About

The One EPIC Place Scheduling Web Application is a web-based scheduler to help both the clients and the staff. The clients can use the application to view a schedule to see the availability of locations and to rent rooms from the business using a friendly intuitive interface. The staff can use the application to manage the rented locations by holding administrator privileges allowing for editing and removal of client made bookings. The application also serves as a data analysis platform to view data on the clients, locations, and provided resources that they are renting to help price the services and better accommodate the clients.

• Allows users to interact with the application API with restricted privileges:

  • View the renting availability.
  • Book locations at available times.
  • View offered accommodations (locations and resources).

• Let staff hold administrator level privileges in the site letting them:

  • Create accounts.
  • View the renting availability.
  • View and edit booking data with sorting functions.
  • View and edit client accounts.
  • View and edit offered accommodations (locations and resources).

This Scheduling Application is being made as a competitor against YArooms, another web-based scheduler that holds many of the same features as this application but does not have as many data analytic features as this application. This application has business tailored features such as allowing clients to list the noise level of their meeting as well making it a more suitable choice for the business.
