Your team's diary, online

Effortlessly handle appointment confirmations, reminders, surveys, and follow-ups with fully customisable automated communications via SMS or email.

You have complete control over the tone, timing, and content of every message. Add a personal touch with dynamic variables, such as the client’s first name, or a link to their individualised intake form.

Save time and reduce administrative resources by giving clients the freedom to make bookings online at their convenience, 24/7. Maintain full control over your schedule with advanced booking options:

- Exclude specific services from online bookings to the public.

- Enable booking requests for manual approval rather than automatic confirmations.

Want to appear more in demand? Bookem lets you make your schedule seem busier than it really is, helping you build a professional and exclusive image without showing all your available times.

Effortlessly schedule recurring appointments, ensuring clients never miss a session. Automate regular bookings for ongoing care, reducing admin time and keeping your calendar organised. Adjust or cancel recurring sessions as needed, giving you and your clients flexibility while maintaining a consistent schedule.

Offer clients a seamless booking experience by enabling instant online payments for select services. You can also choose which services require payment to confirm a booking, and which only requires payment later.

Alternatively, you can send unpaid invoices after appointments, allowing clients to pay directly via secure online payment links. Payments are automatically reconciled, saving you valuable time and reducing the risk of human error.

Whether payments are made upfront or after the appointment, Bookem ensures everything stays organised for you.

Create better client communication by allowing clients to respond to automated messages such as appointment reminders or confirmations. Bookem allows you to reply to their messages or send manual updates for last-minute changes, like letting a client know if an appointment is running slightly behind schedule straight from Bookem.

All message threads are stored securely within each client’s profile under the Messages tab, making it simple to keep track of conversations and stay organised.

Go paperless with Forms

Now all your data capturing can be done by clients. No more recapturing errors.

Save time by automating the process of sending clients the forms they need to complete. You can set rules to automatically send specific forms, such as intake questionnaires or indemnity waivers, based on the type of appointment they book.

Each form is fully customisable for convenience and optimised for a seamless experience across mobile, tablet, or desktop devices, ensuring a smooth process for clients, no matter their device.

Bookem’s forms are designed with flexibility in mind, allowing you to create fields tailored to your practice's needs. For example, you can include text fields for gathering essential client details, multiple-choice questions or checkboxes for quick responses, and image-based fields like body charts to let clients annotate pain points or areas of concern.

Digital signatures are also supported, enabling clients to sign forms easily using a finger on mobile or tablet devices, or a mouse when using a desktop.

When it comes to online booking, you have the flexibility to tailor the experience to match the needs of your practice.

Customise the questions clients answer when booking appointments and make them specific to the service they choose. For instance, a massage client can be prompted to provide details about areas of tension, while physiotherapy clients might complete a form detailing their medical history or recent injuries.

Once submitted, form data is automatically merged with each client’s profile, saving you the time and effort of manual data entry.

This streamlined integration ensures you always have up-to-date client records. The information collected can also be used in various ways, such as pre-filling invoices with medical aid details, personalising automated reminders and follow-ups, or simplifying future form submissions by auto-completing overlapping questions.

Invoicing and payments

Appointments can be invoiced and emailed/SMSed in as little as 4 clicks, directly from your calendar.

Bookem knows who is being invoiced and can also know why, so invoices get sensibly populated with information that usually takes unnecessary time or effort, such as date of birth or medical aid details.

For effortless medical aid-compliant invoicing, quickly search through and add ICD-10, treatment/procedure codes, descriptions and pricing.

NAPPI, consumable, SKU, or other codes, descriptions and pricing can be loaded too.

Save time and eliminate costly mistakes by creating groups of multiple invoice line items (codes, descriptions and pricing) for inserting one or more of these groups into an invoice with a click.

Bookem allows for various manual payment methods (POS, cash, or EFT), as well as online credit card payments through online payment gateways such as Snapscan, Payfast, and/or Paypal.

Online payments are linked to invoices and recorded automatically

View account reports such as Age Analysis, Invoices or Payments online. If you need more flexibility, download any raw accounts data into spreadsheets for truly flexible reporting.

Documents

Flexible, customisable, and AI-ready documentation for all aspects of your practice.

Use and customise document templates for clinical notes, referral letters, imaging requests, sick notes, or prescriptions. Store all relevant client documents in one central location on the client profile for easy access.

Customise templates with text fields, headings, multiple-choice options, checkboxes, one-click signature blocks, and reusable images like body charts or diagrams that clients can interact with.

Upload images or take photos while making notes. Annotate images directly, including clinical diagrams or body charts, to streamline visual tracking and communication.

Add voice recordings to documents for easy note-taking and transcribe them instantly into written records.

Easily download documents or send them as secure links to external parties in just a few clicks.

Email referral letters, prescriptions, sick notes, or other documents directly from Bookem to multiple recipients.

Easily send personalised resources like home exercise programs, nutrition plans, care instructions, or other tailored content directly to clients.

For early users, transform transcriptions into complete documents with a single click. AI integrates seamlessly with templates, allowing you to create ready-to-use clinical notes, referral letters, and more. This feature will be widely available in 2025.

Video calls

Bookem's video call software is secure and easy to use for you or your clients. No software download required.

Automatic reminders to your clients include links to join their calls in a single click.

Book clients for video calls yourself, or let them book online.

If no-shows for video calls are a problem, Bookem can require online payment from clients before their appointment is confirmed, even if other types of online appointments don't require up-front payment.

We also let you use services like Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime or Microsoft Teams. Simply replace our video call link with a link from your favourite video call service, and your clients will be able to join calls with one click from links they get sent via automated messages and reminders. You can also join calls directly from your calendar in one click, just like you would with bookem video.

I have used Bookem to manage my practice for about a year now and it has been an amazing experience. The platform is incredibly user-friendly and it takes care of many of the admin functions that one would need a secretary to do.

I highly recommend Bookem!
