Looking for an online Room Booking System?

This Booking module can be used to fulfil your needs of a room booking system, whilst also giving you additional features such as a calendar, news, CMS, etc. There are many customers that use introupe solely for the Room Booking module, as it is so easy for people to use but can handle complex bookings and rooms, as well as equipment. For the Booking module you will also need the IT Inventory module and the base system.

What is the Booking module?

The Booking module allows designated users to book rooms and equipment with your organisation. User can quickly book rooms and equipment by browsing through room categories (e.g. IT Rooms, Meeting Rooms, etc) and simply click 'Book' in the desired timeslot. Timeslots can be specified based on your criteria. For schools this will be the periods of the day. For businesses this may be designated meetings times or simply hourly timeslots (i.e. 9-10, 10-11, etc).

Alternatively, you can view the booking system in calendar view, which will show you the entire day and all bookings. For schools, you would have the periods as timeslots and then be able to view the extended school day in the calendar view. For businesses, you would have the meeting timeslots and then be able to view the entire day for other bookings in the calendar view.

As this system is entirely online it is impossible to have double bookings. The system also has the ability to import bookings or create bookings in bulk, i.e. school timetable. Coming soon is a utility to import the school timetable from a CSV file.

Why use this Booking module?

As the Booking system is online any networked computer will be able to access the system. No local software or additional plugins are required. There are various options available to the administrators to customise the system to meets your specific needs and use.

Some examples of using this system may include:
