Society has progressively moved more and more towards self-service during the last decade, it’s almost everywhere you look and often you’ll be using a self-service process without even realising. However, many areas of the wellbeing and healthcare industry have been slow to adapt..

It’s no secret that clients like to be able to book things in their own way, they like the freedom of managing their own diary, communications, details and payments however does your clinic or studio have the ability to deliver this experience?

Learning from other industries

Since 2015, the number of passengers who have booked and checked-in for flights online via either a website or mobile app has almost tripled whilst those who book by phone and check-in at the airport has fallen by around 60%. Airlines who have been slow to embrace digital fulfilment or those who offer a poor digital experience have found themselves in trouble, take Flybe for example.

We have also seen the exponential growth of self-service gyms such as Pure Gym and Any Time Fitness. Two brands who are really winning in the gym space because their systems allow for ease of access and a user-friendly experience, there is no need for phone calls or filling out paperwork, it’s simple self-managed membership.

One of the key components behind the success of self-service in both these industries is digital innovation, the platform is there to allow clients and customers to easily access bookings, make payments, track memberships, fill out forms online and most importantly it is convenient for them to do from the comfort of their own homes or on the go.
