Most of the business today nedd an online, real-time reservation system but because of lack of budget or because of budget restrictions they do not have such a system.

When there is a lot of people wanting the resources you are promoting at the same time you need you need a good system to find who are those wishfuls and then to satisfy them by giving clear and immediate answers to their legitimate questions:

- Is the resource available now?
- Can I reserve it for me immediately?
- Can I make sure that nobody else can reserve it afterwards?
- Can I pay online without going to bank and deposit the money?

Most businesses find who are their potential clients by putting on their website a reservation form, asking for the customer name, email address the resource and the period when they want to reserve the resource.

This is how the business hear something from their potential clients. But what happens then?

Well, on the business side there must be someone receiving and reading the email, looking in a jotter for the resource availability and then replying to the reservation request from the client. If the resource is available the answer to the client is yes, the resource is available. You have to go to the bank and pay the deposit in this account. If you don't pay in x days your reservation will be cancelled...

On the client side, if the client is really interested in that resource and the resource provider is the only one providing that resource, he will wait for the answer. Otherwise he will find another resource provider who can give him a quicker or immediate answer and will reserve the resource from that provider.

You, as vendor, can avoid this kind of complicated communication protocol with your potential clients, save money, save time, avoid the inevitable mistakes and the most important don't loose any client if you simply put a link on your website or on a website that advrtises your business to an online calendar of the resource you are offering for reservation. On that calendar, your potential clients can see when the resource is available, when is already booked, when it was marked by you as unavailable. Then your client can select an available day and make an online reservation and if he made an online payment then the day will be marked as booked in the calendar.
