Top 10 Reasons To Use GigaBook

As a business owner, do you feel you’re missing out on opportunities due to being on the phone or working with current clients? Are you feeling bogged down by all the emails and texts that tend to pile up? Missed opportunities will always be there, but with GigaBook, you can reduce missed opportunities while still saving time, money and resources; all resulting in growth.

Hiring an assistant for your business is not only time-consuming; it also involves expending funds and personnel just to reach a final decision.

Employing GigaBook as your online assistant will save much of that hassle, as we never take a break, vacation or holiday.

3. Organization With GigaSync

With a growing business, keeping your appointments, meetings, cancellations, reschedules, etc. can become overwhelming. GigaBook’s GigaSync helps alleviate many of those burdens by syncing with your third-party calendar — keeping your daily and personal life organized — and GigaBook will keep everything updated across all platforms, making sure you are always aware of your business’s goings on. You can also import important calendar items, such as birthdays and holidays.

GigaBook syncs with the following 3rd-party calendars:

• Office 365

4. Alleviate Redundancy

Let’s be honest: When it comes to daily operations within your business, there are many things you and/or your staff don’t want to do. With GigaBook’s invoicing functionality, you have the ability to automate a lot of the redundancy you come across when it comes to timely funds collection. GigaBook integrates with Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net and Braintree payment processing platforms – and with our integration with QuickBooks – you can rest assured knowing you have fast, easy and accurate invoicing and accounting curation/functionality.

• Create new invoices straight from future and past appointments
• Schedule and monitor invoices
• Search for invoices by number or client information

 

5. Get More Done, Keep The Team On-Task

You understand the need for reducing wasted money, time and resources and meeting deadlines in regard to growing a business and continuing to thrive. Oftentimes that requires you and your team becoming more efficient when it comes to getting things done, especially if you have people in the field or out of the office. With GigaBook’s Project Manager feature, you have the ability to:

• Create customized project tickets
• Assign projects to clients or staff
• Leave feedback about ongoing projects
• Edit existing projects
• Customize projects to your needs

If a full-blown project isn’t what you require, there is an option to divvy up daily tasks or help meet deadlines with GigaBook’s to-do lists (second image). This helps keep certain operations organized as well as set goals for staff. With your to-do lists, you can:

• Create new lists
• Add notes for staff
• Sort lists based on priority
• Remove items from lists
• Download to-do reports

 

6. Personalized Email/Text Notifications and Reminders

Being available and keeping in contact with staff and clients can oftentimes become overwhelming. It doesn’t have to be that way. You can miss fewer opportunities by reducing the number of no-show appointments and make sure no one misses a beat. Email and text reminders and notifications are great for sending promotional materials, thank yous, birthday wishes and keeping clients and staff updated about upcoming appointments.

With email and text reminders and notifications customization, you can:

• Create custom messaging
• Edit content templates
• Choose when and what to send
• Allow clients to reschedule or cancel
• Create follow ups

 

7. Group Function Bookings

Growing a business doesn’t always involve simple, one-on-one interactions. Maybe you’d like to host a class, seminar or conference – something that involves a gathering of people in one location. That is where GigaBook’s Group Sessions come in handy.

You can personalize your Group Sessions and do the following:

• Set attendance limits
• Create titles and descriptions
• Collect client information
• Track number of attendees
• Add images
• Determine pricing

(Please Note: Group Sessions must be added to your calendar BEFORE they will appear in your widget for booking.)

 

8. Safe and Thorough Customer Data Collection

When a client schedules an appointment, are you finding yourself having to collect more specific data or ask more specific questions beforehand or during the appointment? GigaBook alleviates much of this for you via custom forms. Users can ask these questions during client on-boarding using GigaBook’s custom forms.

Not only can you specify what info you’d like to collect, you can:

• Choose which widget to include custom forms on
• Create your own specific questions
• Add sub-questions based on answers to other questions
• Preview your custom form(s)
• Create titles and descriptions
• Exclude forms from specific widgets
• And more

 

9. It keeps your finger on the pulse of your business

Your business dashboard is the lifeline of your everyday operations. This allows you to see everything from upcoming appointments, specific calendar views, client lists and more. You can also configure your dashboard to show you exactly what you need and want to see.

Customize your dashboard to display anything from:

• Daily, weekly or monthly calendars
• Clients
• Tips & Tricks
• To-dos/Projects
• Availability
• Business Information
• And much more!
