An appointment system works by allowing clients to book appointments available slots through a calendar interface. The system sends confirmations and reminders, updates availability in real-time, and integrates with calendars or CRM tools to manage appointments efficiently.

It is also used to schedule, manage, and organise patient appointments. This system allows healthcare providers to allocate time slots for patient visits, ensuring an orderly and efficient flow of consultations, treatments, and follow-ups. Modern appointment systems often integrate with electronic health records (EHR) and practice management software, offering features such as online booking, automated reminders, and real-time updates.
