Request or confirmed booking?
A requested time is not necessarily an available appointment. Decide when capacity is reserved, who may confirm it, and what happens when two requests compete for the same slot.
Booking & field service
A booking is only the start of a service job. When requests, staff schedules and job records live in separate tools, the team has to carry information between them. Vey designs and develops software around those handovers, for businesses coordinating appointments and work at customer locations.
Start by comparing the gap with what an existing booking or field service product can already do. Custom development may suit a workflow with specific assignment rules, several systems that must stay connected, or different access needs for customers and staff. A standard product may be enough when its process fits the business. The first step is to identify the gap, rather than assume every tool needs replacing.
A requested time is not necessarily an available appointment. Decide when capacity is reserved, who may confirm it, and what happens when two requests compete for the same slot.
Separate customer details, team assignments and internal notes. Agree which roles can view or change each part and how reassignment, cancellation and correction should work.
Describe the records the team needs and the device conditions they work in. Photos, signatures, location and offline behaviour need their own scope and testing; they are not assumed features.
Keep the source of truth clear when connecting calendars, accounting or an existing customer system. Define identifiers, failed updates, retries and the way staff resolve conflicting records.
A useful first stage can cover one service, one team and the path from request to completion. It should include the office handover and cancellation or unavailable states, so the team can test how the work actually moves. Payments, route planning and automated messaging can be separate decisions after the core process is understood.
Bring a sample job without customer details, a simple description of the team’s roles, the tools already in use and the step that causes the most rework. We can use that to discuss assessment, planning and a first implementation scope. It is not necessary to prepare a full technical specification or share live credentials to begin.

Describe how bookings reach the team, what happens on site and which existing tools need to stay connected.
