How it works
From the first message to the money in your account
1. The inquiry
Every inquiry answered while they are still keen
Bookings and inquiries from your website, Facebook, Instagram and Google land in one list. Each one gets a reply in your name within seconds, and you are reminded to follow up.
- Your own booking page with your services and free times
- Facebook and Instagram lead ads connect in one click
- You can see which adverts bring the bookings
2. The deposit
They say yes and pay the deposit on their phone
Send a proposal built from your own prices, or let customers book a free time straight away. They accept and pay in one go, and the booking is made for you. The money goes into your own account, and we take no percentage.
- Deposits and balances, with reminders that go out on their own
- Stripe, Square, PayPal, Mollie, Revolut or Authorize.Net
- Take a card in person on your own phone with Square
3. The day itself
Your team knows where to be, and nothing is forgotten
Each person sees only the jobs they are on, with the address, the times and what they need. Customers get a reminder before the day and a thank you with a link to your Google reviews afterwards.
- One calendar for the whole business
- Repeat bookings for regular customers
- Every customer's history in one place
Built first for photo booth rental
From the first inquiry to the booth on the van
Occanovo started inside a photo booth company, so the awkward parts of booth rental are already handled. You do the checking. Occanovo does the typing.
Never double booked
Each booth is held for a job as soon as it is booked, and the day view shows what is free before you say yes.
Proposals in a minute
The booth they chose, its price, their times and your introduction, already filled in from the inquiry.
Deposits paid on a phone
The couple accepts and pays the deposit by card in one go. The balance date is set from your own terms.
Print wording kept with the job
Names, colors and what goes on the prints stay on the booking, for whoever designs the template.
A short page for the customer
Contact on the day, parking and set-up, with what they already told you filled in.
The booth on the day
Your team sees the job, the run sheet and the equipment, and ticks the booth through packed, loaded, on site and returned.
One place for all of it
Fifteen tools, one set of customers
Everything below shares the same customers and bookings, so nothing is typed twice. Every plan has unlimited bookings.

Why we built it
Occanovo began as the system we built to run our own events business. We were answering inquiries late at night, chasing deposits over messages and sorting out staff in a group chat.
It now runs our bookings every week. We opened it up because we know how much of the week that admin takes, and how much of it software can do for you.

Questions people ask
Do you take a percentage of what I charge?
No. You connect your own payment account and customers pay you directly. The money never passes through Occanovo. You pay a flat monthly price and nothing more.
How long does it take to set up?
About ten minutes for the basics. A set-up guide walks you through each step, with a short video for each one, and picks up where you left off if you stop half way. Founding customers can have us do it with them on a call.
I already use another tool, or a spreadsheet. Can I move across?
Yes. Export your customers to a CSV file and import them from the CRM page. You see what will happen to every row before anything is saved, nobody is added twice, and you can undo the import for seven days. Founding customers get our help with it. How moving across works.
Which payment providers can I use?
Stripe, Square, PayPal, Mollie, Revolut and Authorize.Net, each with your own account. With Square you can also take a card in person on your phone. Bank transfer, Revolut, cash and check are shown on your invoices and recorded when the money arrives.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Occanovo works in the browser on any phone, and you can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app. More about using it on your phone.
What happens when the trial ends?
Choose a plan and carry on. If you do not, your workspace becomes read-only and nothing is deleted. You can export everything at any time, on every plan.
