Editor's Notes
- Essentially... More thought has gone into what we’re providing from a higher level We now have the flexibility to provide good admin experiences Backend changes Caching of the site, which means faster load times for pages Caching of the booking process, again much improving the load times
- One of our main selling points, and something that sets us apart from competition, is our editor embedded in the software. No more multiple tabs open refreshing like mad! Can view your changes as you make them (still need to give it a save)
- What you had designed, was what you had to live with before, but no more! We’re shipping by default with a number of layouts to choose from, with views to make them completely custom in the future. If you’ve got an existing design with us, for a small amount of development the upgrade should be minor
- Our most exciting feature in my eyes, is we’ve moved forward a great deal in regards to mobile compatibility Not only is our booking journey responsive, but we aim to make your experience of the front-end easy to use, and automatically responsive to a number of screen sizes!

- So really something that is important to us... Is the booking journey. There have been big improvements since the old version and I’d like to walk you through these now. There is still some work here, to modernise, but overall I hope you like what you see
- Covers... The normal order view Easier visibility of transactions made Timeline in the order, to track events that have or will happen Show the new way going forward of managing the bookings on events... Event Admin view (Explain it’s in early stage) > Show next slide to explain the next iteration
- Event admin view, viewing an event on the board...
- The popup we saw a minute ago.. This would be a next iteration
- Reporting... We now have one unified area for reports (CHEERS IN THE ROOM) Show the booking reports Cover the column chooser Cover excel export
- Something heavily requested in the old system, and we were unfortunately technically constrained... But now we have a very good framework for delivering informative system snapshots for you... Currently we’ve got memberships implemented here so you can see exactly what the state of play is. We’ll be expanding this to show things like: Sales made Cash flow Graphing
- Somewhere we’ve always lacked and due to the significant demand, we introduce handling of VAT and Synchronisation with XERO our chosen accounting partner. Your customers will be sent to XERO You’ll be able to raise invoices automatically in Xero when bookings are made, and their payment status updated between systems Your products can all be associated to different accounting ledgers Prices for XERO start from £20 a month if you’re doing more than 5 invoices a month Coming as part of this, is a basic invoicing system built into BookingLive, with a reduced set of features compared to Xero. The good news? You can enable XERO when you want and have a seamless switchover.
