Whether it’s planning your Christmas markets or getting ready for the heat in your beach hut – Zipporah has you covered!
Having a nostalgic trip to the market or going on a charming escape to seaside beach huts are increasing in popularity. Beach enthusiasts and market vendors have been vocal in suggesting that councils have been quick to change booking procedures in other areas but are STILL yet to make a difference to their beach huts or market stall booking capabilities - resulting in cumbersome, antiquated, and time-consuming processes just to reserve and purchase a spot.
With a rise in independent businesses in recent years, handling the demand for market stalls, particularly during busy seasons like food markets in the summer and Christmas markets in the winter, can be challenging. The Zipporah solution offers an efficient way to manage your market stall allocation, easing the workload on your administrative teams.
Imagine a scenario for your administrative teams where customer calls decrease as more bookings are made online - reducing the administrative load, allowing you to concentrate on daily tasks, streamlining workflows, and achieving a better work balance. Our flexible system allows you to upload documents against the booking, such as market stall licences or food hygiene certificates fulfilling regulations – providing an effortless experience for eager market traders, which sets them up for success.
Our beach hut reservation system provides a comprehensive beachfront management solution. Imagine being at the beach and facing the disappointment of all sun loungers or beach-friendly wheelchairs being booked, forcing you to sit on the sand or stay on the boardwalk. With Zipporah, you can book your equipment ahead of time through our solution, reducing frustration for beachgoers and minimising cash handling on-site.
Beachfront management gives you the option to lease beach huts with various holding durations, such as 3, 6, 12 months etc and manage these on a licence basis with expiry dates. You can also select by season - adding the different seasonal costs to handle peak seasons. Our versatile booking system empowers your community to preview future availability, effortlessly book services, prepay for the beach huts, and promptly receive email confirmations and reminders, along with SMS updates.
Reporting capabilities play a vital role for local authorities and businesses in analysing data presented in a user-friendly format. These capabilities enable quick access to and review of debtor's reports and income reports, illustrating the revenue generated and the respective sources. Additionally, utilization reports serve as pivotal tools for departments to assess the popularity or deficiencies within specific product or service areas.
Why limit the benefits of a booking system to just beachgoers and market traders? The expandable Zipporah solution enables you to use the generic appointment system for various bookings, whether for housing meetings, taxi licence applications, or recycling centre management. By investing in this solution, you're not just addressing one area—why not opt for a comprehensive solution for all your generic booking needs!
Take a peek at a case study of ours for The Vale of Glamorgan who integrated our system for their beach hut bookings. Tony Curliss, who is the operational manager for Vale of Glamorgan, says our system has been crucial for “providing efficiency and generating income”. We are pleased to work with so many Councils that share the same vision - ensuring true digital transformation (a Can-Do Council).
With the summer season upon us, an increase in beach hut requests and sales is inevitable. Imagine allowing sunseekers to select and buy their spot on the waterfront effortlessly through a booking system. Now that’s a little piece of summer magic!
