I need something that works in Australia.

Ask HN: Appointment Booking Software?

Hey all, can anyone recommend software for booking appointments on behalf of clients? Most of the systems I'm coming across seem clunky or short on features. I'm looking for: - Flexible appointment reminders (email, SMS) - Calendar invite - Allow multiple staff/clients to individually set their own availability, and integrate with their own calendars - Easy to useAny recommendations?Many thanks.

Adyus, yes there is such a method that is scalable. I've implemented it for my business and for clients of mine. It's called Automated Email, and I lay out the step-by-step process for a basic campaign @ http://42insights.com/automated-email/.

Essentially, you identify the types of clients you work best with, create a process for finding them online, finding the right contact people at the company, finding their contact information, then reach out to them via email. It's scalable because you can hire someone on oDesk to follow the process you create. All you have to do then is set up a call with the incoming leads. Happy to answer any questions you have.

Good point. The first step should always be to implement the process. Automating it from the get go can result in more effort than it's worth, when you decide to change and iterate on the process as you move forward.

And to also answer my own query, programmableweb.com seems to be the best resource.

I'm thinking I could use twitter followers or alexa rank as a proxy for number of users. Anyone know where I could find a list of SaaS offerings?
