reservation system for
your business

If you offer services in regular time slots (60 minutes, 90 minutes, etc.), this is the ideal event type, offering a simple and clear booking process.

The Interval event type lets you define a time range within a single day and split it into smaller, regular chunks. On the reservation page, a customer chooses these specific time slots, which can also follow on from one another, extending their reservation according to the defined rules.

This event type is typically suitable for sports facilities and sports complexes, consulting and advisory services, wellness, or a sauna.

Reach and communicate with your customers in their own language, whether they're booking from your home country or from abroad – the reservation page and the entire administration can run in multiple language versions at the same time. 4 supported languages are available for the administration, and 7 languages are available for localizing the reservation page.

Custom content that you enter into the system yourself (terms and conditions, resource descriptions, event names, homepage information, etc.) needs to be translated and provided by you. The system offers a clear way to manage information across multiple languages.

Automate communication with customers exactly to your needs – from reminders, through satisfaction surveys, to marketing offers, in the form of e-mails or SMS messages. The possibilities of custom messages are, however, far broader. Custom messages can also be used to notify an external system or device, or to inform administrators or employees.

Custom messages allow you to set up sending of messages tied to a specific event in the reservation process and a corresponding moment in time. The event can be automatic (creation of a reservation, end of an event, etc.) or tied to a manual change of a reservation's status in the administration or mobile app.

• E-mail

  The basic type of custom message, where a text e-mail message with your own content is sent.

• SMS

  A popular message type which, although limited in size and format, offers greater delivery certainty.

• Webhook

  A technical solution for notifying an external system that some event has occurred. Typically used for various automations.

• Mobile app

  A quick way to send a notification directly into a specific reenio mobile app.

• Smartemailing

  If simple text content for an e-mail isn't enough, you can use templates and sending via the Smartemailing tool.

Unlike system notifications, which have a fixed structure and content, with custom messages you decide the content and purpose yourself – typically these are used for a thank-you or a request for feedback after an event ends, a reminder before an upcoming event, a marketing offer, booking instructions, birthday or name-day wishes (even with a gift coupon), or a reminder to a customer who hasn't booked for a while.

The content of custom messages can also contain so-called placeholder variables, which are replaced with the corresponding value when the message is actually sent, e.g. the customer's name or the reservation's start time. Custom messages are assigned to events via message groups, so there's no need to set up rules for every event separately, while still keeping flexibility for different situations and needs.

A special feature of certain message types and specific events is the ability to add dynamic elements to a custom message – a satisfaction survey or a generated coupon code. It's entirely up to you how you integrate these options into your marketing activities.

Offer customers a reservation for a fixed time slot with a limited capacity – ideal wherever more than one person needs to be able to attend an event, but not more than you're able to serve.

With the Full single event type, a customer always books the whole event as set, i.e. a fixed time slot from – to, with no option to choose a custom time. This is typically an event with a higher capacity, taking place at a fixed time – suitable for sports events and lessons, seminars, lectures, concerts, exhibition openings, one-off courses, workshops, or tours.

For this type you can also enable a so-called waiting list, where a customer can still express interest in booking even after all available capacity has been used up. This event type also supports creating recurring reservations and supports online events.

Easily get data about reservations and customers out of the reenio system, and then work with it in Excel, using AI, or use it for importing into other systems, for example for e-mail marketing.

Overviews of reservations and customers can be easily exported to Excel at any time, including data from your own custom booking and registration forms.

Besides a simple data export, the reservation system can also be connected to other systems using the API or webhooks, letting you pass data programmatically and in real time, as well as work with it at the level of its data structure.

Offer your customers gift coupons for your services, and at the same time let them buy gift coupons online – the customer immediately receives their coupon by e-mail and can give it as a gift or use it right away.

Gift coupons are part of the broader discount coupon and punch card functionality, with a similar approach and possible uses for all these tools. You create a coupon with predefined parameters – a set validity period, discount amount, or value – and assign it to specific events it can be applied to (so you can have different coupons for different service offerings, or events that don't accept coupons at all). The customer then receives a coupon code, either directly from you or through an online purchase.

• One-off redeemable amount

  A classic coupon with a fixed monetary value, typically for one-off use as a gift.

• Percentage discount

  A discount coupon for a proportional amount, typically suitable for giving to new customers or as a punch card, etc.

• Gradually redeemable amount

  The coupon has a certain monetary value which is used up gradually – a form of virtual wallet.

• No discount

  A type of coupon that doesn't adjust the price at all, but can be used, for example, to restrict reservations to a limited group of customers.

For genuine gift coupons, the ability to create your own design (PDF) is important, reflecting not just your visual style and intended use, but also allowing space for a dedication and so on.

You can connect reservations in the reenio system directly with supported smart locks and thus automatically control customer access.

Supported locks include Igloohome (offline operation is also possible thanks to algoPIN technology), Nuki, and the Unifi Access system from Ubiquiti. Each has its own specifics and is an ideal solution for different types of operation and scenarios.

