The chain of medical centers in Italy implemented Timerise, an API-based, custom booking solution that automated the entire booking process within their existing Customer Portal. This solution maintained the brand’s identity, ensured data privacy, and enhanced operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
The project required the implementation of a flexible, efficient, and customer-friendly scheduling system that enables the management of complex multi-location logic. Multiple doctors providing various types of services, in several locations, and using advanced equipment – that’s the reality in which bookings can become extremely complex to manage. The clinic adopted a headless scheduling system, leveraging Timerise’s API-first technology to deliver an unparalleled user experience.
Client background
A chain of medical centers in Italy, specializing in a wide range of medical services, including mental health support provided by psychologists, therapists, and coaches. The center also collaborates with external partners to offer additional services, catering mainly to corporate clients through its B2B platform.
The challenge
The existing process of scheduling appointments with medical experts involved manual coordination, typically initiated by a human resources manager within client companies. This process often required numerous phone calls and emails between the medical center’s staff and the clients, leading to inefficiencies and delays.
Existing solutions like Calendly, Acuity Scheduling, or Cal.com fell short in meeting the center’s stringent data privacy requirements. Moreover, integrating scheduling as part of their existing digital product, following a headless approach, posed a unique challenge that traditional appointment platforms like SimplyBook.me or You Can Book Me couldn’t address.
The solution
Recognizing the need for streamlining their booking system, the medical center opted for Timerise, a custom booking solution that seamlessly integrates with their existing portal. By leveraging Timerise’s API-based solution, the medical center could automate the entire booking process without redirecting users to external platforms. This ensured a consistent user experience within their portal while maintaining the brand’s identity.
Timerise offered unparalleled data privacy measures, ensuring that customer data remained safe and untouched by the solution provider, a feature lacking in other popular platforms. This critical aspect allowed the medical center to maintain compliance with data protection regulations and safeguard sensitive patient information effectively.

✔︎ Data Privacy
As a medical institution handling sensitive patient data, data privacy was of utmost importance. Timerise ensured that no personal information was shared or processed during the booking process, providing a transparent and secure solution that complied with data protection regulations.
✔︎ Webhooks Integration
Timerise supported configurable webhooks, enabling seamless integration with the medical center’s existing systems for post-booking operations. This allowed for real-time communication between Timerise and other systems, facilitating efficient management of bookings and notifications.

The successful implementation of Timerise for appointment scheduling paved the way for future expansions, including the automation of processes involving external partners.
