The BookingsPlus story began with the visionary PFI schools provided by construction company, Kajima Partnerships. As they were built a need was identified for a fully managed service to help support the schools in offering their facilities for local community use. Administration and site staff were then recruited to perform these tasks and the lettings specialist arm of the company, Kajima Community was formed..
This vibrant team continued to grow and BookingsPlus, a unique online booking system, was created to minimise the administration processes involved in managing school lettings. The BookingsPlus system proved to be universally useful and it was then rolled out to schools nationwide. We now help venues across a range of sectors connect with their community and optimise the use of their facilities whilst generating additional revenue.
The abilities of BookingsPlus have evolved over the years with an increasing amount of venues benefitting from a user friendly online administration system. Community centres, healthcare centres, churches and businesses are also adopting the system for all their lettings solutions.
The same dedicated, forward thinking individuals who make up Kajima Community are still very much behind the continued innovation of the BookingsPlus experience today, listening to clients and their customers and implementing updates to the system to make it work for you.
Both our lettings software and range of lettings services are designed to help market facilities available to hire and generate a profit. We also directly manage the community use across a growing number of sites throughout the UK. Therefore BookingsPlus is an online system built by the people that use it day after day to hire out a range of school spaces. This in turn optimises revenue for these venues with an abundance of large assembly halls, classrooms, sports gymnasiums and synthetic pitches now on offer to their local communities.
Schools and academies need to open up their doors and market their facilities now more than ever and this system is born out of the requirement for a fully managed school lettings system to enable them to do it with minimal difficulty.
