Bookings

From Microsoft: “Bookings gives you a fast, easy alternative to time-consuming, frustrating phone-scheduling.” 

Bookings allows you, an academic service unit or anyone to create a page with services, people and time slots to allow anyone to book time quickly and easily. It adds the events to a specific person’s calendar, allows for cancellations and reduces no-shows.
