The world’s mobile economy celebrated a giant leap forward today as the launch of a new scheduling tool has removed the pain of working across time zones. Scottish startup Appointedd is the first to crack inbuilt time zone conversion with its Zonedd online booking technology.

Using Appointedd, businesses can now show their calendar availability in the time zone they are being booked from as well as being able to set discrete time zone availability on given days or weeks. And booking the appointment is streamlined – everyone can see the availability in their own time zone so there’s no confusion with who’s available when.

For international businesses, each team member can set their own time zone availability, meaning a distributed team can work in perfect harmony, scheduling calls and meetings with each other and their customers without a hiccup.

Multi time zone booking is just one of a range of features provided by Appointedd for dynamic business owners. The suite of online tools includes; online appointment diary and business management tools, CRM, a dedicated online booking microsite, booking widgets for a business’s website or Facebook page, and marketing automation tools.

Appointedd’s Founder and CEO, Leah Hutcheon said: “We’re thrilled to have cracked the missing link in creating a truly global independent workforce by making it easier to connect wherever you are. Despite all the converter tools available, time zones are notoriously hard – and why should we have to do the process of working out the time zone when making an appointment or booking a call? How we do business internationally has changed, and it’s about time our technology caught up. We knew that if we could nail the experience of booking meetings and calls across time zones and make it as seamless as the rest of our booking process, we’d have a truly international product.”

Appointedd has partnered with Cronofy to sync all bookings directly into any existing calendar. Appointedd users can view and manage their bookings via a two-way synchronisation across Google Calendar, iCal, Microsoft Exchange and Outlook 365.

Appointedd integrates with FreeAgent’s online accounting software to ensure appointments are managed from booking through to showing in the books.
