A treatment needs a free therapist and a free room at the same time, and most booking tools check only one. We build booking systems for spas, wellness centres and hotel spas: treatments that hold the right room and therapist, spa days and gift vouchers, and payments, with the code and guest data owned by you.

What a booking system for spas and wellness centres can do. Start with booking and payments; add the rest when you need it.
- Treatments, rooms and therapists: Each treatment holds a therapist with the right skills and a free room, with time to prepare the room for the next guest. Built from the Agent Skill at /skills/time-slot-generator.
- Spa days and day passes: Spa days that book several treatments in a row, and day passes for the pool and sauna with a limit per hour.
- Gift vouchers: Vouchers bought online, sent by email and used at booking or at the desk, with the balance always known. Built from the Agent Skill at /skills/ledger-wallet.
- Forms before the treatment: Guests fill in a health form while booking, so the therapist knows about allergies before the guest arrives.
- Reminders: Reminders before the visit with what to bring and when to arrive, and a link to move the booking.
- Hotel guests: Hotel guests book with their room number, and the treatment goes on the room bill if your hotel system has an API.
- Reception kiosk: Guests at the reception book a sauna slot or check in on a touchscreen. Built from the Agent Skill at /skills/booking-kiosk.
- Payments: Card payment or a deposit at booking, and the invoice issued after payment.

How your team runs it: Reception, therapists and the manager work in one panel: the day by room and therapist, guests, vouchers and payments.

When your own system is worth it:
- A treatment needs a therapist and a room, and your tool checks only one
- You sell spa days, packages and gift vouchers
- You are part of a hotel and guests book from their room
- Fees grow with every therapist or booking

What spas and wellness centres gain over a SaaS platform:
- Rooms. On a SaaS platform: The tool books the therapist and leaves the room to the reception. With your own system: Every treatment holds the therapist and the room together.
- Vouchers. On a SaaS platform: Vouchers live in a separate tool, or on paper. With your own system: Vouchers are sold, tracked and used in the same system.
- Cost. On a SaaS platform: Fees grow with every therapist and every booking. With your own system: One fixed price, with no commission on bookings.
- The hotel. On a SaaS platform: The spa and the hotel run on tools that don't talk. With your own system: Hotel guests book and pay with their room, through the API.

FAQ:
- Q: Can a treatment book a room and a therapist together?
  A: Yes. Each treatment says which rooms and which therapist skills it needs, and the system only offers times when both are free.
- Q: Can hotel guests charge treatments to their room?
  A: Yes, if your hotel system has an API. We check that at the brief and include the integration in the quote.
- Q: How much does it cost?
  A: The price depends on the scope and is fixed before the build starts. Most projects fall between $15k and $50k. It is a one-time cost, with no subscription and no commission on bookings.
- Q: How long does it take?
  A: You get a clickable prototype and a quote within 48 hours of the brief. The build takes two to three weeks, and the system is live six to eight weeks after the first call, including migration and handover.
- Q: We already use a booking tool. What happens to our data?
  A: We move your customers, bookings and history into the new system, even when the current provider has no export. The old tool keeps running until the data matches, so bookings never stop.
- Q: Who owns the system?
  A: You do. The code, the data and the documentation are handed over. It runs in your own cloud account or on our infrastructure, and 3 years of support are included.
