There should be a process in your online scheduling software that allows integration of meetings booked online to that of booked by other means.

• Your online scheduling system should be well programmed to keep proper record of appointment scheduling, re-scheduling, and cancellation. It should adjust the calendar according to the development of appointment and free the particular time slot in case of cancellation of appointments.

In addition to this it should be light-weight and people with slow Internet connection should also be able to lot into it and make appointments.

• An online scheduling system should also take into account varying time slots depending upon the type of service required. For example, a full session of fitness training should last at least one hour whereas a general consultation should end it fifteen minutes. The scheduling system should have the flexibility to assign the different length of time depending upon the type of appointments.
