A lot of market research led us back to bookitlive

Drive for Life Driver Training has had a great experience with bookitlive. Our business needs are complex as we are not a typical driver training company. David took the time to understand us, and worked very closely with our accounts team over a number of weeks to ensure the back of house processes suited the internal financial requirements. This wasn’t a small task as we are a not-for-profit enterprise with charity status; our financial systems are very tight and we work to a high level of scrutiny. David took this all in his stride. Operationally, I’m confident we are getting the best system – it’s easy to use and customer friendly.
All in all, the level of service, value for money and operational and reporting capability is the best I have seen – and I have investigated systems for driver training at great length.

I have been struggling with scheduling my driving instructors manually for year. I booked my kids at a local trampoline centre and found they were using bookitlive so I checked it out for myself. I discovered it was widely used to manage driving lesson booking across Australia and New Zealand so I jumped on board and wow I am now generating more revenue and saving heaps of time.
