells being creative and where we put lots of demands on Planyo to alter the booking system as well as having them integrate the it to be as bespoke to the site as possible but it looks fantastic so it was worth all the hard work.

Q: How do you use planyo? We use the online payments and each landlord has his own admin for their own property. We also use the Reports utility are also considering using their SMS in the future.

Q: Describe your experience so far. Leanne (Programmer) from the Elastic Creative design team has done most of the direct dealing with Planyo and she can't sing their praises enough. The planyo team has been incredibly efficient and has made the many, many changes we asked for as they were put to him over a period of months and we were only invoiced a small fee for any chargeable work. Planyo seemed keen to take on this complex project as it was different (more demanding maybe!) from any they had previously seen and their enthusiasm for a challenge was refreshing. I did have a couple of queries recently and I have to agree that my questions were answered very promptly and the team was extremely efficient and open, so top marks for customer service.

Q: How do you use planyo? [planyo admin note: used on a login-protected site]

Q: Describe your business. DentFix Pro is a private dental practice business started in 2007 in Bucharest, Romania. Currently in Romania this kind of business is ran on a paper documents basis, some few just use a simple contact form on their web sites to submit reservation requests with telephone follow-up. We believe that Planyo is a great addition to any kind of practice working with the public that needs to keep a unique and transparent agenda for its resources.

Q: How do you use planyo? Currently we have one resource (medic) but we plan to expand the business in short time and hire more medics. We also have medical assistant on staff. There is a business administrator that can also access the Planyo admin area but the medical assistant is the main admin user in charge with the receptionist duties. As the business expands this role would be taken by a full time receptionist job. We also use Moneybookers integration to get a small fee in order to confirm the reservation but the payment is not mandatory since we need our patients to learn the new web tools first. We are using advanced integration is Wordpress and we prefill the reservation form with data from the wordpress user profile if the user is authenticated. If the user chooses so, he or she can receive a SMS reminder before the actual appointment time.

Q: Describe your experience so far. We selected Planyo for several reasons:
- Easy to integrate in our Wordpress based platform
- Availability in all languages we plan to expand our website (as dentistry in Romania is of good quality but less expensive than in other EU countries so patients might just choose to fix their teeth and have a nice vacation trip at the same time and within the same budget)
- Existing integration with Moneybookers that can process our fees in local currency (RON)
- Outstanding support we received even before starting to pay for the service

Q: Describe your business. Tamarindo Hostel is the first hostel in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. We accommodate backpackers and low-budget-travellers. We provide private room accommodations as well as dormbeds.

Q: How do you use planyo? I use planyo to make accurate reservations, right now I only use one admin (me) and I don´t use online payments yet. I do use the advanced integration with google calendar, it´s very useful, as well as the email notifications (they arrive to our mobile so it´s easy to get ready for a coming customer).

Q: Describe your experience so far. I speciffically like Planyo reservation system because I like the organized way to book every single reservation, it gives a number to the reservations as well as the customer, and I can asign a color to reservations with different requests (ex, those requesting airport pick ups are in green) and another thing that I like is that every message between customer and me gets registered under the reservation in question. I also LOVE the integration to google calendar (Planyo is improving this integration) so my staff can check all the reservations booked for the day with all the information they need to recieve the customers. I can even customize different sort of reports to have a better look at your bussiness.

My name is Angela Bendeck and I am the owner of Tamarindo Hostel

Leonilo Tutor - owner

Q: Describe your business. We are are small ski chalet business, running both catered and self catered chalets.

Q: How do you use planyo? We have only just gone live with Planyo - the system is already proving highly successful and we calculate that the system will save us a tremendous amount of time and also enable us to manage the business much more effectively.
We use Planyo for running and managing the end to end bookings process, this includes:
a) taking the initial enquiries from customers on the planyo reservations form and holding the reservation for a day or two until they pay
b) on line deposit and final balance payment (with options to pay by card over the phone if clients prefer this - planyo keeps a record )
c) Planyo will send out automated e-mails: at time of initial reservation with booking information attached, when final balance payment is due and before the client arrives - to ensure we have their time of arrival, if they want to book additional products for example: skis/boots fitted at the chalet, transfers, or meals cooked at the chalet.
d) automated e-mails after the client has left to ask for feedback.
We are using advanced integration, we will be producing weekly reports of clients who will be arriving and their individual needs - this is so we can prepare for each clients specific requirements (we used to spend hours pulling this information together and Planyo will do this automatically - based on data which the customer enters - all we do is have the automated e-mails ask the clients to complete the forms!)

Q: Describe your experience so far. Planyo is a very flexible system and Rafael [from the planyo team] is absolutely brilliant in supporting his customers and carrying out changes to meet needs. We approached this project with a good understanding of the business requirements - which are quite complex - and I am delighted we have been able to work with Rafael in implementing this.

Q: How do you use planyo?
