reservation system for
your business

The reservation system can automatically inform customers, as well as admins and employees, about what's happening around reservations – you can set up system notifications according to your needs and the way you operate.

System notifications are automatic e-mails and SMS messages that the system sends on behalf of your reservation page without any further action on your part. These include confirmation of a successful reservation, confirmation of cancellation, confirmation of payment, reservation approval, a PDF with reservation codes, a reminder of an upcoming event, and more.

For each event type in the settings, you determine which channel it should be sent through – e-mail, SMS, or both – and, if relevant, how far in advance. For example, a reminder about an upcoming event can be sent 24 hours and also 3 hours in advance. Sending, of course, assumes you have the corresponding customer contact details available.

• For customers

  All communication and information from the system to the customer, including a reminder so a reservation doesn't lapse unnecessarily.

• For administrators

  To provide a basic overview of what's happening in the system without needing to constantly check and log into the administration.

• For employees

  Ideal when a specific employee needs to be notified that a reservation for their services has been made and they need to plan for it.

Unlike custom messages, these are messages with a fixed, predefined content reflecting reservation information – their content or form cannot be freely edited, only when and to whom they are sent can be configured.

The reenio system is under continuous, ongoing development, which brings new features, integrations with other tools and devices, and improvements to existing features and elements of the administration and the reservation page. Development follows both the needs of users and their businesses, as well as developments in the technology world – new technical solutions or web technologies are gradually incorporated into the system so that every user can work with them effectively.

Development also automatically responds to current formal and legislative requirements, for example in the area of personal data protection (GDPR) or obligations related to reporting illegal content or online withdrawal from a contract. Thanks to this, you can run the reservation system in compliance with current rules without having to track and address every legislative change yourself.

Thanks to the system's concept, which uses cloud technologies for its operation and works as SaaS (Software as a Service), it always holds true that new features or updates are available to all users. The availability of these features and changes is always automatic, and the user doesn't need to carry out any system update or installation.

You can find an overview of news and current changes on an ongoing basis in the documentation or in the system's administration.

Collect the documents you need from customers directly during the booking process – consents, confirmations, photos, or other files, which you'll always have on hand for a specific reservation or customer. Similarly, you can also store documents for a specific customer and have a complete profile with their history.

The storage feature lets customers upload, and the system store, files linked to a specific reservation or customer profile. Typical uses include various confirmations, powers of attorney, photos, or copies of documents needed to provide the service – anything that makes communication and the delivery of the service itself easier, because you already have the documents available at the time of booking.

File uploads are added to the booking form using custom forms as a separate form field. A file can also be collected during the customer registration process, through a similar extension of the registration form. Another option is managing files directly in the administration, where you can typically work with them within a specific customer's detail page.

Offer customers the option to save their ticket, reservation, or coupon directly to their phone, in an app they already know and use – Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

The reenio system lets customers add the QR code for a reservation or ticket directly to their Apple or Google system wallet, so the customer doesn't need to look up a confirmation e-mail or print a document – the code is saved right on their phone, where they can easily find it when they arrive.

The same option can also be used with coupons – meaning QR codes for gift coupons, discount codes, and punch cards. For a coupon that's drawn down gradually, this solution has one huge advantage: the customer can see their current balance directly in their phone's wallet.

For the customer, this is primarily about convenience and a lower risk of losing or forgetting a ticket or coupon – for you, it means a somewhat smoother and faster check-in process for tickets and coupons.

Connect the reservation system to other applications, smart devices, or automation processes according to your own needs, using the API (Application Programming Interface).

Being able to use the API interface brings a completely new perspective on how you can work with the data managed and provided by the reservation system. Using HTTP-based queries, you can retrieve specific data about reservations, customer overviews, accounting documents, code lists, and more.

Another important element in this regard is so-called Webhooks. These are notifications that can notify any external system, based on an event that has occurred, that a new reservation has been made, that a payment has been received, and so on. Combining Webhook notifications with subsequently retrieving data via the API can result in a comprehensive implementation of your own data-processing logic.

So if you need to build your own statistics dashboards, control lighting in a hall based on ongoing reservations, turn on sauna heating, or communicate with a smart lock, and so on, then using the API offered by the reservation system is essential. A typical use is also a direct connection to automation services such as Make or Home Assistant. What data and methods the API provides (mostly access to data) is described in detail in the documentation.

Want to know how satisfied your customers are? Just send them a request for a review once the event has ended. The reservation system can help with this and can automatically send, store, and process satisfaction surveys from customers.

