Find the booking workflow that fits your business

BookAvi is a flexible booking-management system for service, appointment, hire and event businesses. Most businesses fall into one of four patterns — pick yours to see how the journey works.

Appointments

Customers book into a scheduled slot with you or a member of staff.

Choose service → choose staff and time → reserve or pay → confirmation

  • Fixed-length slots, often repeated weekly
  • Availability tied to each staff member
  • Rescheduling and no-shows are the daily reality

Services

You deliver work at a customer address, a venue or online.

Enquiry → estimate or quote → booking → work completed → payment

  • Price depends on the job, not a fixed menu
  • Travel time and postcode matter
  • Invoices are often raised after the visit

Hires

Equipment, spaces or products go out for a set period and come back.

Enquiry → availability check → quote → deposit → reserved → collection and return

  • The same item cannot go to two customers at once
  • Bookings run across days, not hours
  • Deposits and damage terms are standard

Events

One date, a package of services, staff and kit to allocate.

Enquiry → quote → contract → deposit → event calendar → balance payment

  • Booked months ahead against a single date
  • Packages, add-ons and travel charges
  • Contracts, final details and job sheets

Not sure which one you are?

Plenty of businesses are a mix — a venue that also hires equipment, or a photographer who takes both appointments and event bookings. You can switch parts of BookAvi on and off, so start with the closest match.
