Do you get some students booking more than once onto the same open day, messing up your final numbers whilst taking up chairs they never sit in?

Now students get reminded of their original booking (on screen and by instant email) and are prevented from creating another one until any previous bookings have been cancelled.

Benefits of using Student CRM Booking Forms

  • Accurate Attendance Predictions: With the prevention of duplicate bookings, universities can get a clearer picture of how many students are genuinely planning to attend, ensuring a more precise headcount for the day.

  • Optimal Resource Allocation: Avoiding overbookings means less waste of resources. Whether it's printed materials, seating arrangements, or catering, you can plan and provision based on genuine attendance figures.

  • Streamlined Administrative Processes: Recruitment officers can reduce the time spent on sifting through duplicate entries, leading to a smoother and more efficient administrative workflow.

  • Better Student Experience: With accurate booking numbers, universities can ensure they have the right amount of staff and facilities in place to cater to every attending student, ensuring a better open day experience.

  • Immediate Feedback to Students: Should a student try to book more than once, they're instantly reminded of their initial booking, reducing confusion and helping them keep track of their commitments.

  • Data Integrity: By preventing multiple bookings from the same student, the data collected from these forms is more reliable, providing better insights for future planning and decision-making.

One student, one booking.