• Igloohome

  Not just online operation via an internet gateway, but also a standard offline mode using the algoPIN algorithm.

• Nuki

  A well-known and proven smart lock brand with an online cloud solution.

• Unifi Access

  A professional solution for demanding operations, enabling full access control and integration with, for example, a camera system.

The whole process can work according to your specific settings, but typically, for example 1 hour before a paid reservation begins, a unique PIN code valid only for that customer and for the duration of their reservation is automatically generated and sent to them. With Igloohome there is an option where the lock doesn't need to be connected to the internet and the customer still receives a unique PIN code. However, an online connection offers greater flexibility and control over access.

To use this integration, you need to have the REENIO Connect feature active in the administration and the ability to use Custom messages, through which the automation itself takes place. The unique PIN code is then sent to the customer via e-mail or SMS.

Give customers the ability to choose a specific spot directly on a map of a hall, restaurant, or car park – whether for the entire event, or just a selected time period.

This event type lets you create a map of specific places and other elements, from which the customer chooses for themselves where they want to sit, stand, park a car, and so on. There are then two ways to book: either for the whole event at once (a classic ticket sale for an event with a specific seat), or for any time period, where the customer chooses a specific time from and to together with a place (e.g. booking a table in a restaurant or a parking spot). It's suitable for concerts, balls, theatres, cinemas, restaurants, room rentals, shared offices, or parking spaces.

A strong feature of this event type is also its pricing, where the price depends on the category of the place on the map, to which price variants or conditional prices can also be added. Combined with generating a separate reservation code for each booked place, a separate ticket is then always created for each place, labelled with its specific location on the map, so individual attendees can easily be checked in separately.

Let the reservation system automatically make sure you never have two reservations overlapping at the same time if they use the same resource. Thanks to collision protection, there's no problem creating a complex range of events and services while still ensuring effective management of reservations for the same time slot.

Resources (service, employee, place) in the reenio system serve not only as the informational basis for the range of events, their filtering, and navigation, but also as an important element in automating the whole reservation process. Thanks to collision protection, the system automatically evaluates whether a reservation can be created at a given time, or whether it would cause a collision due to the resources involved already being booked – for example, if a sauna would be booked at the same time by another reservation, but for a different service.

If you want to make reservations really efficiently, and want to offer your customers different options, services, prices, etc., then collision protection is definitely a feature worth understanding and getting right. For example, if you run a tire shop and car wash with 3 bays, thanks to collision protection you can offer different services (events) across the bays, and if a customer books one service in bay 1, no other reservation for the same time can be created for bay 1. And the reservation system takes care of exactly this automatically.

Collision protection is available for almost all event types. It cannot be used to protect against collisions at the level of individual seats in a seat map.

Keep a clear customer database with a reservation history and a whole range of related tools. The reenio system automatically builds the customer database based on reservations made or direct registration. A registered customer gains the ability to log in and manage their reservations directly within the reservation page. If customer credit is used, they can see their balance within their account and top it up online.

Depending on your settings, a reservation can also be allowed without registration, simply by entering an e-mail address or phone number, which is especially suitable where you don't expect one specific customer to use the reservation system regularly and often.

A well-maintained, extensive customer database is an important marketing tool. The system offers the option of bulk sending e-mail or SMS messages, which is useful for reaching customers with a new offer, a discount campaign, but also operational information or as part of crisis management.

The customer database naturally contains personal data, which today requires a certain approach to how it's handled and protected. The reservation system allows you to set up automatic deletion of personal data after a chosen period, and also keeps track of customer requests to have their data deleted. This makes it easier to meet GDPR requirements in line with the rules defined for your particular business.

If you need to import a customer database from another system or a manually maintained spreadsheet, that's no problem – an existing customer list can be easily and smartly imported into the reenio system.

Calendar synchronization lets you connect the reenio system with an external calendar. This is typically a connection with Google Calendar, and is set up simply by logging in with your Google account and granting access.

Reservations created in the reenio system will appear in your calendar, but the reverse doesn't happen – reservations aren't created from events in your Google Calendar (the booking process is complex enough that a calendar event alone isn't sufficient). In the other direction, i.e. from Google Calendar into the reenio system, synchronization is therefore only limited – events can be synchronized as time blocks, so that no new reservation can be created for that particular date and time.

The reenio reservation system runs primarily on Microsoft Azure, one of the most widespread and thoroughly vetted cloud solutions in the world. Running in the cloud means you don't have to worry about your own servers, their maintenance, or backing up data – the infrastructure, availability, and security are handled by Microsoft, which invests heavily in the performance, security, and certification of the Azure platform over the long term. Some selected services also run on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The Microsoft Azure platform was the first cloud solution in the Czech Republic to be vetted and listed in the eGovernment cloud computing catalogue, with the highest achievable security level, BÚ3. Running in such a vetted environment brings greater resilience against attacks or outages, modern data security, and continuous security updates already at the level of the platform itself.

Thanks to cloud operation, the reservation system is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection and can flexibly respond to growing demands – whether in terms of number of customers, reservations, or the volume of data.
