Running a mobile practice means your car is your office and every client location is different. Receptioner handles the logistics — deposits to protect your travel time, client details collected before you arrive, and a schedule that makes sense for life on the road.
When you're traveling to clients, every challenge hits harder. Wasted trips cost fuel, time, and income.
You've packed your equipment, driven across town, and the client isn't home. No deposit means no commitment — and you've just lost an hour of travel plus the appointment slot you could have filled.
Clients forget to mention the tricky parking, the apartment number, or the gate code. You're sitting outside texting while your schedule falls apart and the next client waits.
You show up ready to work, but you don't know about the client's back injury, allergies, or that they wanted deep tissue instead of relaxation. Collecting information on arrival wastes precious appointment time.
Your phone buzzes with booking requests while you're on the road. Pulling over to respond, checking your calendar, confirming appointments — it's dangerous and inefficient.
Monday morning in the north, Monday afternoon in the south, then back north for the evening. Without smart scheduling, you spend more time driving than treating clients.
After a relaxing treatment, asking for payment breaks the mood. Clients fumble for cash, cards don't work, and you're left chasing payments via text messages days later.
Tools designed for practitioners who bring their services to the client's door
Require deposits when clients book to ensure they're committed. A client who's paid upfront doesn't forget their appointment. If they cancel last-minute, you're not left empty-handed after driving across town.
Clients book online while you're with another client or driving. Set buffer times between appointments for travel. Control your availability by day and area so your schedule makes geographic sense.
Send intake forms automatically when clients book. Collect health history, service preferences, parking instructions, and access codes before you leave home. Arrive prepared, not scrambling.
Automated SMS and email reminders ensure clients remember their appointments. They'll confirm they're home and ready before you start driving. Fewer surprises, fewer wasted trips.
Pull up any client's profile from your phone — their address, preferences, past treatments, and notes. Review before you arrive so you're ready to deliver personalized service from the moment you walk in.
Gift vouchers sell online 24/7 without you lifting a finger. Perfect for clients who want to gift your mobile services to friends and family. New clients come to you pre-paid and ready to book.
