Online booking for security consultants

Independent security consultants advise homeowners, shops, offices and small companies on how to protect people and premises: access control, alarms, cameras, procedures, staff behaviour. The work almost always starts with a conversation, then a visit on site to assess the premises, followed by a written report and a meeting to go through recommendations. Some consultants also run awareness sessions for staff.

Arranging those visits by email takes time on both sides, and prospects often want to act quickly after an incident or before opening new premises. A booking page lets them pick a call or a visit slot straight away.

On Book, each step is a service with its own price and description, and you open slots for each at the length it takes. Put site visits on the days you're travelling and leave time between them for the journey by setting each slot's start and end yourself. Use the description to say what the visit covers, the area you work in, and what the client should prepare (plans, access, existing equipment).

Staff sessions for a company are booked by one organiser; keep their capacity at one and describe the group size in the description.

Clients book without an account and receive a confirmation email; you receive an email for each new booking. Reschedule or cancel from your bookings list, and sync with Google, iPhone or Mac. Book doesn't produce reports, quotes or invoices. It costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited bookings and services, no commission, no contract.

Your page shows times in your business's time zone, with its name displayed, so there's no confusion for clients booking from elsewhere. To fill a regular week quickly, create a slot once and repeat it on the weekdays you choose until an end date.