Gathering feedback works by combining two features – a review form and custom messages. The review form defines the custom questions of various types that you want answers to, as well as a star rating. This form can then be linked to a custom message, which ensures it's sent to the customer according to defined rules and based on a specific event.

Easily get data about reservations and customers out of the reenio system, and then work with it in Excel, using AI, or use it for importing into other systems, for example for e-mail marketing.

Overviews of reservations and customers can be easily exported to Excel at any time, including data from your own custom booking and registration forms.

Besides a simple data export, the reservation system can also be connected to other systems using the API or webhooks, letting you pass data programmatically and in real time, as well as work with it at the level of its data structure.

A reservation in the reenio system doesn't have to mean just a booked slot in a calendar – it can also mean a ticket. It's just a different way of looking at what you're offering customers, what they're buying, and how the whole process then unfolds.

Every reservation carries everything you'd expect from a ticket – a unique code, a QR code for quick check-in, and information about the time and exactly what it can be used for. From this perspective, selling tickets is a fundamental way of using the reservation system. A ticket is often understood as a document that, for example, matches the visual identity of an event and also contains additional information. All of this can also be provided in the reenio system, where you can create your own design for the reservation confirmation = the look and content of the ticket.

The customer receives their ticket by e-mail right after payment, can save it to their Apple or Google Wallet, and you simply scan it with the mobile app at the entrance. If you want to sell tickets for events, it's really nothing more than a reservation with online payment and a custom confirmation design.

Offer customers a booking for an entire course or cycle of lessons at once – the event is always booked as a single unit, rather than day by day separately.

This event type is fairly specific and lets you define a set of events that are always booked together as a single unit. A typical example is a course taking place every Monday from 9 to 11 for 3 months – a customer doesn't book each Monday separately, but rather books the whole course at once, as an indivisible sequence.

A sequence can also be edited, by using recurrence for the event and then editing individual occurrences, which ensures that all events remain part of the defined sequence. So it's no problem to create a sequence with Monday sessions at 5pm and Wednesday sessions at 7pm.

A sequence is particularly suited to dance courses, swimming courses, educational courses, language classes, kids' clubs, and similar recurring activities.

Set prices for customers exactly to match your offering – different customer categories, discounts for longer bookings or bookings made well in advance, discount coupons, and any combination of all of these.

The price of a reservation in the reenio system doesn't have to be just a single fixed number – the system provides tools to price your offering intelligently and precisely, in line with how your business works. You can set different pricing categories, for example admission for an individual or a family, which are then automatically factored into the reservation based on the customer's choice.

On top of that, you can tailor the price to the specific circumstances of the reservation – for example, giving a discount to customers who book well in advance, or setting a different rate for a longer stay or rental. Thanks to a custom booking form, you can then easily offer add-on services or a discount for a selected group of customers.

For marketing campaigns and controlled access to selected events, discount coupons are useful, with their own settings for validity and number of uses – whether it's a one-off promotion, a loyalty discount, or a closed group for whom you only open up an event when the corresponding code is used.

The power of this pricing approach lies in the fact that all these tools can be combined and used together as needed. The final price always reflects exactly how you want to offer your services and what the customer themselves chooses.

Don't let customers create reservations online without your say – decide for yourself which reservation to approve. This is useful anywhere a booking request needs to be reviewed first, before you actually assign the customer an event.

The reservation approval feature changes the standard process so that a reservation created by a customer isn't approved right away, but first waits for your approval in the administration. After creating a reservation, the customer is informed that their reservation is awaiting approval, and receives final confirmation (and, if applicable, a prompt for online payment) only once you approve, or alternatively reject, the reservation.

This is useful anywhere you want full control over how events are filled – for example for individual consultations, where you first need to check whether a time slot is suitable, for services that require related preparations to be arranged, or anywhere you want to prevent random or unsuitable reservations.

Offer customers a booking at exactly the time that works for them and for you – they don't have to fit into predefined time blocks like with the Interval type; they simply choose the start and length according to the event's settings.

With the Any time event type, you define a time window within which a booking is possible, and further settings determine in what time increments a reservation can start and how long it can last. This is suitable where opening hours are the basis, and it's typically used for providing various services such as renting spaces, massages, hairdressing, tanning, or personal meetings.

Combined with collision protection, this type offers a very flexible way to offer various services, at different prices and with different durations, in such a way that booking one service blocks the offering of other services at the same time.
