Cutting No-Shows for Service Appointments with Automated Reminders

A no-show doesn't just cost the missed appointment — it costs the bay time nobody else could book because it looked full on the schedule.

A short WhatsApp reminder the day before, with a one-tap reschedule link if something's changed, catches most no-shows before they happen. Customers who were simply going to forget now have a nudge; customers whose plans changed reschedule instead of silently not showing up.

It's a small change with an outsized effect on a service bay's utilization — and it runs automatically once it's set up, with no one manually calling every customer the day before.
