SmartAPPOINT
>>>>>>>>

This is your first chance to check out a new real-time online appointment service called SmartAPPOINT. Integrated into the CeBit website, pre registered visitors can make appointments with exhibitors.
This software has been particularly useful for doctors, nail artists, beauticians etc. It allows customers to go on line and book themselves into the live appointment diary. The customer will then get an SMS message on their mobile phone 24 hours before the appointment as a reminder. This software is being used already and has resulted in a 75% drop in no-shows at booked appointments for businesses using it.

smartAPPOINT is through Irwin Solutions:

Cost: There is an initial set up cost of $500 and then an ongoing charge of $100 per month.
