In a significant shift within the digital scheduling world, Go Bookings, a system once favored by numerous large companies, is closing down. Visionflex, the system’s parent company, made the announcement in their annual report, marking a definitive end to the service by May 1, 2024. This decision comes after a detailed evaluation of its business prospects, with Visionflex concluding that moving away from Go Bookings is in the best interest of its shareholders.
Why Closing Go Bookings Makes Sense
At first glance, the shutdown of such a widely used system might seem like a loss. However, digging a bit deeper, it’s clear that this might actually be a positive move for everyone involved. Go Bookings, while reliable in the past, has grown outdated. Its interface and functionalities have not seen updates in years, making it less efficient compared to the modern alternatives available today. In a way, continuing to operate Go Bookings without significant upgrades would be like trying to keep an old car running when there are newer, faster, and more fuel-efficient models available.

The Right Time for a Change
This shutdown serves as a wake-up call for companies still clinging to outdated systems. It’s an opportunity to transition to modern booking platforms that offer a slew of advanced features. Today’s alternatives are not only more visually appealing but also pack functionalities that greatly surpass what Go Bookings could offer. These include seamless integration with various payment gateways and calendars like Office 365 and Google Calendar, ensuring everything works smoothly together.
Plus, a lot of the modern systems come with the ability to completely white label the booking system so it feels and behaves like it’s a part of the original brand.You can embed the booking widgets so you do not send customers out to external websites and lose confidence.
Many of these features are unimaginable with Gobookings old platform.
