What is HoneyBook?

HoneyBook is a comprehensive, cloud-based, all-in-one platform designed specifically for independent service providers and small businesses. The system brings together all business processes – from the initial enquiry to scheduling appointments to completed projects – in a single interface. Users can capture leads via customised forms or embedded contact pages, automatically send personalised responses, and map their entire project pipeline in clear phases. The linked quotation, contract, and invoicing functions save you time and significantly reduce administrative effort.

Advantages

  • Centralised customer management: All contacts, emails, documents and payments are stored in a digital customer file, giving you a complete overview at all times.
  • Automated processes: Workflows automate messages, follow-up tasks, contract dispatch, invoicing and payment reminders, helping you to concentrate on your core work.
  • Fast billing: Flexible payment plans, online payment systems (credit card, direct debit, Apple Pay and Google Pay) and the option to request deposits or tips simplify payments.
  • Professional image: Interactive quotes and contracts can be designed with your logo and colours. The design is consistent and strengthens your brand image.
  • Time savings through scheduling: Integrated calendars, availability windows, buffer times and recurring appointments allow your customers to book appointments themselves, while automatic reminders reduce no-shows.
  • Data security and scalability: The software is provided as a secure SaaS solution and supports various operating systems. It grows with your business.

Key features

  • Lead capture and registration forms to generate new orders.
  • Quotation creation, quotation management and user-friendly templates for interactive, binding quotations.
  • E-signature and digital contract signing with legally compliant templates and dynamic fields.
  • Integrated invoicing with individual payment plans, tip function, partial payments and automatic reminders.
  • Scheduler with synchronised calendars, automatic reminders and self-service booking for your customers.
  • Project management with pipeline view, task lists, notes, status tracking and a central customer portal.
  • Automation workflows with triggers to execute emails, tasks or entire processes based on time or events.
  • Extensive integrations with email services, video conferencing, payment providers, calendars and external tools such as Asana, Monday, QuickBooks or Slack via API interfaces.
  • Customer evaluations and reports that highlight trends and sales and assist with business planning.
  • Mobile apps for iOS and Android so you can manage projects on the go.
