Streamline Check-Ins with the Provider Check-In Widget

Picture this: It's 2 PM on a Tuesday, and your reception desk is buzzing. Customers are arriving for appointments, some are early, some are running a few minutes late. How do you know who's actually here and ready? With Resvly's Provider Check-In Widget, managing arrivals becomes effortless; and your customers feel heard the moment they walk through your door.

The Reception Desk Chaos

For in-person service providers; salons, clinics, fitness studios, consulting offices; the moments before an appointment can be chaotic. You're managing:

  • Customers arriving early or late without notice
  • No-shows that waste valuable time slots
  • Manual check-in processes that create bottlenecks at reception
  • Difficulty tracking who's arrived and who's running behind
  • Awkward moments when you're unsure if a customer is actually here

This friction wastes time, creates stress, and impacts your customer experience. There's a better way.

Introducing the Check-In Widget

The Check-In Widget is a simple, secure link that you display on a tablet at your reception desk or entry point. Here's how it works:

🎯 Simple for Customers

When customers arrive, they tap the link on your tablet and confirm their arrival with one click. It's that easy. No forms to fill, no accounts to create; just a quick acknowledgment that they're here and ready.

⏰ Flexible Timing

Customers can check in up to 3 hours before their appointment. Whether they arrive 2 hours early or 5 minutes before, they have the window they need to confirm their presence.

🔒 Secure & Unique

Each provider gets a unique, secure check-in link. If you ever suspect the link has been compromised, generate a new one instantly; the old link stops working immediately.

📊 Real-Time Visibility

As your team manages schedules in Resvly, you'll see which customers have checked in and who's still on their way. No more guessing; just clear, real-time information.

Why This Matters for Your Business

✓ Reduce No-Shows

Check-ins confirm intent. Customers who check in are committed to their appointment. You'll see fewer cancellations and no-shows, protecting your time and revenue.

✓ Smoother Operations

Your staff knows exactly who's arrived and when. No more interrupted workflows to check the front desk; your team stays focused on serving customers.

✓ Better Customer Experience

Customers appreciate a frictionless process. Check-in feels modern, professional, and considerate; they're acknowledged the moment they arrive.

✓ Data You Can Use

Track arrival patterns, identify regular customers, and optimize your scheduling based on real behavior data.
