Introducing Open Studio Scheduling
In the realm of artistic expression and creative endeavors, studios serve as the sanctuaries where ideas flourish and artistic visions come to life. However, managing these spaces efficiently has often been a challenge, with many studios relying on outdated methods such as spreadsheets or pen-and-paper systems.
How its done today
Traditionally, coordinating studio schedules involved a labyrinth of spreadsheets or manual logs. Imagine stacks of paper littered with penciled names and eraser smudges, a headache-inducing maze of availability, conflicts, and last-minute changes. The inefficiency inherent in these methods often led to double bookings, missed opportunities, and frustrated artists.
Wheel and equipment reservations are labor-intensive to manage. But Classly allows members to see when things are booked and then reserve time slots on their own. Updating this list is easy, too.
