This mobile and home-based business loves Timely's flexibility
Jess Binnendyk runs Tan In The City in Auckland, which is a mobile tanning salon. Her home base is in the suburb of Remuera, and she also offers a mobile service so that clients can get their tanning done in their own home.
Prior to using Timely, she was using a free appointment scheduling software option, and at the end of the day, found that ‘free’ provided no value at all. In Jess’ words, “it was not doing as it should, so Timely was a welcome and very easy change”.
“Timely is a great tool for any salon – easy to use, and you are never without support from the Timely team.”
Timely works with your lifestyle
Jess is the mother of a 20-month-old child, so there is more going on in her life than just work. Luckily her business offers her some flexibility, and she is able to work the hours that suit her. She uses Timely to schedule in when she is available, so clients booking online can clearly see the available time slots. Jess also loves the fact that she can easily block out times she is not available, so she can create a schedule that suits her.
Another great thing for Jess is that she gets an alert when someone makes a booking, so she can get prepared in advance. This feature allows her to focus on her first job of being a stay at home Mum, while still being organised with the salon.
“It alerts me when I get a booking, so I don’t need to be checking constantly.”
The software works easily for a mobile business
Jess needs a scheduling system that works with Tan In The City being both a mobile and home-based business. Customers who want a tanning session in their own home leave their address as they make an appointment, and Timely saves the details in the customer records. “It’s so simple, yet it does the job, and lets me run my business with ease.”
Jess says she chose Timely for her business because it is so simple, which suits her small business. “While the features are there for those that need them, I don’t have to worry about all the bells and whistles. It just does what I want it to.” When she was in the 30-day trial period, she also discovered how user-friendly Timely is. So it didn’t take her much convincing that Timely was the right solution for her!
“It’s a very easy to use functional tool to help anyone run their business with ease.”
