Use a No-Code Appointment Scheduling App to Ensure Workplace Safety in 2021
January 14, 2021
As the New Year starts and governments roll out vaccination plans, businesses are gaining confidence to reopen workplaces to both employees and customers.
But make no mistake — the risk of infection remains high.
That’s why it’s essential to manage the flow of people in and out of your workplace with an appointment scheduling application. Here’s how you can quickly launch the app and ensure workplace safety in 2021.
How Appointment Scheduling Software Can Help
A custom appointment scheduling system is the most efficient way to manage the influx of employees and customers on your premises.
An online appointment scheduler will enable you to book and manage client meetings on the cloud, so you can use it even while you’re working remotely. It features a calendar for tracking past and upcoming visits and gives you a bird’s eye view of all appointments for the month.
Online appointment scheduling systems are useful for any industry or type of business, including:
Patient Scheduling for Healthcare
Patient scheduling systems lessen the burden of healthcare professionals. With patient appointments scheduled in advance, hospitals and other healthcare facilities gain the ability to proactively plan resource allocation, increase efficiency and reduce stress among in-duty workers.
Appointment Booking for Government
Government offices that provide licenses, permits and other common services are often crowded. Expect more people if the offices have initiatives related to the pandemic, such as processing of relief packages. Regulate the number of people on-site by setting appointment slots and using an appointment scheduler to organize visitor flow. Deploy these low-code apps for government agencies to further streamline public services, too.
In-Store Traffic Management for Retail and Small Businesses
In most states, the number of people allowed in an indoor location is still kept to a minimum. This is a challenge for retail stores, restaurants and other SMBs that rely on the steady flow of customers to their premises. Appointment scheduling systems enable you to implement by-appointment or reservation-only policies to maximize your space and resources. Customers won’t have to wait in line to enter your store, eliminating crowding.
