reservation system for
your business

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.

Calendar synchronization lets you connect the reenio system with an external calendar. This is typically a connection with Google Calendar, and is set up simply by logging in with your Google account and granting access.

Reservations created in the reenio system will appear in your calendar, but the reverse doesn't happen – reservations aren't created from events in your Google Calendar (the booking process is complex enough that a calendar event alone isn't sufficient). In the other direction, i.e. from Google Calendar into the reenio system, synchronization is therefore only limited – events can be synchronized as time blocks, so that no new reservation can be created for that particular date and time.

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.

Connect your reservation page with Google Analytics or the Facebook Pixel and track how successful your campaigns are, gaining important data. At the same time, you can use the system to communicate with customers in an automated and efficient way, retaining them, motivating them, or gathering feedback.

You can add tracking code for Google Analytics, the Facebook Pixel, or similar tools to your reservation page, and track visitor behaviour as well as conversions from advertising campaigns.

The reenio reservation system also offers a whole range of tools for staying in touch with customers at different stages of the customer lifecycle. For example, using custom messages, you can automatically send a satisfaction survey shortly after an event ends and gather feedback without having to reach out to customers manually. In the same way, a customer who hasn't made a booking for a while can be encouraged to return with a reminder or offer, or you can wish them a happy birthday or name day and add a gift coupon straight away. Thanks to tags, customers can also be automatically sorted according to which service they used, and you can work with them further in a targeted way as part of your own marketing activities.

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.

Handle payments received in person on the spot too – mark a reservation as paid, generate an accounting document, and print it directly on a POS printer, or accept a card payment right away through a connected payment terminal.

The cash register feature lets you mark a reservation as paid directly in the administration, even when the payment took place outside the online payment gateway, for example in cash at reception. The system can then issue a corresponding accounting document for the payment received this way, respecting the configured document numbering, and so on.

For card payments, the system can also be connected to a payment terminal (SumUp, GP Tom, Comgate), which means a payment request can be sent to the terminal directly with a button in the reservation detail, and after a successful payment the system automatically marks the reservation as paid, creates the payment and document, and sends the customer a confirmation by e-mail, just like with payment via the online gateway.

Run an arbitrarily varied range of services on a single reservation page – one-off events, recurring courses, space rentals, and ticket sales all at the same time? The reenio reservation system can cover even these complex business models.

The reenio reservation system is not limited to just a single type of offering – within one page, you can create any number of resources (places, services, employees) and assign each of them the type of event that best suits that particular offering. This means an hourly court rental via interval events, a monthly yoga course as a full sequence, a one-off seminar as a full single event, and the sale of punch cards or gift coupons, can all run side by side – all on one reservation page and in one administration.

Clarity for such a varied offering is provided by a navigation hub, which can be set up as a multi-step guide, walking the customer through it step by step (e.g. first choosing a service, then an employee or branch).

Last but not least, thanks to collision protection over time, the system also automatically makes sure the same resource (e.g. a specific employee or room) never ends up in two reservations at once, even when it's used across different event and resource types.

Offer customers a classic bank transfer payment option too, for cases where you don't need instant confirmation – ideal for reservations made well in advance.

Bank transfer payment in the reenio system is especially useful where the deadline for mandatory payment of a reservation is three days or more, or where payment isn't a condition for the reservation to be created at all. The advantage of this approach is that everything happens purely within the reservation system and the bank, without needing an online payment gateway set up. Another advantage is lower costs for processing payments. The downside, on the other hand, is that checking, synchronizing, and the speed of payments is more complex.

The system provides the customer with the payment details (account number, amount, variable symbol – also in the form of a popular payment QR code) needed to send the payment, and based on the variable symbol, the payment can then be traced and matched to a specific reservation or, in the case of gift coupons, a purchase. Matching can be done manually directly in the administration, or automatically – you just need to set up your supported bank to send notifications of incoming payments to a unique e-mail address. As soon as such a notification arrives from the bank, the system matches the payment based on the variable symbol and marks the reservation as paid itself.

Bank transfer is usually also available as one of the methods within the online payment gateway, though in that case enabling it is more of a complication, since it combines completely different payment methods into a single solution. As with other payment methods, the system automatically issues and sends the customer the relevant accounting document the moment the payment is matched.

Tailor the reservation system to your business – whether you run a sports facility, a beauty salon, a rental business, or organize educational courses, the system can flexibly respond to the various needs and ideas linked to your particular type of business. Of course, it's still a universal cloud system rather than a custom-built solution, so some very specific ideas about how it should work or look might not actually be achievable.

The system offers a wide range of settings that make it easier to tailor booking to your specific customers and business. The foundation of this flexibility is the different event types (Full single event, Intervals, Full sequence, Any time, Multi-day, Coupon, Seat reservation), from which you can choose the most suitable one – from one-off workshops, through hourly rentals of sports facilities, to multi-day stays or selling event tickets.

Building on this foundation is a whole range of further settings that let you fine-tune the process further: custom booking forms for collecting specific data, various types of prices and discounts, online payments and payment by credit, reservation approval, waiting lists, collision protection between resources, or automated communication using system and custom messages. Thanks to user roles, you can also involve your whole team with correctly set permissions, and connect the reservation system to other systems as needed via the API or webhooks.

So the system grows together with your business – from a simple setup with minimal configuration, all the way to a comprehensive solution using most of the available features at once.

Offer your customers gift coupons for your services, and at the same time let them buy gift coupons online – the customer immediately receives their coupon by e-mail and can give it as a gift or use it right away.

Gift coupons are part of the broader discount coupon and punch card functionality, with a similar approach and possible uses for all these tools. You create a coupon with predefined parameters – a set validity period, discount amount, or value – and assign it to specific events it can be applied to (so you can have different coupons for different service offerings, or events that don't accept coupons at all). The customer then receives a coupon code, either directly from you or through an online purchase.

• One-off redeemable amount

  A classic coupon with a fixed monetary value, typically for one-off use as a gift.

• Percentage discount

  A discount coupon for a proportional amount, typically suitable for giving to new customers or as a punch card, etc.

• Gradually redeemable amount

  The coupon has a certain monetary value which is used up gradually – a form of virtual wallet.

• No discount

  A type of coupon that doesn't adjust the price at all, but can be used, for example, to restrict reservations to a limited group of customers.

For genuine gift coupons, the ability to create your own design (PDF) is important, reflecting not just your visual style and intended use, but also allowing space for a dedication and so on.

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.
