*"I am a huge advocate in working smarter and not harder… if we can have things like automation, scheduling, and appointment setting in our pocket, it's just gonna make life so much easier." *
**Holly Gould**
Hair by Holly Gould
*"I've had an increase in the frequency of bookings because the system's there 24/7. If I'm on holiday or unavailable, it just keeps rolling over. That wasn't possible before." *
**Bex**
The Zen Den
*"I liked that Ovatu could integrate into my website seamlessly, because with all the other systems out there, you have to go to a second site and I didn't want that." *
**Jennifer Turner**
Turn Beautiful
*"My no-shows are pretty much zero. The people that book in are committed. It's brought me clients that are regular, that are reliable. That's the biggest benefit for me." *
**Claire Howard**
Claire Howard Nail Design
*"If it's the middle of the night and my clients are up and they're thinking; 'Oh, I haven't booked this', they can still do it online, it's fantastic." *
**Anne Skelton**
