A HAF booking system that delivers simplicity for providers. 

From the features & functionality to the UX design & styling, this system is designed to help councils improve the delivery of their HAF Programme for various stakeholders.

Providers can log in to their own areas within the admin portal to create activities, edit service details & view bookings.

Providers will only have permission to view their activities & we will protect all of the data held on the system, apart from the essential booking data for that specified service.

With on-site check-in, automated credit updates & attendance reporting, providers & councils benefit from improved service visibility.

Your booking system will meet the WCAG 2.2 AA & be available in multiple languages. It will also comply with ISO 27001 & GDPR. And you’ll benefit from a guaranteed up-time of 99.95% or higher.
