Screenshots and explanation.
Below are screenshots of just a few key parts of the VMM software. There are about
seventy different windows in VMM so please contact us if you would like to find out more.
Bookings received.
When you are open the software continually checks your website for new online bookings.
When new ones are received a popup displays to alert you (see left).
At the end of the day you simply shut down the VMM software and your website continues
to take bookings.
The next day any overnight/weekend online bookings are downloaded and the system
is synchronised. In the event of an internet connection failure during the day,
the software remains fully functional and the web booking system closes down.
VMM will normally reconnect and reactivate the web booking system automatically
when the connection is restored.
The bookings details screen.
The Booking Details screen allows you to edit nearly any aspect of an existing booking
and add new ones. You can also send an SMS text confirmation to the customer's mobile
phone or print the details to hand to the customer.
The reminders screen.
The Reminders Screen allows you to see which customers are due to receive annual
MOT reminders on any given day and send them by email, SMS or print them for posting.
The whole process can be completed in seconds, saving you hours of tedious paperwork.
The slots screen.
Slots can be added, deleted and edited with ease. Slots come in two types, Default
and Custom. The Default Slots are those which you normally use week to week. Custom
slots are used when you want to set up different slots for a limited period (during
a tester's holiday for example), or no slots at all (bank holidays, Xmas etc). The
slots system is extremely flexible and even if you delete slots that already have
bookings against them, the bookings will still remain visible.
The customers screen.
The Customers screen allows you to add and edit customers and view their booking
history.
SMS Messages Screen.
The SMS Messages Received screen gives you a fully featured SMS inbox. Any messages
sent from our system will be sent via a virtual mobile number. This allows the recipients
to reply which can be very useful. Imagine you sent out a daily reminder, say two
hours before a test and the customer has forgotten and is unable to attend. They
can reply to let you know, giving you at least some time to fill the space.
The Search Screen.
The Search screen gives you a powerful means of finding bookings using multiple
search criteria.
The Testers Screen.
The Testers screen allows you to add new testers and edit existing ones. Each tester
can be assigned a different screen name and colour. There is no limit to the number
of testers that you can have.
The Testing Classes Screen.
The Testing Classes screen allows you to set which testing classes you are offering
and the prices. It is possible to set different default values for your full, web
and trade fees for both initial tests and retests.
There are many other screens not shown above and many useful features. Please contact
us for more information.
