Does anyone use School Booking with SIMS integration? Does it work well with 2 week timetables? Also is it worth going through Capita or direct with them?

 

We use schoolbooking.com with a two week timetable. You do have to setup the calendar at the start of each year and highlight which week is which but it works well. Using the Zinet client to sync with SIMS it checks for room changes over night and advises if any changes made in SIMS have caused room clashes. You can also manually run the sync utility so the cover supervisor can make room changes and then run the sync tool to upload the newest timetable changes to the system.

Ah, we use Room Booking System with the SIMS integration, not School Booking. Just to clarify.

I have also left a voicemail and suggested he gets an account on here so he can update and we can get hold of him and not be reliant on his domain address.

So is it UK based?

The guy is Tom, yes?

[10101010]

yes, his address is posted on page 1.

Companies House has a full street address for them of 53 Beaconsfield Road, Hastings, East Sussex https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/07833355

 

Anyone in or near Hastings?

 

They must have the contact email addresses for all the schools they're hosting, so even a daily update by email is the least they should be doing. We've given up with them now, but would like to recover our future bookings to transfer over.

Not many solutions... The £99 was a bargain!

Has anyone considered Classroombookings - the open source hassle-free room booking system for schools. and running it on a webserver?

That's one we may have a look at Andy. Boss is back tomorrow so I'm gonna discuss with him a way forward. I'll update here whichever one we go with, but might not be till next week. Got some images to create for SC and then rebuilding.

Cheers

Hi,

We have reverted back to a good old web based spreadsheet shared via Google...

[CumbrianMan]

Not looking good eh guys. Website and email contact still down. Time for a new provider I think!

[quiet_andy]

I'm already running trials Schoolbooking.com and Roombookingsystem.co.uk. Just unfortunately they are a lot more expensive.

Hi Andy, it'd be great to get your feedback on which you feel best suits your needs.

We are back in also, going to use it till the summer then work out where to go next. Really like Roombookingsystem.co.uk but not sure if I can get the money for it with SIMS integration.

[CumbrianMan]

Had email back from Tom and he's going to email everyone today/tomorrow.

[Gongalong]

He needed to do that when the outage started...

[10101010]

just emailed him now suggesting he gets an account on here to keep customers in the picture, it may be a little to late now....

[Gongalong]

It is for us. Love the price, but can't have this level of downtime, made doubly bad by zero communication.

Did anyone get an email from Tom in the end? I received nothing and I am going to drop him an email. But I just wanted to know if anyone else has before I moan.
