Ask HN: Appointment Booking Software?

[Nick5a1]

Hey all, can anyone recommend software for booking appointments on behalf of clients? Most of the systems I'm coming across seem clunky or short on features. I'm looking for: - Flexible appointment reminders (email, SMS) - Calendar invite - Allow multiple staff/clients to individually set their own availability, and integrate with their own calendars - Easy to use

Any recommendations?

Many thanks.

Take a look at http://www.appointmind.com/

SMS reminders are in the making and the rest is already available. I'm not sure, though, what you mean by "Calendar invite".

BookingBug is aimed at this space. I don't know whether it has calendar integration.
