  • 1.  Group visit Scheduling software

    Posted 04-04-2017 01:30 PM

    Does anyone have any scheduling software packages to recommend? It would be helpful to have a system that keeps track of inquiries ..through to final bookings.

     

    Thanks Lynne

    We use File Maker Pro for scheduling our K-12 school visits. It's a great tool for tracking incoming requests all the way through the final visit process and is a great archive for these visits as well.

    Hi Lynne,

    This topic has come up frequently on this forum - I would recommend searching for similar threads in the past using the search bar in the upper-right corner of this webpage.

    We started using Fare Harbor (FareHarbor: Booking software and services for tours and activities)  this year and are really happy with it. It was recommended to us by our colleagues at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy, who use it for their programming. The caveat is that you have to offer some fee-based programs (we offer 100 free school tours a year, the rest of our programs are fee-based). You can see what the integration looks like on our website: Brooklyn Historical Society (click the red "book now" button). You can also see it on BBPC's website: School Programs 

    Good luck!
