Booking & Scheduling Platform

Project Overview

Booking & Scheduling Platform is a modern web application designed to simplify appointment management for businesses, consultants, agencies, coaches, healthcare providers, and other service-based organizations. Built using Laravel 11 and Vue 3, the platform enables customers to book appointments online while giving service providers complete control over scheduling, approvals, availability, and service management through an intuitive administrative dashboard.
