Public PUBLIC SECTOR SCHEDULING SOFTWARE

Boost efficiency and productivity in your service delivery

A scalable and flexible solution that significantly improves value and convenience for clients when accessing public services.

PUBLIC SECTOR SCHEDULING SOFTWARE

Modern, digital public services

Public organisations are constantly under pressure to modernise processes, while also reducing costs and managing resources more efficiently. Clients demand a choice of services whether online or in-person, free of errors or technical issues. An online scheduling solution helps meet these expectations by digitising admin tasks, managing resources more efficiently, providing multi-channel access and automating communications.

How TIMIFY helps

Effortless online booking

Effortless online booking

Our easy-to-use software is designed to provide a smooth, quick and transparent service offering, 24/7.

It allows clients to book services from multiple touchpoints, while drop-in clients can join a virtual queue, helping to avoid unnecessary wait times. Once an appointment is made, reminders and notifications are sent automatically, reducing no-shows and miscommunications.

01
Boost resource productivity

Increase resource productivity

Employees can easily schedule their availability in advance, differentiating between their working hours and availability for bookings in the shared calendar.

Easily assign employees to the services they work on, automating the reservation of essential rooms and equipment every time a booking is received. Utilise in-depth statistics to optimise resource usage and allocation.

02
Improve communication and convenience

Improve communication and convenience

Let clients book directly with a particular department or staff member. Customise booking forms to give a full service description for clients, while also gathering essential data to allow staff to prepare. Automate the sending of booking notifications and reminders via email and/or SMS.
