・Specify the date and time to use

・Check availability and when you can make a reservation

・Application for rental equipment

How can we build a reservation site for such rental offices and rental conference rooms?

Let's consider different methods.

How to build a reservation site for rental offices and rental conference rooms

Now, let's take a concrete look at how to actually build a reservation site for rental offices and rental conference rooms.

XNUMX: Built by combining services such as Wix, Google Forms, and Google Calendar

XNUMX: Utilize reservation site construction services such as RESERVA and STORES reservation

XNUMX: Build a site from scratch with full scratch development

Let's compare each of these four methods.

XNUMX: Built by combining services such as Wix, Google Forms, and Google Calendar

First, let's consider the case of building a reservation site by combining various tools and services that can be used free of charge.In this case, the cost is cheap, but various problems arise in terms of functionality, convenience, and trustworthiness of the site.

For example, the flow of the customer experience, such as clicking on an available time from the booking calendar to make a reservation, is usually not possible with such a combination of free services.In addition, it is difficult to introduce online payment, and even if it can be implemented, the wiring design will be difficult to understand, which may cause frequent troubles.

There are also concerns about security.Each service itself has solid security, but when multiple free services are combined and used cross-sectionally, security risks tend to increase.

In addition, it is difficult to realize sufficient functions for measures such as customer information management and marketing.

The design and branding of the site cannot be applied sufficiently, and it will be a site that feels "handmade" and "patchwork".On such reservation sites, it becomes difficult for customers to make reservations with their personal information in safe hands.

XNUMX: Utilize reservation site construction services such as RESERVA and STORES reservation

Currently, most rental offices and rental conference rooms are likely to use these services to build reservation sites.The basic functions and design for building a reservation site are prepared as a set, and it is possible to easily build a reservation site simply by registering for use of the service.

However, on the other hand, when it comes to reservation sites for rental offices and rental conference rooms,Although there is no lack of functionality, there are also aspects that can not be said to be sufficient.

For example, if you have multiple rooms (meeting rooms and offices), it is necessary to set up a reservation calendar for each, but depending on the tool, this may not be possible.again,The number of hours for renting a rental office or conference room varies from customer to customer, but with a general reservation site construction service, it is difficult to realize a reservation system that allows users to freely apply for the required time.

In this way, although it is necessary and sufficient, it tends to become a reservation site with the impression of "one more step". it would be nice

XNUMX: Build a site from scratch with full scratch development

There is also a method of building a site from scratch with full scratch development.In this case, you can build your own unique site, so it is characterized by a relatively high degree of freedom.On the other hand, the budget and man-hours are also large-scale, so in reality, it tends to be difficult for companies that do not have a certain scale to undertake full-scale development.
