# What is Scheduling Software

What appointment scheduling software is, and how SimpleSpa delivers it as web-based software.

Appointment scheduling software, often called appointment booking software or online booking software, helps businesses and professionals manage their appointment and booking schedules efficiently.

SimpleSpa is a web-based scheduling system, delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS) through standard web browsers. The advantage of this delivery model is that updates, including continuous improvements and new features, roll out seamlessly and immediately. This keeps your scheduling system at the cutting edge of functionality. Our platform also lets you access your schedule and complete business information from any location. Perhaps most importantly, it gives your clients the convenience of booking online from their computers, tablets or smartphones.
