We use BookingsPlus to showcase the facilities for hire at three of our libraries – the virtual tours provide an excellent way for potential hirers, and visitors to experience our facilities before arriving. What set BookingsPlus apart was the ability to add on an extra support service which helps us manage our payment processing. It’s taken the hassle of managing an external payment provider away from us, as well providing our customers a hassle-free was to make use of our facilities. Everything has been seamless from start to finish.
