The business was founded as an online 24/7 booking service for small hair and beauty salons and now powers large and small businesses across 16 different sectors from retail to financial services and consulting to healthcare, beauty and education.
Founder and chief executive Leah Hutcheon said: “When the pandemic struck we knew we were in a unique position to help a huge variety of businesses and organisations operate safely and adhere to social distancing requirements.
“This has involved us adapting our services for use cases from occupational Covid-19 testing for offshore contractors, to beauty brands using Appointedd to connect with thousands of customers at once and now helping businesses across all sectors return to work safely with desk and office entry booking.”
The firm highlighted a barbershop that took 3,000 future bookings in one day via its platform as salons reopened post-lockdown. It also pointed to one beauty retailer which saw a 360 per cent increase in online enquiries following the introduction of the firm’s virtual service.
