Product overview

Why?

In wedding season, double-booking a hall, digging through a notebook to see who paid what deposit, or forgetting an instalment date costs a business dearly. The Booking Management System brings all of this onto one screen and works on phone and computer alike.

Who is it for?

  • Venues: wedding halls, henna venues, party / event houses, gardens, hotel and restaurant halls
  • Services: bands, DJs, photo / video, event planning, decoration / flowers, sound & light rental

Choose your business type when you first sign in; hall or team names, afternoon/evening sessions, event types and the special fields on the booking card (menu, song requests, shoot type…) are set up for you.

What's included?

  • Calendar: month, week, day and list views; click an empty day to start a booking
  • No double bookings: a hall that has an on-hold or confirmed booking can't take a second one at the same time; you see "free / taken" before saving
  • Booking card: customer, event type, session, guests, packages and extras, discount, notes and change history
  • Payment tracking: one-click deposit and instalment plan, payments, remaining balance, overdue list
  • Receipts: numbered payment receipts, downloadable as PDF or emailed to the customer
  • Customers: records, conversation notes, "how did they find us", WhatsApp button
  • Email reminders: a daily summary for you every morning; reminders for your customer 7 days before the event and 3 days before each instalment
  • Turkish and English

Free and Premium

The free plan never expires and bookings are unlimited: 1 business, 1 hall / team, 1 user.

Premium (€19 per year, charged in TL at the day's rate): multiple halls / teams and branches, staff logins and permissions, hold deadlines (the date is released automatically when a hold expires), reports and Excel export, branded receipts and contract templates (customer, date, price and payment plan filled in automatically; PDF and email), customer links (your customer sees their booking, payments, receipts and contract without signing in) and song lists (filled in by the customer, printable for DJs and bands) and crew assignment (who works which job, their fee and what is still owed; warning for double bookings) and a public availability calendar (show your free dates on Instagram and your website; customer names and amounts stay hidden) date-based pricing (weekend, season and holiday prices applied to bookings automatically) delivery tracking (album, clip and photo deliveries with overdue warnings) and an accounting link (payments go to the customer's account card and your cash account in novapp Accounting in one click).

New members get all Premium features free for 30 days. When the trial ends you continue on the free plan; none of your data is deleted.
