Displays the day’s workshop appointments in real time on a television screen in the dealership waiting room.
A chime sound announces the next vehicle to be attended, and the TV screen updates to highlight the customer's name and vehicle details. Customers can see how their service appointment moves up on the board in real-time.
The Appointment Board can work in sync with DealerTablet (tablet application for vehicle check-in) and can integrate with the dealer management system (DMS) used by the dealership.
The Appointment Board (also known as a Greeter Board) can be customized with the dealer’s logo and with colors based on the brands they sell.

Through our Open API, Appoint365 can integrate with your auto dealer management system or the third-party software package used at the dealership.

Appoint365 can push appointment, customer and vehicle information to the dealer management system. Appoint365 is careful to not create duplicate customers and vehicles in the DMS.
Appoint365 is fully configurable to work the way your dealership already works. You can configure multiple workshops, each one with its own business hours, services, prices, service advisors and technicians. You can indicate if you work with fixed or variable duration appointments (variable appointments depend on the times of services that are requested).
You can also choose the template that most closely matches the dealership look and feel.
Appoint365 automates many of the routine interactions with customers through e-mail and SMS reminders:
You can configure the text of each e-mail and SMS that the system sends, for example to add special messages and service promotions.
