Is Your Registrars and Ceremonies Booking System Costing You Money?

How does your registrars and ceremonies booking system affect your bottom line?

Every inefficiency costs your council money.

Outdated booking systems waste staff time, create revenue leaks, and drive up admin costs.

If your system can’t capture revenue efficiently, eliminate manual work, or optimise resources, you’re paying the price—without even realising it.

Unlock New Revenue Streams

A booking system should do more than schedule appointments—it should capture every revenue opportunity.

Statutory services demand a human-first approach, but that doesn’t mean leaving money on the table.

One council in our network raised statutory service revenue by £340K by streamlining payments and maximising certificate upsells.

Most councils miss out on their biggest revenue stream: ceremonies.

The problem? Slow, outdated systems. No upfront payments. Lost upsell opportunities.

The result? Missed revenue. Wasted capacity. Frustrated customers.

Councils compete with private-sector expectations. Residents don’t wait for clunky systems. If the process is slow, they abandon bookings.

Today’s customers expect to:

• Find availability instantly—no delays, no confusion.
• Make payments upfront—no invoices, no debt chasing.
• Add extras seamlessly—from priority bookings to premium venues.
• Connect with staff when needed—without having to call.

If your system can’t deliver that, you’re losing money.  

What you need:

• Built-in Payment Processing – Lock in revenue with upfront payments.
• Integrated E-commerce – Sell certificates, packages, and services inside the booking flow.
• Upsell Opportunities – Offer priority slots, premium venues, extended ceremonies.
• Dynamic Pricing – Charge premium rates for peak times.
• Optimised User Experience – The seamless, intuitive design customers expect.
• Customisable Fees and Deposits – Set non-refundable deposits and flexible payment options.
• Automated Fee Adjustments – Adjust pricing based on lead time, location, or service type.
• Real-Time Availability – Fill gaps to maximise capacity.
• Two-Way Comms Tools – Automated SMS, email, and MS Teams alerts keep customers and staff in sync.

Why settle for ‘good enough’ when your system could drive real growth?

Full Financial and Operational Control

More revenue starts with better financial control.

If you can’t track payments, revenue, and performance in real time, you’re losing money without knowing it.

Here’s how a fit-for-purpose system transforms financial oversight:

• Financial Insights and Payment Logs – Track every pound in and out in real time. No more missing payments. No more revenue leaks.
• Automated Revenue Reconciliation – No more manual errors. Instantly match payments to bookings and stop revenue slipping through the cracks.
• KPI Monitoring and Performance Dashboards – Track service and statutory KPIs with automated, real-time reports.
• Customer Trends and Booking Insights – Identify peak demand, adjust pricing, and refine services based on data.

A powerful booking system isn’t just a calendar—it’s a decision-making tool.

Slash Costs. Maximise Efficiency  

Every hour of manual admin is money down the drain.

Your system should cut hours of wasted work every week—so your team can focus on high-value tasks, not admin headaches.

Here’s how you can turn wasted time into savings:

• Automated Workflows – Eliminate hours of repetitive admin every week. No more manual intervention. No more chasing.
• Smarter Staff Allocation – Fill registrar schedules efficiently, eliminating underutilised hours and unnecessary costs.
• Self-Service Booking – Customers book, pay, and manage their own appointments, freeing staff for priority tasks.
• Built-in Compliance – Auto-enforce business rules to meet statutory KPIs without manual checks.
• Seamless Integrations – No more duplicate data entry. Connect with payment systems, CRM, and finance tools to streamline operations

How much is wasted time costing your council?  

Future-Proof Your Investment

Outdated systems aren’t just inefficient—they’re expensive.

Every year, councils spend thousands on maintenance, upgrades, and inefficiencies.

You need a system that evolves with you—no extra charges for standard updates, no tech debt, no surprises.

• Regular Feature Enhancements – Stay ahead without spending more. Updates should be driven by user needs, not costly dev cycles.
• Fully Customisable – Adapt workflows, pricing, and messaging—without IT delays.
• Built for Growth – Expand services, add locations, introduce new revenue streams—effortlessly.
• Web-Based and Cloud-Hosted – No expensive servers. No maintenance fees. No downtime.
• All-Inclusive Pricing – No hidden fees. Standard upgrades and system updates should always be included.
• Scalable Without Rebuilds – Grow your services without costly migrations, redevelopment, or system overhauls.

No outdated tech. No hidden costs. Just a system that grows with you.
