How Are Worldwide Businesses Using Tablein in Different Spheres?

Initially let’s make it clear why businesses are integrating the reservation systems in their business management. What are the key requirements for such tool? And, what features define an advanced reservation management? 

1. 1. Accurate Real-time Bookings. The reservation system is not equal to a request one. Thus, all the available dates, times and specific choices should be clearly visible on the booking calendar, and reservations – instantly confirmed. This automatic feature is extremely convenient both for the client and the service provider.
   2. Time –saving Channel Management. One of the most time-consuming, confusing and complicated tasks is to manage reservations coming from different business channels (websites, social media, apps). Thus, every reservation system must be capable of receiving the bookings from all those channels and synchronising them to a single calendar. Here’s a simple key to the smooth management and eliminated risk of overbookings.
   3. Clear Reporting. The booking calendar, occupancy rates, frequency according to the time (days/hours) or special offers, payment statuses, revenues and all the relevant data should be generated immediately and explicitly. Preferably, with just one click.
   4. Smooth Group reservation management. Many businesses report the issues emerging while managing group reservations. Fortunately, online booking systems allow to manage the reservations efficiently, saves time and eliminates the risk of mistakes.
   5. Triggering Special promotions and discounts. Despite the business sphere, discounts and promotions are always present. The reservation system, which allows the flexible display of them, is always desirable.
   6. Automatic communication. None of the reservation systems might be valued if the tool still requires additional manual work. Every communication back and forth with clients should be automated: let it be a booking confirmation, reminder or feedback request. It’s time-saving and convenient when managing not only the reservations but the business in general too.
   7. Convenient Client data management. Data about each reservation should be seen easily, and privacy requirements must remain high as well as secure. Moreover, the data should be easily accessible for all the responsible staff members (extremely important if the business is operating on a shift-change basis).
   8. Effective Workflow management. Where the business is related to people service, it is extremely important to foresee the awaiting flow and its intensity. It helps to manage the workflow, predict the required number of employees, order the necessary amount of products.
   9. One-click Prepayments. Flexible payment options are beneficial due to many reasons. They help to avoid no-shows, allow anticipating the guaranteed flow and simplify accounting. None of the clients should physically come to the place in order to make a payment. It’s such a time-saving tool for business employees! In case of force majeure situation, money could be refunded for the guest with just one click. Moreover, despite the country where the reservation system is being used, all the payments should be handled in local currency; thus, the choice must be existent.
   10. Multilingual management. Each business is willing the reservation system to be adapted to their mother tongue, so the choice of languages is critical. Moreover, the easy switch to a foreign language must be available too to become approachable for international clients.
