Katherine Regnier (CEO & Founder, Coconut Software):

Online appointment scheduling is that immediate connection between customers and your business. Everywhere you look you see these self-serve methods being offered. Whether it’s booking an appointment with your hair stylist, or reserving that appointment time to pick up your next smartwatch, it’s obvious appointment scheduling is here to stay. And Coconut Software is the technology to get those customers in the door.

Wendy Betteridge (Marketing Manager, TELUS):

At TELUS we have made it our mission to put customers first. We’ve implemented innovative programs to support this initiative, like TELUS Learning Centers and TELUS Appointments. Both of these programs require a sophisticated software solution that is simple for our customers to use, and customized to fit internal operations.

Katherine Regnier:

When you match a corporation with great vision along with the right technology company to execute that vision, something very powerful happens.
